NoSignal App
Read full descriptionHide full description
NoSignal is the companion operator app for NoSignal broadcast servers — the self-hosted engine that ingests, monitors and re-streams MPEG-TS / DVB / IPTV channels. If you run a NoSignal daemon, this puts its control room in your pocket. Connect one or more NoSignal instances (production, backup, per-site) and switch between them in a tap. Every screen shows which server you're on, so you always know what you're looking at. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Dashboard — channel health at a glance: error, degraded, healthy, standby and stopped counts, plus live CPU, memory, uptime and output distribution. • Channels — every channel with live input/output bitrate and status, full-text search and status filters; open one for its detailed vital-signs. • Alerts — what's wrong right now: offline channels, stalled video, input loss — with acknowledgement. • HLS — browse your HLS origin playlists and watch channels live in the app, with now/next EPG. • EPG — the live electronic programme guide from each channel's stream, browse your XMLTV catalogue, map channels to guide data, and manage SPTS output. • Scanner — discover multicast streams on an interface. • Telemetry & Performance — per-channel metrics and system gauges with history. • Consumers — see who's pulling each stream. • Logs & Diagnostics — the daemon's event log and network/host health. • Sessions & Settings — manage your devices, instances and server configuration. Live by default: the app streams updates over SSE where the daemon supports it and falls back to polling, so what you see matches the rack. REQUIREMENTS NoSignal is an operator tool for an existing NoSignal server. You need the URL and credentials for a running NoSignal daemon to use it. It is not a general-purpose IPTV player and ships with no channels of its own. Your server URL and login are stored only on your device (credentials in the iOS Keychain). Nothing is sent to the developer.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NoSignal App at none against PocketServer's 1. PocketServer's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
