Premiumize API key
Premiumize connection test
Read-only: checks the saved key with Premiumize and counts the videos in that account's own cloud. Nothing is changed, and keys and video links are never shown.
Before you save a key
- Use your own Premiumize account. Premiumize's terms do not allow sharing an account, its login details, or its API key with anyone outside your household.
- Your key is used only for your family's accounts. It is never shared with, or visible to, other families.
- Premiumize may object to one account being used from many places at once. Their terms prohibit use "with several IPs in a short time period". The panel has no device limits, so this is up to each key holder.
- How it's protected: the key is encrypted before it is stored, and is never sent back to any browser. Nobody can view it in this panel, including the owner. The owner can only remove it.
- Please know: the person who runs this server has technical access to the computer it runs on. Encryption keeps the key unreadable in the database and its backups, but someone with both the database and the computer's unlock code could decrypt it.
- When someone presses Play, the app looks in your family's own Premiumize cloud (see Video sources) and plays a matching file. It is only used for your own family's accounts.
All families' keys
You can remove any family's key, for example when someone leaves. Keys cannot be viewed.

Bulk publisher
Put many titles in the TV and phone apps at once, or take them out. List as details only shows a title's description and artwork without video and without claiming you own it. Publish with video is for titles you own or are licensed to share. You always see how many titles will change before anything happens, and every job can be undone. Nothing is ever deleted.

Suggestions
Movies and TV shows your family viewers asked for from the TV or phone app. Approve or decline each one and add a reply if you like; they see your answer in their app. Approving doesn't import anything by itself: find the title under Import from TMDB (or Curated additions) when you're ready.

