What is this?
A native Windows media aggregation and streaming client: it pulls film and TV streams from TVBox/CatVod-style sources and plays them with 4K hardware acceleration in a WinUI 3 Fluent interface.

You import TVBox/CatVod subscription and site configs yourself, or authorize your own cloud-drive accounts.

You only need Windows 10 (build 17763 or newer) or Windows 11 64-bit.

Streams come from third-party public sources you configure yourself, and the developers take no liability for their validity, legality, accuracy, or availability.

Cross-source aggregate search then queries all active subscription sites concurrently, with multi-level category filters.

In Settings you can instead point to your own external mpv.exe to use your mpv.conf, shaders like Anime4K or FSRCNNX, custom keybindings, and Lua scripts.
