Everything works for 7 days without a code. Your playlist, favourites and settings survive activation, so there is nothing to set up twice.

No release is published yet. This page is where the installer will be, and the button below turns into an ordinary link the moment there is one.

What it needs

SystemWindows 10 or 11, 64-bit
DiskAbout 400 MB installed — most of it the decoder
GraphicsAny card from the last decade. Decoding runs in hardware where the machine offers it and in software where it does not, so nothing is ever a black picture because a driver was fussy.
Your subscriptionAn Xtream account or an M3U address from your own provider. Vortex Player has no channels of its own.

What is in it

The applicationCatalogue, guide, player and settings
mpvThe decoder, run as a separate program. It is somebody else’s work under somebody else’s licence, and both the licence and a note saying which install alongside it.

Why the televisions can follow quickly

The parsing, the catalogue, the guide matching and the sorting are already written to run without a browser or a desktop underneath them — which is the part that usually has to be done again for every platform.
