MediaCMS
Modern, fully featured open source video and media CMS, written in Python/Django/React, featuring a REST API.
MediaCMS is an open‑source content management system for video, audio, image and PDF assets, built with Django, Python, Celery and a React front‑end. It runs on self‑hosted infrastructure and exposes a documented REST API, allowing developers to integrate media handling into custom web platforms. The platform supports adaptive streaming via HLS, multiple transcoding profiles, subtitles, and an enhanced video.js player with resolution and speed controls.
The system provides role‑based access control, configurable publishing workflows (public, private, unlisted, custom), and user management options such as self‑registration or invite‑only access. Media can be organized with categories, tags, playlists, and searchable live‑search functionality, while built‑in tools like a video trimmer and automatic transcription via Whisper facilitate editing and accessibility.
Intended for universities, organizations handling sensitive content, community portals, or personal media collections, MediaCMS offers a fully featured, customizable solution without vendor lock‑in, released under the AGPL‑3.0 license.
