OPEN SOURCE MEDIA INTERCHANGE LAYER

BOSS Protocol.

All your media sources in.
One protocol layer out.

A free, open-source media interchange layer. Bring supported sources together, normalize your library, and deliver Xtream, Manifest or BOSS endpoints, plus experimental Jellyfin and Emby connections to your apps and services.

Many sources. One consistent media layer.
Free & open source Your authorized sources Built for interoperability

ONE LAYER. THREE SIMPLE STEPS.

Less friction. More connection.

Different sources, a shared language.
From your library to the apps you build.

01

Ingest

Connect supported media inputs like Xtream, Emby, Plex, Jellyfin, Stremio, and M3U / M3U8.

02

Normalize

Bring multiple source types into one consistent media layer, with shared identities and source-aware capabilities.

03

Deliver

Output Xtream, Manifest or BOSS endpoints for downstream apps and services. Resolve playback when it is requested.

Capabilities depend on each source and player. BOSS preserves supported functionality; it does not bypass access controls or transcode media.

OPEN CODE. OPEN POSSIBILITIES.

Free and open
by design.

BOSS Protocol makes media interoperability simpler. Use it freely, extend it, and build on top of it.
