Hey all. I'm currently trialling out IPTV providers, and one of the things that's putting me off entirely is the lack of decent Mac apps, specifically ones that allow for Xtream logins and not only m3u.

The provider I'm testing out suggested Smarters Lite from the iPad store – it runs fine, but it fullscreens with black borders down the sides.

Aside from that, I've tried IPTVnator (FOSS, so that's great) but doesn't actually display the content.

The only thing that works great for individual channel viewing is using Stremio with an add-on, but there's no EPG interface there, so no channel hopping and other features.

Any suggestions?

ETA: compatibility with Apple Silicon (M1/M2) chips would be vital too.

Yeah it's incredibly easy and you don't even notice. Can use the activity monitor to check whether it's running natively or through that translation layer, and often you wouldn't even realise. Maybe this Kodi addon would work then, given Rosetta, I don't know. But I'm not the biggest fan of Kodi tbh. Presently I have the service running through Jellyfin and that's great, so would probably not bother with Kodi now.
