Help Centre

Answers for a local-first library.

Start with folder selection, then use search, tags, playlists, cover art, and backups to keep your personal collection organised.

Watching and organising

Playback, tags, and playlists stay close to the video.

LocalStream keeps video controls, progress, tags, playlists, favourites, and cover art tools together so you can organise what you are watching without leaving the player view.

Getting started

Select a folder that contains your videos. LocalStream reads the selected location and builds a browsable library view.

Organisation

Use tags, playlists, favourites, custom titles, and custom cover art to make large libraries easier to navigate.

Disconnected drives

If a drive is unavailable, reconnect it before trying to play videos stored on that drive.
