From the Developer

This plugin has been a labor of love. I’ve poured a lot of time and effort into it entirely on my own, unpaid. What started as a simple idea became a full media server with real-time transcoding, a mobile PWA, device authentication, and more than I ever planned to build.

I’ll likely be stepping back from active development for now, but it should continue to work as-is. If Eagle is ever looking for part-time plugin developers or wants to bring some of this functionality closer to the core product, I’d love to chat.
