Athena Media Server

Cool little media server, WIP :^)

TODO List

Features

  • Can transcode to a wide variety of formats.
  • Fast and light-weight.
  • Can stream media over FTP or HTTP, with transcoding enabled on both.
  • Supports CUDA/NVENC/QuickSync/v4lm2m acceleration.
  • Supports WiiMC.

WiiMC

In your config, enable services.special.

Then, add these two lines to your onlinemedia.xml file:

<link name="Athena Media Server - Search" type="search" addr="http://<ip>:8128/wiimc/search?q="/>
<link name="Athena Media Server" addr="http://<ip>:8128/wiimc/list"/>

Here's what it looks like in action.

How does FTP Streaming work?

Athena will generate a faux file list when a client connects using the encoding parameters in the username used to login. (If you want all of the files in SD quality set your username to q_sd, if you want SD quality AND h264 then use q_sd.vc_h264). This has successfully been tested in the VLC mobile app and work is being done to better support more FTP-streaming players (such as WiiMC).

Parameters

HTTP FTP What is it used for? Possible values
format f Selects a container to be used. MP4, TS, MKV
quality q Sets the video quality. UHD, FHD, HD, SD, LD
videoCodec vc Sets the video codec to be used IF the video quality is anything except SOURCE. SOURCE, H264_BASELINE,, H264_HIGH HEVC, SPARK, AV1
audioCodec ac Sets the audio codec to be used. SOURCE, AAC, MP3, OPUS

Support for older devices

Your mileage may vary, but do play around with the parameters and let me know what you can get working with Athena! If you're unsure of what your client supports then you can open up WebMediaTest on your device (or run it locally to bypass https) and use the tester tables to detect what your device supports.

Prerequisites

  • Requires FFMPEG installed on your path, Google it ;)
  • Requires Java 11 or greater. You can grab that here.
