Try Aura, no TV and no NAS needed.
Start the simulated scan: the library is built in six phases, then browse the streaming-style home with the virtual remote or your keyboard arrows.
This page does not run the real product: it is a simulation that runs only in your browser, with no network and with made-up titles, files and ratings.
1 · Discovery and pipeline
Every launch walks through the same six phases. Here they run on an invented library.

ContentDirectoryClient.browse()Reading the library
UPnP Browse with recursive folder scanning.
DidlParser.parse()DIDL-Lite parsing
XML responses become MediaItem objects.
FilenameParser.parse()Name cleanup
Title and year from the file name; S01E01 and 1x01 patterns.
LibraryRepository.classify()Classification
Movies and episodes told apart by path and file name.
TmdbClient.lookup()Metadata and covers

2 · File name cleanup
Type a file name (or use the sample) and see how it is interpreted.

- Year
- Episode
3 · Simulated TV screen
Home → Series detail → Player. Select a title by click, Enter or remote.
No file is downloaded or played. Titles, files, durations and ratings are made up.
I built Aura myself, on my own — and I'm looking for my first role as a junior developer.
I'm Samuele Rota, a self-taught full-stack developer: this is one of eight projects I designed, wrote and published end to end. If your company is looking for a junior who delivers, get in touch.
