The product idea, in one picture

One library in. Every experience out.

Prismedia keeps the shared shape of your media in one private system, then gives movies, music, books, audiobooks, comics, and galleries the interfaces they deserve.

People · Studios · Tags · Collections · Progress · Files · History

The collection is already one thing

Managing it should feel that way.

Finding something, bringing it home, fixing its metadata, organizing its files, and finally enjoying it often means crossing a chain of disconnected tools.

Prismedia keeps the item and its history intact from the first request to the next play.

01

Discover

Search the providers you choose and decide what belongs.

02

Acquire

Review releases, follow the transfer, and import with context.

03

Identify

Compare proposals, artwork, and metadata before accepting.

04

Enjoy

Watch, listen, read, and browse with personal progress.

05

Maintain

Keep files, scans, jobs, users, and failures in view.

One lifecycle

Wanted today. Available tomorrow. Still the same item.

Provider identity, acquisition state, files, artwork, history, and progress stay connected as an item moves through Prismedia.

Every medium deserves an experience

One foundation. Purpose-built ways to enjoy it.

Shared identity, files, progress, and relationships underneath. Interfaces shaped around what you are actually doing on top.

Video · Movies · Series

A theater, not a file list.

Direct play when the screen can handle it. Stream copy when it can. On-demand HLS when it cannot. The choice stays out of the way while subtitles, transcripts, trickplay, and resume stay close.

  • Direct Play, stream copy, and adaptive HLS
  • Subtitles, docked transcripts, and trickplay
  • Personal progress across the household
  • Custom native playback with device-level codec support

Custom native player · Apple TV

Full-fidelity playback, built around the device.

Across iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV, Prismedia uses the device's own codec and playback stack to direct-play supported sources at original quality—including lossless audio—while keeping stream state and controls clear.

Books · Comics · eBooks · Audiobooks

Read it your way. Or listen and read together.

EPUB, PDF, and comic reading are first-class experiences—not a download link. Tune the page, keep your place, then move between the written and narrated edition from one book.

  • EPUB, PDF, paged comics, and webtoon layouts
  • Paper, white, sepia, soft gray, and dark themes
  • Typeface, size, weight, line, letter, and word spacing
  • Combined reading and audiobook progress

The same book, in two forms

Reading and listening share one place in your library.

The book detail keeps reading and audiobook progress side by side, with separate Continue Reading and Continue Listening actions.

Images · Galleries · Collections

The visual library gets room to breathe.

Browse individual images, move through galleries in a dedicated lightbox, and connect artwork to people, studios, tags, and collections without flattening everything into a poster grid.
