Dispatcharr is a self-hosted IPTV stream proxy, electronic program guide manager, and DVR server that consolidates multiple M3U playlists and Xtream Codes providers into a unified live television and video-on-demand hub. Through its web dashboard, you can import and filter thousands of channels from unlimited upstream sources, automatically match XMLTV or Schedules Direct guide data to your lineup, and organize movies and series enriched with IMDb and TMDB metadata. The proxy streaming engine shares a single upstream provider connection across multiple local clients, switches seamlessly to backup stream URLs when buffering or drops occur, and routes backend traffic through FFmpeg, VLC, or Streamlink profiles with custom fMP4 or MPEG-TS output transcoding. To integrate with home media servers, Dispatcharr exports curated lineups as M3U playlists, XMLTV feeds, Xtream Codes API endpoints, or emulated HDHomeRun network tuners that Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, and Channels DVR discover automatically, while also offering a built-in DVR with series recording rules, Comskip commercial stripping, and timeshift catch-up playback. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
