About this app
SkyStream is a modern, media streaming client. It draws inspiration from the versatile architecture of CloudStream but implements a custom, cross-platform JavaScript engine for extensions, enabling support for Android, iOS, and Desktop from a single codebase.
✨ Key Features
- 📺 Extensions System Install custom JavaScript plugins to scrape & stream content from any source.
- 📂 Direct Playback Instant zero-copy playback for local files (MP4/MKV) and torrents/magnet links.
- 🔗 Network Streams Play arbitrary video URLs (M3U8, MP4) directly from settings.
- ⏱️ Smart History "Continue Watching" across all media types with robust progress tracking.
- ⚡ Performance Optimized for 90Hz/120Hz displays, ensuring a buttery smooth experience.
- 🎨 Modern UI Material 3 Design, Dynamic Colors, and responsive layouts for Phones, Tablets, and Desktop.
⚠️ Warning: By default, this app doesn't provide any video sources; you have to install extensions to add functionality to the app.
ℹ️ Note: This project is an independent application built with Flutter. While it supports similar extension formats, it is a simplified, modern re-imagining and is not a direct clone or fork of the official client.
FAQ
- How do I install extensions? SkyStream uses '.sky' or '.js' extension files. You can install them by navigating to Settings > Extensions > Add Repository and entering a repository URL (e.g., using a shortcode).
- Where is the media stored? SkyStream is a streaming client and does not host any content. All media is streamed directly from the third-party extensions you install.
