# Development Status

> See the current development status, project focus, contribution opportunities, and the public roadmap for the CinePro Core streaming backend.

<Card title="Current Project Status" type="warning" href="https://github.com/cinepro-org/core/issues/68">
  CinePro/Core is undergoing a rewrite. None of the functionalities are promised to work.

  ETA to finish: N/A. Please do not open PR's or Issues. See the latest news here: [https://github.com/cinepro-org/core/issues/68](https://github.com/cinepro-org/core/issues/68)

## Where the project stands

CinePro Core is the TypeScript, OMSS‑compliant backend at [`cinepro-org/core`](https://github.com/cinepro-org/core) — the active foundation for the entire CinePro ecosystem. The original JavaScript backend at [`cinepro-org/backend`](https://github.com/cinepro-org/backend) is **archived** and kept for historical reference only.

CinePro is a modular, high‑performance movie and TV scraper that does **not** host any media itself and is intended for **personal and home use only**. The project is maintained by a small team — and that's exactly why we need you.

<Warning>
  Production or commercial deployments are **not supported**. CinePro Core and the example frontend are intended for experimentation, learning, and home‑lab usage.
</Warning>

## Current focus areas

### 1. Provider coverage & quality

CinePro Core ships with multiple providers under `src/providers`, but coverage and stability are continuously evolving. This is one of the **highest-impact areas for new contributors**.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Stabilize existing providers" icon="wrench">
    Fix edge cases, improve error handling, and ensure providers degrade gracefully when a source goes offline.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add new providers" icon="plug">
    Expand the set of supported sources to increase availability and redundancy for movies and TV shows.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### 2. CineHome integration

Beyond the streaming backend, it is planned that CinePro/core also powers **CineHome** — a service for automating downloads to a NAS or similar device. This has not been started yet, but will be a major focus in the coming months. CineHome will be a separate repository, but close integration with Core will be essential.

## We need contributors — and that means you

CinePro is a small team maintaining a growing ecosystem. There's plenty of meaningful work available at every skill level — whether you write code, test things, or just improve docs.
