The IPTV player that organizes your subscription like a video library.
Free IPTV player for Windows and Linux, works with Xtream and M3U.
Posters instead of endless lists, a search that actually finds things, and playback that picks up where you left off. Enter your login details once, and never think about them again.

A player, nothing else
SF IPTV is a free IPTV player for Windows and Linux: it shows the catalog of an Xtream or M3U subscription you already have, without providing any content. It comes empty, and that’s on purpose. The app sells nothing and provides nothing: it presents what you already have access to. Your list is kept on your PC: it is only downloaded again when you decide, and it opens without waiting for the server.
Posters come first. Search, resume and favorites are where you’d look for them, and nowhere else.
What it isn’t
- No channels, movies or subscription included. You bring your own.
- No account to create, no data sent anywhere.
- No exotic player: video plays through VLC, inside the app window or in its own.
What the app does for you
Your whole catalog, organized
Movies, series and channels are fetched and sorted automatically. The list refreshes when you choose: at startup, every day, every week or every month.
Titles you can finally read
No more endless names or the same movie three times over. A series’ episodes are grouped together, season by season.
A TV guide
Your channels in a grid, hour by hour. What’s on now, what’s next, and a program’s summary in one click.
A search that finds
Three letters are enough. The movie, series or channel shows up right away, wherever it’s filed.
Your channels within reach
Star your favorite channels and Live opens straight on them, without hunting through thousands.
Picks up where you left off
Every movie and every episode keeps its position. Reopen the app and you land exactly where you stopped.
A parental code
Adult content stays hidden. Protect it with a code: it must be entered to show that content, which hides itself again at every launch.
Set up in a minute
You enter your login details just once. After that, the app lets you know when your subscription is about to expire.
A built-in player, VLC alongside
Video plays inside the app window, with your choice of audio language and subtitles. And “Play with VLC” is one click away. Everything plays as is, with no conversion and no settings to hunt for.
A few screens
Home opens on what you’re currently watching.
Download
A single file to download, for Windows 10 and 11. Installation takes less than a minute, and updates then install in one click, from the settings.
Already on v0.2.0 or an older version?
The automatic update to v0.3.3 fails with a signature error: that’s expected, the signing key has changed. Download the installer above and run it over your current installation, just this once.
Nothing is lost: your catalog, resume points and favorites are kept, and later updates are automatic again.
On Linux
Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Kali: the .deb package installs VLC and the keyring along with it, in a single command.
sudo apt install ./SF.IPTV_0.3.3_amd64.debOther distributions: the AppImage, with VLC installed beforehand.

On first launch
Windows may show a blue “Windows protected your PC” window. It’s the usual message for a recent app that few people have installed yet; it is not a virus.
Click More info, then Run anyway.
Would you rather check than take our word for it? The published file has been scanned by around sixty antivirus engines, and the result is public. Almost all of them find nothing; sometimes one or two raise an automated alert, of the same kind as Windows’.
See the VirusTotal reportQuestions
Where are the movies and channels?
Nowhere in the app: SF IPTV is a player, not a provider. You enter the details of the subscription you already have once, and it shows everything that subscription gives you access to.
Which IPTV subscriptions are supported?
The two common formats: an Xtream panel (server address, username and password) or an M3U playlist link. You enter it just once, in the app’s settings.
Windows says “Windows protected your PC”. Is it a virus?
No. Windows is wary by default of recent apps it doesn’t know yet, until enough people have installed them. Click “More info”, then “Run anyway”. And for confirmation that doesn’t come from us, the file is publicly scanned by around sixty antivirus engines: almost all of them find nothing. Sometimes one or two show an automated alert, just as Windows does on first launch.
See the VirusTotal reportDoes the video play inside the app?
Yes. On Windows, video plays in the app window, with pause, seek, volume, audio language and subtitle choice, and full screen. On Linux, this built-in player exists but is still experimental: VLC is the default there. Everywhere, “Play with VLC” opens the video in its own window, at the same position.
Does SF IPTV work on Linux?
Yes, on any recent 64-bit distribution. The .deb package (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint) installs VLC with it; the AppImage runs anywhere, with VLC installed separately. The AppImage updates itself, as on Windows; the .deb updates by installing the next one.
How is it different from VLC alone?
VLC plays an IPTV playlist as a long list of links. SF IPTV organizes it: movies and series as posters, episodes by season, search, a TV guide, favorites and resume. For the video itself it relies on VLC, so playback quality is the same.
Is my password safe?
Yes. It’s stored in the system’s vault, the one in Windows or the Linux keyring, where the system keeps its own passwords. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Is it really free?
Yes. No account, no subscription, no ads. If the app is useful to you, you can support the project. It’s entirely optional, and always appreciated.
