AdGuard Home vs Scrypted: at a glance
What is AdGuard Home?
AdGuard Home's 1.0 beta matches stable's security fixes and reworks client settings
AdGuard Home v0.107.80 is a security release on the stable line: a Go update for the 1.27.3 fixes, Multipath TCP disabled for CVE-2026-98432 and macOS 13 dropped. The beta channel moved to the new UI and v1.0.0 numbering at the end of September; v1.0.0-b.2 on November 5 carries the same security changes, splits per-client global settings so blocked services have their own switch, and fixes a run of DHCP and client ID validation bugs.
What is Scrypted?
Scrypted's v0.147.0 pairs RTSP compliance fixes with two web-server security patches.
Scrypted is a self-hosted home video and NVR platform. After a ten-month gap, v0.145.0 and v0.147.0 landed eleven days apart in September. v0.147.0 fixes RTSP parser compliance, an engine.io routing vulnerability and an Express sendFile relative-path issue, and moves plugins to a rollup build.

AdGuard Home's 1.0 beta matches stable's security fixes and reworks client settings
◆ Current state
AdGuard Home v0.107.80 is a security release on the stable line: a Go update for the 1.27.3 fixes, Multipath TCP disabled for CVE-2026-98432 and macOS 13 dropped. The beta channel moved to the new UI and v1.0.0 numbering at the end of September; v1.0.0-b.2 on November 5 carries the same security changes, splits per-client global settings so blocked services have their own switch, and fixes a run of DHCP and client ID validation bugs.
◆ Where it's heading
The two lines are now patched in step on security, while the 1.0 beta absorbs UI corrections and validation fixes ahead of a stable switch. The beta fixes are mostly about settings that did not save or validate correctly, which is the cleanup a new UI needs before it replaces the old one.
◆ Prediction
Expect more 1.0 betas fixing settings and validation in the new UI; the entries give no date for 1.0 stable.
Scrypted
0.0INFRA · APIS
Scrypted's v0.147.0 pairs RTSP compliance fixes with two web-server security patches.
◆ Current state
Scrypted is a self-hosted home video and NVR platform. After a ten-month gap, v0.145.0 and v0.147.0 landed eleven days apart in September. v0.147.0 fixes RTSP parser compliance, an engine.io routing vulnerability and an Express sendFile relative-path issue, and moves plugins to a rollup build.
◆ Where it's heading
Visible activity is maintenance and security rather than features: type-safety refactors, dependency updates and server hardening. The last user-facing camera feature in these entries was Amcrest text overlay support in May 2025.
◆ Prediction
Expect sporadic point releases with dependency and security fixes; the entries give no sign of a feature push.
