  • LibVLCSharp

    Cross-platform .NET/Mono bindings for LibVLC

  • Local -- can't go wrong with VLC- free/open source. Been around forever. Lots of keyboard shortcuts to use.

  • Kodi Home Theater Software

    Kodi is an award-winning free and open source home theater/media center software and entertainment hub for digital media. With its beautiful interface and powerful skinning engine, it's available for Android, BSD, Linux, macOS, iOS, tvOS and Windows.

  • Network -- Either PLEX or KODI are really good media server apps. The app runs on a computer 24/7, and then you "send" the video feed to the TV of your choice either via Smart Stick or a tiny media computer connected to the TV via HDMI. Think of them as your own personal Netflix.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
