Add a playlist or portal

Everything you watch comes from a source you add. You can add more than one, and the app keeps them apart. The first one is usually added during first-time setup; this is the route for every one after that.

1. Open Sources and choose Add source

In the left navigation open Sources, then choose Add source. Pick the kind that matches what your source gave you:

• Playlist URL, a link to an M3U or M3U+ list. The app detects whether the link is a plain playlist or the playlist export of a provider login, and imports it either way.
• Upload M3U, a file already on this PC. It is encrypted on this device before it leaves it.
• Xtream Codes, for a provider login: a server address, a username and a password you were given in place of a playlist file. Type them into Server URL, Username and Password. The app signs in to that server with them and builds the live channels, movies, series and program guide from what it returns.
• Stalker, a portal that signs in with a Portal URL and a MAC address.

Give the source a Display name so you can tell your sources apart later. Source types the app accepts compares what each kind asks for and what each one can bring.

2. Pull the library onto this device

For a provider login or a Stalker portal, open the source and choose Sync portal library. This caches its live TV, movies and series on this PC so browsing is fast. Channels are sorted into their groups for you as they come in.

3. Keep it up to date

Open the source settings and set Playlist update: Auto update, Every X hours, or Manual. Refresh now on a source, or Refresh all in the toolbar, updates it on demand.

Where credentials are kept

Portal credentials are stored encrypted. To change them later, choose Edit on the source and type new ones; leave both fields blank to keep what is stored. The address cannot be changed. To point at a different server, add a new source.

Your free plan includes one playlist. What your plan includes covers the rest.
