Catchup (timeshift)

hours (1–168). The ⟲ badge marks channels where the provider offers catchup. Providers frequently under-report depth (Strong8K says 3h but real is ~68h), so we render a generous window by default; out-of-archive clicks fall back to a toast.

Default Hide. Blur and Show require a PIN configured below; the unlock cookie expires after 30 minutes.

Live rewind (timeshift buffer)

Opens a second upstream connection per watched channel to record a rolling HLS buffer. If your provider caps concurrent streams, enabling this may disrupt playback. Default off.

Encoder Settings

Hardware Encoder Select which GPU encoder to use for transcoding. Auto will use the best available.
Max Resolution Limit transcoded output resolution. Lower = faster, more compatible.
Quality Preset Higher quality uses more bandwidth and CPU/GPU.
Audio Mix Preset How multi-channel audio (5.1/7.1) is mixed down to stereo for browser playback.

Upscaling

Enable Upscaling Upscale lower-resolution content to a higher resolution during transcoding.

Stream Processing

Auto Transcode (Smart) Automatically detect stream codecs and only transcode/remux when needed. Adds ~1-3s probe delay on first play.
Trust Browser for Codecs When Auto Transcode is on, first ask the browser if it can actually play the stream (HEVC, AV1, etc.) before re-encoding. Recommended on macOS/Safari/Chrome — avoids needless 4K HEVC transcoding. Disable if your browser lies about support.
Force Audio Transcode Transcode audio to AAC for browser compatibility. Enable if you get video but no audio (fixes Dolby/AC3/EAC3).
Force Video Transcode Force full video transcoding (burn-in subtitles, incompatible video). Uses HW encoder.
Force Remux Remux streams to MP4 container. Enable for raw .ts streams from IPTV middleware like m3u-editor or dispatcharr.
Stream Output Format Container format for Xtream streams. Try TS if you experience buffering issues.

HTTP Settings

User-Agent HTTP User-Agent for stream requests. Try VLC if your provider blocks Chrome.

Network

Force Backend Proxy Route all streams through the server to bypass CORS restrictions. Enable if streams don't play directly.
