Dispatcharr is a self-hosted IPTV and streaming management platform built for people who want full control over their playlists, streams, and program guide (EPG) data. It lets you import M3U/EPG sources, curate and organize them with filtering and grouping, and serve them reliably to clients like Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby with advanced proxying and failover support. Designed with both simple personal use and larger self-hosted setups in mind, Dispatcharr offers real-time streaming statistics, automated EPG matching, and a responsive interface that helps you manage your video on demand (VOD) content alongside live channels. ...

...The repository’s structure makes it easy to consume at different granularities: you can grab a global list, a country-specific list, or a themed list such as news, sports, or kids. Validation scripts and contributor guidelines help keep dead links and geo-restricted sources under control, improving reliability over time. The project is popular with hobbyists and integrators alike because the playlists work with most media players, set-top boxes, and home media servers that support M3U. It also documents best practices for respectful use, emphasizing that stream availability can change and that users should comply with local laws and the channels’ terms of service.
