Yamibunko

Yamibunko is a all in one local anime library and file processor, with a desktop launcher and a web UI.
It can optimize your files, organizes them and can play them back through the WebUI.

Features

General

• Custom player designed for animes, with the usual controls, skip intro button and Google casting.
• Responsive layouts for all pages, on desktop, tablets, and phones.
• Direct-File play and transcoding are possible.
• Per-series library grouping, no more searching, its all grouped together.
• AniList integration for metadata, tracking, watching progress and watching status.
• Desktop launcher that prepares the runtime, starts the webapp, and keeps setup easier to use.
• Bandwidth-aware streaming, uses a server limit and helps avoid overloading the host connection.
• One active stream per user, with confirmation when switching playback to another episode or device.
• VIP priority streaming so selected users can get better access when the server is under load.

File Processing

• If enabled it can convert input files for smaller, more consistent files, using HEVC conversion when needed.
• If disabled it only servers your existing files and does not edit them.

AniList Setup

AniList user features require an AniList API client.
Configure the client redirect URL to match the Yamibunko callback URL:

Examples:
http://192.168.178.10:3000/api/anilist/oauth/callback
https://your-domain.example/api/anilist/oauth/callback

Use the same base URL in the launcher or .env file.
If you host Yamibunko behind a path prefix, the callback path is appended behind that base URL.
