Download Stream player
Stream Player provides a Windows desktop environment for playing IPTV streams and adaptive manifests. It handles M3U playlists, HLS and DASH formats, custom HTTP headers, and DRM license configuration. Users can save stream profiles, review playback history, and manage remote or local playlists. The player modal displays Shaka errors and supports fullscreen layouts. Theme options and muted playback preferences are stored locally for consistent sessions.
The program focuses on stream playback configuration rather than general media library management. It parses Kodi-style metadata, including ClearKey DRM and header blocks, from M3U files. Remote playlist URLs and local playlist files are supported with separate library sections. A workspace for direct URL input includes format detection and manual overrides. The interface uses a sidebar navigation with card-based layouts and toast notifications.
Stream Player targets users who need precise control over stream requests and DRM parameters. It supports Widevine and PlayReady license servers, certificate URLs, and advanced Shaka Player overrides. Playback history and saved profiles reduce repeated setup for frequent streams. The application is distributed as a desktop program for Windows, with source code available for review and modification.
