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 project has evolved from a personal tool to a collaborative open-source effort with beta-phase features including a dashboard, flexible proxy engine, and compatibility with multiple output formats. With extensible plugin support and frequent contributions, Dispatcharr aims to unify and simplify IPTV workflows while staying entirely self-hosted.
