Your services in one place
Organise your own Live TV, movies and series in a local catalogue. Browse one service or all services and use up to five saved accounts. Import authorised M3U/HLS playlists with stream testing, then attach XMLTV separately without retesting. The player supplies no channels or subscriptions.
Find the right title quickly
Combine service, category, title/people/description search, language tags and individual genres. Comedy finds a title labelled Comedy/Action/Horror. Clear selections easily; sort by imported date, release date, rating, name or category. Lists load in batches, with list/card views and hidden-category controls.
New releases that mean something
New releases tracks additions to your catalogue across media types and categories, subject to your chosen filters. Released means the programme date; Imported means when it entered your catalogue. Last week/month run through now; Last year starts on 1 January of the previous year. Favourite episodes can be shown separately.
A personal player for each USER
Up to five player profiles keep favourites, Watch later, notes, ratings, watched marks, resume/history and email preferences separate while sharing the catalogue and completed media. USER is the person using the player, not the provider login. Switch profiles before watching; viewing keeps progress with the person who started it.
Pick up where you left off
Recently watched combines Live TV, movies and episodes, newest first, with service and type filtering. Movies/episodes resume from saved progress; watched marks help organise seasons. Favourite a show to follow it, save another to Watch later, and give thumbs ratings independently. Selective history cleanup lets you review what to clear.
Take your history travelling
Export one USER and service, then import into the laptop's compatible account. The server URL must match, but its IPTV login can differ. Bring watched progress home the same way, or Copy between users locally. Imports combine records, keep newest resume and avoid duplicates; missing titles wait for matching catalogue metadata. Credentials and media are excluded.
Receive accounts without exposing details
Create a one-time setup link in Manage services for someone to supply one account. Links expire after 72 hours; delivery is encrypted for your player. Refresh manually or receive a startup notification, then approve Add or a compatible Merge locally. Keep details private displays the service name, with no customer reveal shortcut. This is screen privacy, not immunity to technical inspection.
Control updates and keep history
Catalogue updates are manual, with progress and Cancel. Load channel/movie indexes and series names; episodes load when selected. Update checks favourite series from all USER profiles once per distinct show. Compatible account merges retain catalogue and personal history. At five services, confirmed Delete and replace removes the old catalogue/history and schedules. Catalogue cleanup also finds orphan services.
Playback suited to your preferences
Choose preferred audio and subtitle languages; the player selects from tracks actually present. Use volume, mute, seeking where supported, full screen and separate Live/movie-series startup buffers. Saved XMLTV guides add current/upcoming programmes. Trailers use supplied usable links and open separately.
Watch offline and record responsibly
Queue movie/episode downloads with progress, speed and estimated time, then play completed files offline. Record Live TV now or schedule Once/Daily/Weekly. Continue watching the same recording through Live view using one incoming provider stream, or choose another available IPTV account. The bottom-right Live view button reopens its live picture; closing the viewer keeps capture running. Scheduled conflicts give a one-minute warning and viewing choices; no answer starts recording automatically. Other shows and catalogue updates on the recording account are blocked, while other accounts remain usable. Stop and save retains captured media.
New-show emails you can act on
After your catalogue update, send an illustrated email with artwork, additions and trailer links to the selected USER's configured recipients. Preview content separately from the connection test. Click a movie/episode link to open that exact item in the player; a series link opens its episode chooser. Links need the correct profile, catalogue and activated player.
AI recommendations with your approval
Use your own OpenAI API key, choose movies or series, genre and quantity, and inspect the exact preferences-only prompt before paying for a request. Your available catalogue and IPTV credentials are not sent. Replies are matched locally with verified/alternative/unavailable states. Saved searches reopen without another AI request and retain available cost information.
CSV imports save repetitive work
A favourites CSV turns a spreadsheet list of movie/series titles into bulk favourites after you review matches, choose the service and approve rows; optional reference IDs aid verification. You can stage thumbs ratings too. A separate episode CSV/JSON imports previously viewed marks or percentages. CSV adds no account or media. Use history transfer for a complete home/laptop personal-state round-trip.
Health, privacy and support
Service health explains recorded success/failure counts, response latency and success percentage; opening it reads saved history rather than polling channels. Hide categories, manage adult protection and keep source credentials in private local settings. About shows your version and support links. Try a separate synthetic website/offline demo without an IPTV account. Public installation is through Microsoft Store; trial/purchase activation is separate from IPTV subscriptions.
