Notable Features

Album Art Lookup

mStream automatically retrieves album art for your collection

Quick Sync - Zero Configuration Deployments

Enable Quick Sync in the Admin Panel to access mStream without setting up port forwarding, DNS, SSL, etc. Quick Sync is a free VPN-like service powered by Iroh

NOTE: Quick Sync only works for mobile apps and the upcoming desktop app. The webapp will not work (it's the price of not having to setup DNS/SSL).

P2P Discovery

When enabled, this feature will automatically download music discovery data from other mStream servers. With this data, mStream can show your songs that are not in your collection that are similar to what your are listening to.

Please note, this is discovery only. You will have to find these songs on your own.

Federation

You can federate with other servers. Federated servers have read access to eachother's data. With this, your p2p discovery feature can now stream discovered music.

Public mode

The demo site does not require you to sign in because mStream is publicly accessible by default. This makes it easy to setup and gives you the option to keep it publicly available if you are just running it on a secured network. Once you add a user, the system becomes password protected.

Installing mStream

Binaries

NOTE: as of v6.20, releases ship one standalone bundle per platform (no Electron). Double-click the desktop face — mStream.exe on Windows, mStream.app on macOS, mstream-desktop on Linux — for the tray app with start-at-login and Quick Connect, or run the bundled mstream-server directly for a plain terminal/headless server (the only flavor in the linux-arm64 and musl bundles). Details in the install docs.
