What is Kinema?

Kinema is a local media library and video player for Windows, Linux and (as an early version) Android TV. It browses the films and TV shows on your disk, USB drive or NAS like a streaming app, with posters, descriptions, Continue watching and next episode, but there is no server to run and no account to make. It plays through mpv and sets the picture and sound up from what your equipment reports: refresh rate matching, HDR, and Atmos, DTS:X and TrueHD sent untouched to a receiver, each chosen per device on the first run. When it is not sure which title a file is, it puts the file aside for you to check instead of guessing. It can skip intros, sync watched history to Trakt and SIMKL, and works with a keyboard, mouse or TV remote. MIT licence. Built by one person with Claude, and tested on a small number of setups.
