Decent IPTV apps for MacOS? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hey all. I'm currently trialling out IPTV providers, and one of the things that's putting me off entirely is the lack of decent Mac apps, specifically ones that allow for Xtream logins and not only m3u.

The provider I'm testing out suggested Smarters Lite from the iPad store – it runs fine, but it fullscreens with black borders down the sides.

Aside from that, I've tried IPTVnator (FOSS, so that's great) but doesn't actually display the content.

The only thing that works great for individual channel viewing is using Stremio with an add-on, but there's no EPG interface there, so no channel hopping and other features.

Any suggestions?

ETA: compatibility with Apple Silicon (M1/M2) chips would be vital too.

Are you able to set up a jellyfin server on your device? If so there's an xtream plugin on GitHub from a custom repository. https://github.com/Kevinjil/Jellyfin.Xtream

Jellyfin should be able to handle m3u fine natively iirc.

A rare find while lurking Lemmy on my alt. I appreciate that you recommend it, as people using your work is the best reward for such a FOSS project. You even made me create a Lemmy account on my real nickname ;)

Oh hey there haha. While I haven't needed anything that handles those kinds of streams, I appreciate the work you have put on to extend the functionality of Jellyfin even just a little bit. I love seeing the support and community around JF and hope that, some day, it is able to fully replace Plex as my main media server.
