## What is CarStream?

CarStream turns media sources you already have into one private library worth browsing.

Add an M3U or M3U8 playlist, an Xtream portal, or your own Jellyfin or Emby server. CarStream brings everything into a single searchable library with posters, programme information and favourites.

CarStream provides no content. It ships with no channels, playlists, catalogue or discovery service. Everything you watch comes from a source you add yourself. You are responsible for having the legal right to access it.

WHAT IT PLAYS
• M3U and M3U8 playlists, added by URL, pasted content or QR code
• Xtream portals for live channels, films and series
• Jellyfin and Emby servers, including libraries on your local network
• XMLTV programme guides matched to your channels

BUILT FOR LARGE LIBRARIES
• Fast search across every source
• Background stream checks that flag unavailable items
• Preview images captured from the streams
• Favourites kept together across your sources

PLAYBACK
• Picture in Picture
• Background audio with the screen off
• AirPlay to compatible displays
• Full-screen controls and a mini player that follows you through the app
• VLC-powered support for a wide range of stream formats

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
There is no CarStream account and no CarStream server. Your library, provider credentials and viewing activity are not sent to us. Credentials stay in the iOS Keychain and are sent only to the provider they belong to. No advertising, analytics or tracking.

CarStream 1.0 is free. It has no in-app purchases or subscriptions.
