Home Media Catalog

Home Media Catalog brings your movies, TV shows and personal video files together on iPhone and iPad. Organize your Kodi library, browse videos on your network or OneDrive, control Kodi and enjoy a versatile video player. Start in standalone mode—no Home Media Catalog server required—or connect to your own server for a shared catalog and optional AI search.

YOUR MEDIA COLLECTION, ORGANIZED

• Explore movies, series, seasons and episodes with artwork, cast details, technical information and multiple editions.
• Browse in grid or list view, with search, filters and sorting.
• Create personal lists, add ratings and track watched titles.
• Import supported libraries from Kodi, CLZ Movies, My Movies and Filmotech. Kodi and collection imports can work directly on your iPhone.

PLAY VIDEOS ON IPHONE AND IPAD

• Play compatible local files and network videos, including supported MP4 and MKV files.
• Seek through videos, navigate the timeline and select available audio tracks or subtitles.
• View technical details such as resolution, codecs and audio characteristics.
• Try experimental motion interpolation (MEMC) at 48 or 60 fps on compatible devices. Results depend on the video and hardware.
• Save supported videos for offline playback.
• Open videos from Files or the iOS share sheet.

NETWORK AND CLOUD ACCESS

• Explore SMB shares directly from your device.
• Browse FTP, SFTP and NFS locations through a compatible Home Media Catalog server, where supported.
• Connect to OneDrive to browse supported cloud videos.
• Access other file providers, including iCloud Drive, through Apple's Files app. Availability and streaming behavior depend on the provider.
• Browse folders with previews and sorting options, and save supported files locally.

KODI CONTROL AND SYNCHRONIZATION

• Connect to compatible Kodi instances, browse your library and launch playback on Kodi.
• Use remote playback controls, including play, pause, seek and volume.
• Import and refresh Kodi media information using JSON-RPC, with an optional MariaDB fallback.
• Manage personal ratings and watched status where supported.
• Run the app without a Home Media Catalog server, or pair it with your own server to share your catalog across devices and the web.

OPTIONAL AI SEARCH

Connect to a configured Home Media Catalog server to search your own collection with natural language. Explore films and series by themes, stories and descriptions rather than just titles. AI search is not available in standalone mode and requires a configured AI provider.

TRY VIDEO PLAYBACK FOR FREE

Enjoy 10 free full-screen video playback sessions. Afterward, one non-consumable in-app purchase unlocks the native video player, including MEMC. Catalog browsing and Kodi remote control remain free.

GOOD TO KNOW

Home Media Catalog does not provide movies or TV shows. It helps you organize and play media you already own or can access. Playback depends on file format, codec, device, network and source permissions; not every format or feature is supported in every configuration.
