About#

RetroArcher is a game streaming server application. This project is under development and nowhere near ready for use.

Our support methods are listed in our LizardByte Docs.

Plugin Framework

Develop a framework friendly to plugins that allows easy expansion of the application.

Plugin types may be:

Game Stream Hosts (Sunshine)
Clients (Android, AppleTV, iOS, PC [Linux, MacOS, Windows], Xbox One/Series S/X, etc.)
Emulators (Cemu, RetroArch, RPCS3, etc.)
Game Stores (Epic Games, Steam, Microsoft Store, etc.)
Consoles (game streaming Xbox One/Series S/X, PS4/5, etc.)
Media Servers (Emby, Jellyfin, Kodi, Plex, etc.)
Misc. (anything that doesn’t fit a category above)

Replace Existing RetroArcher.bundle

RetroArcher.bundle has been renamed to RetroArcher-plex and it has significantly changed:

No longer responsible for scanning games
No longer responsible for connecting to clients
No longer responsible for starting games
No longer gets metadata from IGDB
- Metadata is now collected from our own db based on IGDB.
- In the future metadata will be collected by this server application, and the Plex plugin will make an API request to this server to get the metadata.
