Your films, on every screen in the house.

Palladium reads the folders you already have, finds the artwork and the subtitles, and serves them to a browser, a phone and a television on your own network. No account, no subscription, and nothing leaves the house unless you invite somebody into it.

The server is on palladium.video/server and the app on palladium.video/app.

The front page: rows of what is being watched and what was added — 1What is half-watched, and what arrived lately.

Collections drawn as posters, each with what it holds — 2Collections are rules rather than lists, so releases added later join by themselves.

Films, with the genre menu open and two genres marked — 3Several genres at once: the shelf keeps what carries all of them, and the button says how many that is.

The settings screen: theme, name and the most sent to you — 4Settings belong to the person reading them; the server keeps them, so every screen agrees.

What it is for

Subtitles in time with the film

The subtitle is measured against the film's own audio and corrected - one offset, a drift, or a number for each part of it. The correction is kept for that file, so everybody watching it gets it.

Plays what you have

The file goes to the screen untouched wherever the screen can take it, and is converted only where it cannot - on the graphics card if the machine has one. It says which of the two is happening.

Identified properly

Title and year are asked before popularity, so a remake does not take the original's entry, and a release that counts a double-length premiere as two is put back on its own episode numbers.

People you invite

An invitation is a link with a name on it. Each guest keeps their own place in every film, sees nothing else, and can be watched and stopped from Now playing.

A second machine

Another computer can follow the first and keep copies of what is being watched. When the first is off the second answers, and a film whose source goes away moves across mid-play.

Films to download

Films from a torrent pack wait in the library, greyed. Download fetches them one at a time, shows how far, how fast and how long on every screen, and each film joins the library by itself.

Every screen

Any browser, an Android phone, and a television that pairs with a five-character code. Chromecast and AirPlay where the device offers them.

Something wrong, or missing

Faults are best reported from Reports inside Palladium itself: the report carries the version and what the server was doing, which a message never does. For everything else, write to support@grovestick.com.

What it is not

Not a catalogue. Nothing is provided with it: what you can watch is what you already have on disk.
Not a cloud service. Nothing is uploaded, and it keeps working whatever happens to whoever wrote it.
Not a way to share a library with strangers. Guests are people you invite, and you can see what they are watching.
