You run Plex, Jellyfin, or Kodi. You need storage that your media server can access. Seedr provides the cloud backend — terabytes of storage that mounts as a network drive. Your media server handles the interface; Seedr handles the files.

How It Works

1. Add content to Seedr — Paste links, use automation tools, or upload directly
2. Mount via WebDAV — Your Seedr storage appears as a network drive
3. Point your media server at it — Plex/Jellyfin scans and indexes your library
4. Stream to any device — Your media server serves content to all your clients

Seedr becomes invisible infrastructure. Your family sees Plex with movie posters and TV show seasons. Behind the scenes, files live in Seedr's cloud.

Why Cloud Storage for Media Servers?

No Hardware to Buy or Maintain

Traditional setup: NAS device ($300-800), hard drives ($50-150 each), RAID configuration, replacement drives when they fail. With Seedr: subscribe, mount, done. No upfront cost, no hardware failures, no drive replacements.

No Electricity Bills

A NAS running 24/7 adds $5-15/month to your electricity bill. Drives spinning, fans running, UPS battery backup. Seedr runs on our infrastructure — your electricity cost is zero.

Access From Anywhere

Local NAS requires VPN or port forwarding for remote access. Seedr is already in the cloud — access your media server from anywhere without network configuration.

Faster Downloads

Seedr downloads on 10Gbit servers. A file that takes an hour on your home connection finishes in seconds on ours. Content is ready to watch almost immediately.

Supported Media Servers

Plex

Mount Seedr via WebDAV or FTP. Add as a library source in Plex. Plex scans your content, fetches metadata from online databases, organizes into movies/shows/music, and serves to any Plex client.

Jellyfin

Open-source alternative to Plex. Same WebDAV connection method. Self-hosted, no subscription fees, full control over your server.

Kodi

Our official Seedr addon integrates directly. Browse and play without mounting — the addon handles everything.

Emby

Similar to Plex and Jellyfin. WebDAV mounting works the same way.

Seedr + Plex vs Traditional NAS

After 2-3 years, TCO (total cost of ownership) is comparable. But with Seedr, you skip the upfront investment, avoid hardware hassles, and get faster downloads from day one.

Automation Pipeline

The real power comes from automation. Connect Seedr to the *arr ecosystem:

1. Sonarr/Radarr monitors for content you want
2. When found, sends download to Seedr via API
3. Seedr downloads at gigabit speed
4. Plex/Jellyfin scans the new file via WebDAV
5. Content appears in your library, ready to watch

You add a movie to your wanted list. Everything else happens automatically. No manual downloading, no file management, no waiting.

Plans for Media Servers

Master ($19/mo) Master ($19/mo) is the entry point for media server use — 1TB handles most libraries, WebDAV is included, 25 concurrent tasks clears queues quickly.

Gold Gold tiers for larger libraries or heavier automation. Gold Four at 10TB with 100 tasks is effectively a cloud seedbox.

What You Still Need

Seedr provides storage and downloading. You still need:

• A Plex/Jellyfin server — Can be your PC, a NAS (used as server only, not storage), a mini PC, or a cloud VPS
• A way to mount WebDAV — Built into Windows, Mac, and Linux. NAS devices also support it.
• Client devices — Smart TV, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, phones, etc. (you probably already have these)

The Plex/Jellyfin server can be low-powered since it's not storing files locally — it just needs to run the server software and mount the network drive.

Common Questions

Is there latency when streaming from cloud storage?

Minimal. WebDAV performs well for media streaming. Plex/Jellyfin buffer ahead, so you won't notice the network latency. Direct play works smoothly; transcoding adds the same delay it would with local storage.

Can multiple people stream at once?

Yes. Your Plex/Jellyfin server handles multiple streams as usual. Seedr serves the files; your server distributes to clients.

What about transcoding?

Transcoding happens on your Plex/Jellyfin server, not on Seedr. If your server has a good CPU or hardware transcoding, it works the same as with local files.

Can I use Seedr without Plex/Jellyfin?

Yes. Seedr has its own streaming player. But media server software adds metadata, organization, multi-user support, and apps for every platform.

What if my internet goes down?

No access to cloud storage. Same limitation as any cloud service. For critical viewing, cache content locally or keep a small local library.

Is 1TB enough?

Depends on your habits. If you watch and delete, 1TB cycles through a lot of content. If you hoard everything permanently, consider Gold tiers. You can upgrade anytime.

1TB storage. WebDAV included. 4K streaming.
