before you download.
Does it come with channels?
No. source is a player. Bring a playlist from your provider: an Xtream login or an M3U link.
Will it work with my provider?
If they gave you a server, a username and a password (Xtream Codes), or an M3U / M3U8 link, yes.
Can I add more than one provider?
Yes. Add as many as you have. They sit side by side, and search covers all of them.
Is there a TV guide?
Yes. It reads your provider's EPG, or any XMLTV link you add.
Can I watch on my TV?
Cast to a Chromecast or an AirPlay TV. Formats the TV can't play get converted on the way.
What about files I already have?
Add a folder or a NAS share. Files become titles with artwork, and episodes fold into shows.
Is it really free?
Yes. No account, no ads. Updates show up inside the app.
TiviMate, IPTV Smarters, or source?
TiviMate and IPTV Smarters are built TV-first. source is built for a computer: a mouse, a keyboard, a big screen, and picture-in-picture while you work. If you use one of them on your TV, source is the one for your desk.
What do I need?
Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), or macOS 11 or later on Apple Silicon.
Does it work on Intel Macs?
Not yet. The Mac version is for Apple Silicon (M1 and later).
bring a playlist. press play.
Free for Windows and Mac. source never comes with channels, and never will.
# note — source ships no channels. Not even the boring ones. The channels, logos and schedules here are made up; the films are public domain, and the football footage and photo are from the US Navy. The still in 03.3 is a frame of Meridian by Netflix, converted from HDR, under CC BY 4.0. TiviMate and IPTV Smarters are trademarks of their owners; source is an independent project, not affiliated with either.
