Connect a source

Xtream-compatible provider

Import a direct provider account and browse its saved channels, movies and series.

Applies to 0.74 development preview; capture versions are stated below each illustration · English guide

What you need

Use the provider base address and your own account credentials. A playlist URL with a full query is a different source type.

Login, catalogue download and actual video delivery are separate operations. Address aliases can behave differently; use the address supplied by your provider.

Your provider controls connection slots, archive access, metadata and stream formats. A large local catalogue does not create extra streaming capacity.

Set up the source

  1. Choose Xtream in source setup. Enter the complete http or https base address, username and password.
  2. Select the content areas before checking and saving the source.
  3. Wait for each selected import step to complete. If a step fails, inspect its error details and retry it; partial counters are not a final library size.
  4. After setup, enable or hide categories in Settings. Open the library to browse the locally saved cards.

Capabilities and limits

  • Configure the device network or VPN according to your provider and local requirements. TiviNerd is a player, not a VPN client.
  • Posters and optional details may still need the network after the catalogue is saved.
  • Editing an existing verified account is different from adding another account. Keep account changes deliberate, especially with child profiles.
