Takeout is a copyleft media service that indexes organized media files in S3 buckets using MusicBrainz, Last.fm, Fanart.tv, and The Movie Database to make media available for streaming using a mobile app, TV app, web interface and VLC. Media is browsed using the Takeout server and streamed directly from S3 using pre-signed time-based URLs.
Takeout is primarily a music player that also supports radio, movies and podcasts. It's not intended to be a replacement for more feature-rich systems like Plex, Jellyfin and Kodi. Instead, Takeout takes inspiration from these systems and attempts to be a small yet capable system designed around media being stored in the cloud. You can take your personal media collection with you, on your own terms, create your own personal streaming service, and enjoy your media with free and open source software.
