NEXA Server
The streaming service lives in your house.
Install NEXA on a Windows PC, point it at your folders, and it does the rest — artwork, descriptions and seasons appear on their own, and every device you sign in to picks it up.
- Transcoding
- Hardware-accelerated with NVIDIA, Intel or AMD graphics, so 4K files still play smoothly on a phone.
- Remote access
- Secure access from anywhere through the NEXA relay — no router settings, and your home address stays private.
- Libraries
- Movies, TV, music and live IPTV with guide data. Local drives, network shares and USB all work.
- Requests
- Friends ask for a title; approve it and NEXA hands it to Radarr or Sonarr and adds it when it's ready.
Anywhere
From the couch, to the train, to bed.
Pick up where you left off on any device. When the connection gets weak, NEXA lowers the quality a step so the picture keeps moving — and raises it again when things improve.
One account, every device
Sign in once with your nexaapp.tv account. Every server you own or have been invited to shows up automatically.
Quality that adapts
Choose Auto and NEXA handles bad hotel Wi-Fi for you, or pick a fixed quality to save data on the go.
Built for each screen
Native apps for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Fire TV and Android — and NEXA Web for any browser.
Sharing
Invite the people you'd share the couch with.
- 01Invites by email or link. Friends create a free account and your server appears in their apps.
- 02Access per person. Choose which libraries each person sees, and cap their streaming quality.
- 03Their own progress. Everyone keeps their own watch history and Continue Watching row.
- 04Coming from Plex? Bring your friends and their watch history across when they join.

Coming soonDoes NEXA cost anything?
No. NEXA Server and your nexaapp.tv account are free, with no subscription and no credit card.
Where is my media stored?
On your own computer, always. nexaapp.tv only keeps your account and a list of the servers linked to it so sign-in works across devices — never your files or what you watch.
Can I watch when I'm away from home?
Yes. NEXA connects through its relay, so you can stream from anywhere without opening ports on your router, and your home address isn't shared with viewers.
What do my friends need?
An invite from you and a free NEXA account. Your server then appears in their apps, limited to the libraries you choose.
What computer do I need?
A Windows 10 or 11 PC, 64-bit. A graphics card from NVIDIA, Intel or AMD makes transcoding much lighter, but it isn't required.
