# Catalog

> Manage movies, TV shows, genres, metadata, and content sources — including managed addon sources.

**Catalog** (`/admin/catalog`) is the hub for your streaming library. Related routes:

| Route                                       | Purpose                                                    |

## Operator workflow

1. Add or import a title.
2. Attach metadata (optional `TMDB_API_TOKEN`; bulk hydrate via `pnpm run sync:tmdb` on a laptop/CI).
3. Attach **content sources** on the title (see kinds below).
4. For managed CDN vendors, install the matching [addon](/admin-dashboard/addons) (+ plugin API if needed).
5. Confirm the title on the storefront (`/title/[slug]`).

## Content source kinds

Catalog Sources UI kinds (`lib/streamly/content-source-kinds.ts`):

| `dash`              | DASH (MPD)                                                                                  |
| `mp4` / `webm`      | Direct files                                                                                |
| `embed`             | Embedded player                                                                             |
| `youtube` / `vimeo` | Hosted embeds                                                                               |

| `managed`           | **Managed CDN** — pairs with installed addons (Mux, Bunny, Cloudflare Stream, VdoCipher, …) |

Discover/TMDB embed addons (VidSrc, Videasy, …) stay separate from these per-title source rows — install them under Addons, then use them according to that pack’s attach flow.

Homepage sections and collections are part of the catalog data model (migration `002` and APIs under `/api/v1`).
