Development Status

See the current development status, project focus, contribution opportunities, and the public roadmap for the CinePro Core streaming backend.

CinePro Core has officially launched! The project is actively maintained and open for contributions.

Where the project stands

CinePro Core is the TypeScript, OMSS‑compliant backend at cinepro-org/core — the active foundation for the entire CinePro ecosystem. The original JavaScript backend at cinepro-org/backend is archived and kept for historical reference only.

CinePro is a modular, high‑performance movie and TV scraper that does not host any media itself and is intended for personal and home use only. The project is maintained by a small team — and that’s exactly why we need you.

Production or commercial deployments are not supported. CinePro Core and the example frontend are intended for experimentation, learning, and home‑lab usage.

Current focus areas

1. Provider coverage & quality

CinePro Core ships with multiple providers under src/providers, but coverage and stability are continuously evolving. This is one of the highest-impact areas for new contributors.

1. Stabilize existing providers

   Fix edge cases, improve error handling, and ensure providers degrade gracefully when a source goes offline.

2. Add new providers

   Expand the set of supported sources to increase availability and redundancy for movies and TV shows.

2. CineHome integration

Beyond the streaming backend, it is planned that CinePro/core also powers CineHome — a service for automating downloads to a NAS or similar device. This has not been started yet, but will be a major focus in the coming months. CineHome will be a separate repository, but close integration with Core will be essential.

We need contributors — and that means you

CinePro is a small team maintaining a growing ecosystem. There’s plenty of meaningful work available at every skill level — whether you write code, test things, or just improve docs.
