The aisles of Tapeside Video: neon-lit racks of rental tapes, ceiling TVs and two customers browsing

Holding a tape in front of the shelf, with its details and a Play button — Pick up a tape

Simple view: the whole library as a grid of posters — Simple view

Three playable arcade cabinets under neon signs — Playable arcade

Your library, on the racks

Works with your own Plex or Jellyfin server, or both at once. Every title gets a box on the shelf, sorted A to Z.

Pick it up, press play

Grab a box off the shelf, watch the tape slide out and play it with a full player: 4K, HDR10 and Dolby Vision on Apple TV, MKV files played as they are, audio and subtitle tracks, chapters and skip intro.

Made for movie night

Chat with the staff, make popcorn and play three arcade cabinets while you choose. In December the store dresses up for Christmas. Why I made this.

Or keep it simple

Switch to a plain poster view any time when you just want to find something fast.

Free to start, buy once
