Support

Antresol is a player for your home media library on iPhone, iPad and Mac. It browses and plays the films, TV shows, music, books, comics and audiobooks stored on your own Antresol server. The app provides no content.

Getting started

1. Install the Antresol server on a computer or NAS at home.
2. Open the server in a browser and create the administrator and profiles for your family.
3. In the app, enter the server's home-network address, for example http://192.168.1.10:8420, and tap «Connect».
4. Choose a profile. If the profile has a password, enter it.

Away from home

In the profile menu choose «Away Address…» and add the address at which the server is reachable from the internet. An https:// address or a VPN such as Tailscale works best. The app picks the reachable address by itself. To sign in away from home, the profile needs a password.

Frequently asked questions

«Couldn’t connect to the server»

Check that the server is on and the device is on the same network. If iOS asked for local network access, allow it: Settings › Privacy & Security › Local Network › Antresol.

How do I watch offline?

On a film, open «…» next to «Play» and choose «Download»; on an album or a book, tap «Download». Saved items are in the profile menu › «Downloads».

A book won’t open

The app opens EPUB, FB2, MOBI/AZW3 (DRM-free), PDF and CBZ. DjVu and books with DRM are not supported.

How do I delete my data?

The app creates no accounts: profiles are created and deleted by your server's administrator. To remove the data from a device, delete the app. More in the privacy policy.
