- Three provider types: M3U playlists, Xtream Codes panels, and Stalker/Ministra portals (MAC-based auth) — all normalized into one unified Live TV / VOD experience.
- Live TV: channel search, group/category filtering with a switchable list-or-category-browse layout, EPG with "watch from start" catch-up, channel-number zapping.
- Movies & Series: category browsing, portal-wide search, resume/continue-watching, auto-advance to the next episode, season/episode navigation.
- Multiple playback engines: native HTML5 video with HLS.js/mpegts.js, an embedded mpv fallback for containers the browser can't demux (e.g. MKV/HEVC), and launching external mpv/VLC.
- Downloads: save VOD content locally for offline viewing.
- Favorites & watch history, a default-playlist launch option, dark/light/system theming, and support for 19 languages.
Prebuilt installers are published on the Releases page for every tagged version.

External playback via mpv/VLC (if installed) works on every platform regardless of the table above — only the embedded in-app player has these constraints.
Embedded playback on Linux and macOS is new and builds clean in CI, but hasn't yet been extensively verified on real hardware — if something looks off there (video not appearing, overlay controls not clickable), please open an issue.
- Node.js 18+
- Rust (stable toolchain, 1.77+)
- Platform build tools for Tauri (on Windows: MSVC Build Tools + WebView2)
npm install
npm run tauri devnpm run tauri buildAlways build through the Tauri CLI (npm run tauri build), not cargo build --release directly — the Rust build alone skips the frontend build step (npm run build) that tauri.conf.json's beforeBuildCommand normally runs, producing a binary with no frontend to load.
- Frontend: SvelteKit + Svelte 5 (runes), TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
- Backend: Rust, Tauri 2, SQLite (via
r2d2/rusqlite, WAL mode),reqwest,axum(local stream proxy) - Playback: HLS.js, mpegts.js, embedded
