+1 That looks great. How does it compare to Plex server? I paid for Plex lifetime subscription, and it has everything. But I will definitely try this.

Hey, I'm the maintainer. At the moment Dim is really raw in comparison to plex, there are no clients besides web, and it doesn't display as much data (actors, etc).
I'm curious about the reason to be for this. What is the problem you're trying to solve vs. let's say Plex or Jellyfin?

I don't know about jellyfin but as a daily Plex user, there are plenty of problems to solve. Not trying to extract money from me by cramming bullshit onto my home screen, not breaking every other update, not failing to stream when using the default "original quality" setting, not showing particular titles on some devices but not others, and not mistaking the Toy Story behind-the-scenes videos for gay pornography would be an improvement over Plex.
