# Weave Radio

> Every station, show, and podcast you follow, playing in the same app that holds your own library.

Weave Radio is one face of the Weave family from Epiphani Studios. Weave Player plays the films
and shows you own, Weave FM plays your own music, and Weave Radio holds the streaming services
and stations you already listen to. All three are the same application and are covered by a
single one-time purchase, sold as Weave Player.

## Price
Weave Player: $34.99, one-time, in United States dollars, sold by Epiphani Studios LLC
through Polar as merchant of record. One purchase covers one household and every Apple device it
owns (Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV), and everyone who lives there. There is no subscription and no renewal.

## Runs on
Macs with macOS 15 or later, iPhone and iPad with iOS 17 or later, and Apple TV with tvOS 17 or later. One app on each device: the Mac indexes and serves the library; the iPhone, iPad, and
Apple TV apps read it. Verify the current Mac version and its minimum macOS: https://updates.belstone.com/weave-player/appcast.json

## Formats
Containers: MKV, AVI, MP4, TS, and VOB. Video: H.264, HEVC, VC-1, and AV1. Audio: DTS, TrueHD, FLAC,
ALAC, WAV, AIFF, MP3, AAC, and Opus. Subtitles: tracks inside the file and subtitle files beside it.
Engine: libmpv on FFmpeg, decoding in hardware through VideoToolbox on Apple silicon.

## How a film reaches a screen
The Mac serves each file over HTTP with range requests, so any device seeks straight to any point.
Devices on the same network find the Mac through Bonjour. An Epiphani account signs the Apple TV in
with a short device code and keeps each person's place in a film across every device in the house.

## On the Mac
Double-click a film and it opens in its own Weave Player window, first frame in about eight tenths of a second on a MacBook Pro, with the library left asleep. Weave is listed under Open With.

## What it does
- Your services, in one window: Channels holds each service as its own tile, signed in independently, so the app you open is the last one you need.
- Kept properly apart: Each tile is isolated with its own session and its own storage, so one service does not read another's.
- Beside what you own: The same window holds your own films, shows, and music, so streaming and owning are one shelf rather than two apps.
- Arrange it your way: Drag the tiles into the order you actually use them and the rail keeps it.
- On the television: The Apple TV app opens the same set on the largest screen in the house.
- One search: Search runs across the library from the same field at the top of the rail.
- Everyone keeps their own: Per member profiles mean your arrangement and your history stay yours on a shared machine.
- The same app plays your files: Weave Player and Weave FM are the same app's other two faces, covered by the same purchase.

## Where the library lives
On the owner's own machines. The Mac application indexes the folders it is pointed at and serves
them over the household's own network using Bonjour discovery, so playback comes from the copy the
household already owns.
