Media Server - Development Guide
Overview
Standalone REST API server (FastAPI) for controlling system-wide media playback on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android.
Running the Server
Manual Start
python -m media_server.main
Auto-Start on Boot (Windows Task Scheduler)
Run in Administrator PowerShell from the media-server directory:
.\media_server\service\install_task_windows.ps1
To remove the scheduled task:
Unregister-ScheduledTask -TaskName "MediaServer" -Confirm:$false
Configuration
Copy config.example.yaml to config.yaml and customize.
The API token is generated on first run and displayed in the console output.
Default port: 8765
Versioning
Version is tracked in two files that must be kept in sync:
pyproject.toml-[project].versionmedia_server/__init__.py-__version__
When releasing a new version, update both files with the same version string.
Git Rules
- Always ask for user approval before committing changes to git.
- When pushing, always push to all remotes:
git push origin master && git push github master
