Plex Prerolls
A self-hosted Media & Streaming app you can run on your own server.
With Plex Prerolls, you get a self-hosted media and streaming application that lives on your own server, under your rules. Because it runs on infrastructure you control, your data stays with you and there is no subscription required to keep using it.
Development happens in the open on Codeberg; the repository has collected 3 stars so far. Repository activity was last recorded on Mar 30, 2026, and the project is classed as actively maintained in our snapshot. It is listed as a companion app — a tool that extends or helps you manage a self-hosted service rather than replacing it.
Before you switch
Media servers live or die by transcoding performance and library organisation. Check the hardware-acceleration support for your GPU or NAS, and test with a small library first. Most tools scan standard folder structures automatically, so tidy naming pays off quickly.
Like every project listed on SelfHosted, Plex Prerolls is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
