IPTV Player

About

Turn your browser into a powerful, lightning-fast streaming hub. IPTV Player lets you load, manage, and watch your favorite M3U and M3U8 live playlists instantly without needing heavy third-party desktop apps. 

Built with performance in mind, this extension acts as your own private local media hub—keeping your playlists securely stored inside your browser while bypassing common stream blocks in the background.

 📺 Key Features

* **Universal Link Support:** Seamlessly stream live content from any `.m3u` or `.m3u8` playlist URL or uploaded local file.
* **Bypasses Restrictions:** Uses a background network worker to resolve relative paths and bypass strict CORS headers that usually block network streams in your browser.
* **Instant Playlist Management:** Switch between multiple live playlists with a clean dropdown selector. Add or remove networks instantly.
* **High-Speed Lazy Loading:** Handles massive playlists with thousands of channels without lagging your browser, thanks to an incremental rendering system.
* **Smart Logo Caching:** Smoothly fetches and caches channel logos locally so your dashboard looks polished and loads instantly on every launch.
* **Clean, Modern Interface:** Features a collapse-friendly sidebar for distractions-free viewing, full native playback controls, and a quick live search bar.

🔒 Private & Secure By Design

Your data belongs to you. Unlike web-based players, IPTV Player operates strictly inside your browser environment:
* No external accounts or registration required.
* Your playlist URLs and channel data are saved locally using secure `chrome.storage`.
* Streams are fetched directly from your provider—no third-party servers tracking what you watch.
