IPTVnator is a cross-platform, open-source IPTV player application built with Electron and Angular that plays m3u/m3u8 playlists, Xtream Codes, and Stalker portal streams. It supports XMLTV-based EPG, favorites, catchup/TV archive, external players, and is also available as a PWA.

Use cases

  • play m3u and m3u8 IPTV playlists on my desktop
  • watch IPTV channels with an electronic program guide
  • connect to an Xtream Codes provider for live TV and VOD
  • import playlists from a URL or local file and manage favorites
  • open streams in VLC or MPV from an IPTV app
  • self-host a browser-based IPTV player as a PWA
  • catch up on TV archive streams

When to choose

  • you need a free, privacy-first IPTV player on macOS, Windows, or Linux
  • you want EPG, favorites, catchup, and multi-playlist management in one app
  • you prefer a PWA or self-hosted web player without installing a desktop app

When to avoid

  • you expect the app to provide channels or playlists - it only plays content you supply
  • you need DRM-protected or paid streaming service playback
  • you want a mobile-native app rather than desktop or PWA
