Plays MP4, WebM, MKV, AVI, MOV and M4V

Everything a streaming app does, using files you already own

Familiar browsing, instant playback, and no subscription.

Private by design

Your files stream straight from your PC over your router. No cloud copy, no analytics, no sign-up.

Any screen with a browser

Phones, tablets, laptops and smart TVs all just work. Open the address shown in the app and press play.

MKV and AVI, no conversion

MP4 and WebM play directly. MKV, AVI and MOV are converted to streaming format on the fly, with seeking.

Subtitles included

Put an SRT or VTT file next to the movie with the same name and it appears in the player menu.

Continue watching

Each device remembers where you stopped, so you can resume a movie from the sofa after starting it in bed.

Posters from your videos

Optional thumbnails are captured from each movie and cached in a hidden folder, so the library looks great from day one.

Questions, answered

Which devices can watch?

Anything with a current browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari) that is on the same Wi-Fi or network as the computer running SATS Play.

Which video formats are supported?

MP4, M4V and WebM play directly. MKV, AVI and MOV are converted to HLS streaming on the fly, which uses some of your computer’s processor while you watch. A few files with unusual codecs may not play in every browser.

Does it work away from home?

SATS Play is built for your local network. It does not create an internet-facing service or a cloud copy of your library.

Is there a password?

No. Anyone connected to your network can open the player, so use it on a network you trust and avoid public Wi-Fi.

How do subtitles work?

Save an SRT or VTT file in the same folder with the same name as the movie. SATS Play finds it automatically.
