Dashbox is a small yt-dlp-powered media streaming service for Kodi and TVBox.
It lets you describe video sources once, then exposes them as client-ready
Kodi endpoints and TVBox subscriptions. Playback is resolved on the server with
yt-dlp, so clients can browse sources, open details, search, and play videos
through a local Dashbox service.
