# Maraschino



* **Author**: [Bradley Abrahams](https://github.com/mrkipling)



* **Main collaborators**: [Gustavo Hoirisch](https://github.com/gugahoi) and [David Gray](https://github.com/N3MIS15)



## What is Maraschino?



I wanted a simple web interface to act as a nice overview/front page for my Kodi HTPC. I couldn't find anything that suited my requirements so I created something myself.



You can find more information and setup instructions on the [project homepage](http://www.maraschinoproject.com/ "Maraschino Project homepage").



In addition, there's also a thread on the [Kodi forums](http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=113136&highlight=maraschino "Kodi forums").

## What features does it have?



* **Customisable applications module** providing quick access to your web interfaces (e.g. SABnzb+, SickBeard, or whatever else you want to link to).



* **Recently added episodes/movies/albums modules** - click an episode or movie to play it in Kodi.



* **Media library browser** - browse your entire movie and TV library, and click to play in Kodi. Queue items to play after.



* **Control multiple Kodi servers** - do you have an Kodi server in both the living room and bedroom? Switch between the two instantly and control them using Maraschino. Send notification messages to them remotely!



* **SABnzbd+ and NZBGet modules** manage your nzb queue from within Maraschino - they appear when something is downloading and hide again when finished - shows you what is currently downloading, speed, time/MB remaining, and a progress bar. Control (pause, resume, speed limit) your downloads.



* **Usenet search** - search Usenet and add files directly to SABnzbd+ with the click of a button.



* **Currently playing bar** with play/pause/stop/volume controls, and a clickable seek bar.



* **trakt.tv shouts module** which shows you what people are saying about the episode or movie that you're watching, and allows you to add your own shouts (requires a free trakt.tv account).



* **trakt.tv plus module** - see what your friends are watching, and view personalised TV and movie recommendations based on your viewing history.



* **Sickbeard module** which allows you to browse upcoming episodes and manage Sickbeard directly from Maraschino (add new shows, search for episodes, etc.).



* **CouchPotato module** which allows you to browse upcoming movies and manage CouchPotato directly from Maraschino (add new movies, etc.).



* **Headphones module** which allows you to browse upcoming albums and manage Headphones directly from Maraschino (add new artists, search for albums, etc.).



* **Disk space module** showing you used/remaining space on your various drives.



* **uTorrent and Transmission modules** for the torrent users among you.



* **Weather module** for your local city, because why not!



* Full-screen background image which changes to the fanart of what you're currently watching (optional, can be turned off - but looks kinda pretty)



* Customisable from within the application itself - choose how many columns you want, add new modules, rearrange them using drag-and-drop, and modify their settings without touching any settings files!



Uses Flask and some other awesome technologies (SQL-Alchemy, LESS CSS) but you don't need to know about that if you don't want to.
