What is Fanmu
Fanmu is a self-hosted media library.
Your videos live on a WebDAV drive (OpenList included). Mount that drive in Fanmu and you can play in a browser, with danmaku on top.
Why this exists
Watching a local or cloud file has one old problem: no danmaku.
DanDanPlay solved this for desktop: play a file from disk, get matching online danmaku. Fanmu does the same idea in a browser:
- Nothing to install on every machine
- Phone, tablet, TV browser all work
- Files stay in one place on the drive
What it can do
- Mount WebDAV (OpenList uses its WebDAV endpoint)
- Play video in the browser; progress is saved
- Danmaku: matched from the open danmaku network; local XML as fallback
- Library: scan in files, posters, resume where you left off
- Accounts: each person has their own list and progress
How it relates to DanDanPlay
| DanDanPlay | Fanmu | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | Desktop app | In the browser |
| Where files live | Local disk | WebDAV drive |
| Danmaku | Open danmaku network | Same network |
| Install client | Yes | No |
Fanmu is not a plugin and does not need DanDanPlay running on your PC. It stands on its own: video from your drive, danmaku from the web.
Not in v1
Present in DanDanPlay, not here yet:
- BT download / RSS
- AI subtitles and summaries
- Cast, frame interpolation
- Emby / Jellyfin / Plex (WebDAV only for now)
The main path first: mount → find → play → danmaku → progress.
