Copilot - Do streaming apps like Netflix run on open source media servers
Streaming apps like Netflix do not typically run on open-source media servers. Netflix, for example, uses a combination of proprietary and open-source technologies to deliver its content. While Netflix does contribute to and use open-source software (such as React, Node.js, Docker, and Kafka), the core infrastructure and media servers are proprietary.

If you're interested in open-source alternatives for streaming, there are several options available, such as Stremio, Movie-web, WatchIT, and Miru. These platforms offer various features and customization options for streaming your media collection.

If you have any other questions or need more information, feel free to ask!
