Prismedia vs NaboTV

Your media is already one collection. Prismedia gives it one private home. Connect the native app to the Prismedia server you host, then browse, watch, listen, and read without handing your library to an advertising platform. Movies, series, music, audiobooks, ebooks, comics, images, and galleries keep their own purpose-built experiences while sharing one identity, one account, and personal progress. WATCH IN FULL FIDELITY Prismedia uses a custom native player built around the codecs and playback capabilities of your Apple devices. Supported sources can direct-play at original quality, including lossless audio, while the server can remux or transcode when the device needs another format. Paused playback keeps title, timeline, stream state, resolution, audio, subtitles, and speed controls readable. READ YOUR WAY Open EPUB, PDF, and comic archives in a native reader. Choose typography, theme, margins, spacing, pagination, or continuous scrolling. A book can also carry an audiobook edition, keeping reading and listening progress together so you can move between text and narration. LISTEN NATIVELY Browse artists and albums, manage a queue, and control music or audiobooks with familiar native playback surfaces. Artwork, chapters, progress, shuffle, and repeat stay close at hand. BUILT FOR EVERY SCREEN Use touch-first browsing and reading on iPhone and iPad, then move to a focus-first living-room experience on Apple TV. Personal accounts keep playback and reading progress with the right member of the household. SELF-HOSTED BY DESIGN Prismedia connects to a server you operate. The server centralizes library scanning, metadata, files, requests, acquisition, streaming, and background work. The native app has no advertising, cross-app tracking, or developer analytics. Requires a reachable Prismedia server and a Prismedia account. Server software, installation instructions, and source are available from the Prismedia website.

NaboTV brings everything you can watch into one place, no matter where it lives. Instead of opening app after app to work out what to watch and where it is playing, you get a single library built around you and the services you already pay for. WHERE TO WATCH, INSTANTLY Search any movie or show and see exactly where it is available. NaboTV tracks streaming availability across services, so you know at a glance whether something is included with a subscription you already have, available to rent or buy, or already sitting on your own server. One tap opens the right app at the right title. YOUR OWN MEDIA, BUILT IN Connect a Plex, Emby, or Jellyfin server and your personal library sits right alongside everything else. Your movies, shows, and episodes become searchable, resumable, and ready to play, with subtitles and audio handled for you. PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Continue Watching follows you from room to room. Start an episode on the television, finish it on your phone, and your progress, your on-deck episodes, and your season tracking stay in sync. DISCOVER SOMETHING WORTH YOUR TIME Browse a deep catalog with real detail: cast and crew, ratings, reviews, and collections. Filter by genre, decade, rating, or what you can actually watch tonight, then save any search you like as a row on your home screen. Build watchlists and keep the good stuff organized. MADE FOR THE BIG SCREEN NaboTV is designed for television first and is at home on iPhone and iPad. Cast to the big screen, or use your phone as a remote for the room. WATCH TOGETHER Add friends, send recommendations, and talk about what to watch next. You stay in control, with the ability to block or report anyone at any time. BUILT FOR A WHOLE HOUSEHOLD Every profile can have its own maximum rating, blocked genres, daily time limit, and viewing window. The service enforces these settings, not the app on the television, so a bedtime cannot be lifted by changing the clock on the TV. Blocked titles become a request an adult can approve from their own device, and any profile can be locked with a PIN. New kids profiles start restricted rather than open. WHEN NOBODY IS WATCHING Let the screen go idle, and NaboTV drifts into an ambient mode with artwork, local weather, and trivia, so the television is worth looking at between shows. YOUR VIEWING IS YOURS NaboTV collects only what it needs to make the experience work, and location is entirely optional. GETTING IN NaboTV is in early access and requires an account.
