CLUSTER CROSS-PLAYER-STREAMING · 19 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-12-21

Cross-platform media streaming players

This cluster consists of cross-platform media players and streaming applications that handle video, audio, IPTV, and addon-based content from local, network, and streaming sources. The dated history shows sparse, sporadic entries from 2009-2016, a gap, then a few entries in 2023-2024 and again in late 2025 and mid-2026, with no clear trend. Traction is led by scenebox (77 stars), followed by JAVP (1 star) and m3u-tv-bin (0 stars).

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
