XtremFlow - IPTV Application

High-performance IPTV application built with Flutter and the Xtream Codes API, running on Android, iPhone and iPad.

Installation

✅ Live TV with EPG

• Electronic Program Guide (EPG) overlay
• "Now & Next" program display
• Real-time progress bar

✅ VOD & Series

• Movies and Series organized by categories
• Grid layout with posters
• Optimized ratings display (1 decimal place)

✅ Docker Deployment

• Multi-stage build with Flutter and Dart
• Custom Dart Server (bin/server.dart)
• FFmpeg Transcoding for mobile compatibility
• Cache Management system for temporary files
• External network support (nginx_default)

Tech Stack

• Framework: Flutter Web
• State Management: Riverpod
• Local Database: Hive (Web IndexedDB) with AES encryption
• Networking: Dio with cache interceptors
• Routing: GoRouter with auth guards
• Video Player: video_player + chewie
• UI: Google Fonts, Material Design 3

Prerequisites

• Docker & Docker Compose
• Existing nginx_default network (for reverse proxy routing)
• Flutter SDK (for local development only)

Quick Start (Docker)

1. Build the Docker image

docker-compose build

2. Start the container

docker-compose up -d

3. Access via reverse proxy

Configure your reverse proxy (Nginx/Traefik) to route traffic to:

• Container: xtremflow
• Internal Port: 8080
• Network: nginx_default

Example Nginx configuration:

location /iptv {
    proxy_pass http://xtremflow:8080;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
}

4. Login

• URL: http://your-domain/iptv
• Default Credentials:
  • Username: admin
  • Password: admin

⚠️ Change the admin password immediately after first login!

Local Development

Install dependencies

flutter pub get

Generate Hive adapters (if modified)

flutter pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs

Run web app

flutter run -d chrome

Security Features

Password Storage

• Algorithm: SHA-256 with random UUID-based salt
• Format: salt:hash (stored in Hive)
• Legacy Support: Fallback to unsalted comparison for migration

Database Encryption

• Hive AES Cipher (256-bit key)
• Key stored in FlutterSecureStorage
• Automatic key generation on first run

Authentication Flow

1. User enters credentials
2. System retrieves stored hash
3. Input password is hashed with same salt
4. Constant-time comparison prevents timing attacks

Performance Optimizations

Memory Management (20k+ channels)

• Grouping: Channels organized by category
• Pagination: 100 items per page (Live TV), 50 per page (Movies)
• Lazy Loading: Only render visible items
• Image Caching: Disk/memory cache with cached_network_image

Network Optimization

• Dio Cache Interceptor: 1-hour cache for API responses
• EPG Cache: 5-minute refresh for program data
• Hive Disk Store: Persistent cache across sessions

Rendering (60fps Target)

• ListView.builder with fixed itemExtent
• AutomaticKeepAliveClientMixin for tab state
• Expansion panels for category navigation
• Grid with fixed crossAxisCount and childAspectRatio

Xtream API Integration

Endpoint	Purpose	Caching
player_api.php	Authentication	1 hour
get_live_streams	Live TV channels	1 hour
get_vod_streams	Movies	1 hour
get_series	Series	1 hour
get_short_epg	EPG data	5 minutes

Stream URL Formats

// Live TV
http://[dns]/live/[username]/[password]/[stream_id].m3u8

// Movies
http://[dns]/movie/[username]/[password]/[stream_id].[container_extension]

// Series
http://[dns]/series/[username]/[password]/[stream_id].[container_extension]

Docker Configuration

Dockerfile (Multi-Stage)

Stage 1: Builder

• Base: cirrusci/flutter:stable
• Build: flutter build web --release --web-renderer html

Stage 2: Runtime

• Base: dart:stable
• Server: dhttpd --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080
• Size: ~150MB (compressed)

docker-compose.yml

services:
  iptv-web:
    build: .
    container_name: xtremflow
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      - nginx_default

networks:
  nginx_default:
    external: true

No port mapping - Access via reverse proxy only.

Troubleshooting

Container won't start

# Check logs
docker logs xtremflow

# Verify network exists
docker network ls | grep nginx_default

# Create network if missing
docker network create nginx_default

Login fails with admin/admin

• Check Hive database initialization in logs
• Verify HiveService.init() completed successfully
• Default admin is seeded only if users box is empty

EPG not displaying

• EPG is optional and gracefully degrades
• Check if Xtream server supports get_short_epg
• Verify stream has epg_channel_id

Performance issues (FPS drops)

• Reduce _itemsPerPage constant (currently 100 for Live TV)
• Disable image caching temporarily
• Check browser DevTools Performance tab