Nothing here.
IPTV Connection
The IPTV servers (DNS addresses) that IPTV-linked accounts sign in through. Only you can see or change these. When someone signs in on the TV, the servers are tried in this order.
| Order | Name | Server address | Status | Accounts | Last test | Actions |
|---|
No IPTV servers yet. Choose Add server and enter the address your IPTV provider gave you.
How the IPTV check works
- Only "Xtream Codes" style servers can be checked. The panel uses the server's own login and account-status check (player_api.php). Test tells you whether a server supports it. Not every provider offers this, and some don't report an expiry date; then only the status they report is used.
- Active unlocks the app. Confirmed expired (or banned/disabled) locks it. When they renew, the next check unlocks it again on its own: when the app opens, every 15 minutes while it's open, every hour here, or Check now on the account.
- A server that's down or not answering never locks anyone. The account keeps its last confirmed status and is marked "not reached" until the server answers again.
- If the provider refuses the login (for example, they changed their IPTV password), the account is locked and asks them to sign in again on the TV. That isn't treated as expired.
- Switching a server off or removing it locks the accounts that use it straight away. Their accounts are kept; they can sign in again through another server.
- IPTV passwords are encrypted, never shown to anyone (including you), and never shared between accounts. Each account is checked on its own, so one person's expiry never affects anyone else.
- This only checks subscriptions. It does not play IPTV channels.
Video sources
Where the app looks for a playable video when someone presses Play, in this order. The app picks the best match for each TV or phone and starts it by itself; the others become "Servers" the viewer can switch to. Any title can be searched, but it only plays when a playable file is found in a source the viewer's family is allowed to use.
Only the owner can change these. You can check how they're working for your family.
| Order | Source | Used by | Status | Timeout | Matches | Health | Actions |
|---|
No video sources are set up.
Deep Source Discovery: add a source
Add another authorized place to look. Logins are encrypted before they are saved and can never be viewed again, by anyone; you can only replace or remove them.
Premiumize tools
For the family chosen above, using that family's own saved key (it never leaves the server). Fair use, the file hosts Premiumize supports, and cloud transfers. Add one web link or magnet link at a time, only for videos you own or are licensed to share (your own productions, public-domain or Creative Commons releases). Magnets are cache-checked first. When a transfer finishes, the file is in your family's cloud and Play finds it automatically (exact movie, season and episode), ranked with your other servers.
| Transfer | Status | Progress | Note |
|---|
How video sources work
- Panel video links: the video link typed into a movie or episode in this panel (the panel still only accepts links on titles where you ticked the rights box).
- Family Premiumize cloud: the files already in each family's own Premiumize cloud, found with that family's own key. One family's files or key are never used for another family. Nothing outside your own cloud is searched.
- Matching is careful: files are matched by title, year and IMDb number, and episodes by exact season and episode. When the catalog has two titles with the same name (for example two "Halloween" films), the file name or its folder must include the year.
- Jellyfin home library: your own Jellyfin server. Create a Jellyfin user just for TBatts that can only see the libraries your family may watch, and use its token here, never the Jellyfin administrator. The server must be reachable from the internet (from this panel and from the TVs). Jellyfin needs that login inside the video address the TV opens, so the TV holds it while playing (it is never shown).
- Internet Archive: only films the Archive marks public domain or Creative Commons are used, and the year must match. No login.
- Stremio add-ons: any add-on that follows the Stremio add-on protocol (its address ends in /manifest.json) and that your family is authorized to use. It is asked by IMDb number for each movie or episode; only direct video links are used, and torrent results are skipped. Nothing is searched until you tick the authorization box. With "Premiumize" on, links Premiumize supports are cache-checked and played through your family's own account.
- Deep matching: every folder and sub-folder is searched; titles are matched by name, other known titles (from TMDB), year, IMDb and TMDB numbers; episodes by exact season and episode (double-episode files count). 4K, 1080p and 720p versions, HDR, audio tracks and subtitle files are recognised; duplicates are removed; sources that failed on a TV recently are ranked lower.
- Matches shows how many Play searches asked that source and how many found something.
- Health shows the last result for the family chosen above. Messages are short and never include keys, links or file names.
- Turning a source off takes effect straight away: choices the app already has from it stop working.
Source Finder
Find every copy of one movie or episode in your authorized sources, then check them 15 at a time: is it working, what format and quality it really is, duplicates, expired links and how fast the server answers. Results go straight into Play's ranking. Nothing is downloaded in full, and nothing outside your own sources is searched.
| Source | File | Quality | Status | Format | Answer time | Notes | Actions |
|---|
No copies found in your sources for this title.
Add a panel link for this title
Another video link for the title or episode chosen above (up to 40 per title). It becomes another server viewers can switch to. Only add videos you own or are licensed to share.
Playback choices
CAM, TS and TC are recordings made in a cinema. Leave this off unless a copy in your own sources is one you are authorized to share. Changes apply to the next Play.
What each status means
- Working: the server answered and the file is a real video. Slow: it answered after more than 3 seconds. New: not checked yet, or the server does not allow quick checks (it is tested when played).
- Broken: missing, not a video (for example a web page), or the source gave no link. Expired: the server refused the link or its expiry time has passed. Duplicate: the same file as another row.
- A panel link that fails two checks in a row is hidden from viewers until it passes a check again. Nothing is ever deleted. Use Hide or Show to change any row yourself.
- Device notes (HEVC, Dolby Vision, TrueHD) are hints. Only playing it on the TV proves it, and the app's failure reports keep adjusting the ranking.
- Which sources find new copies by themselves: your family's Premiumize cloud (whatever is in it), your Jellyfin / Emby library and the Internet Archive (public domain films). Panel links are only what you add here or in the title editor.
Needs a source
Titles your family tried to play when no playable copy was found in your sources. Add the video to your Premiumize cloud or Jellyfin, or add a panel link, then open it in the Source Finder to check it. A title leaves this list by itself the next time it plays.
| Title | Family | Tried | Last tried | Actions |
|---|
Nothing here: every title your family tried had a playable source.
Big Body Music

Big Body Originals
Our own productions: Mack Ave, These Streets, our educational cartoons and everything that comes next. Originals are ordinary titles in the "Big Body Originals" section, so they use the same catalog, player, Skip Intro and family rules. Add artwork, a trailer link, seasons and episodes in the title editor, and give each one a video: a video link (tick the rights box: you own these) or the file in a video source.
| Poster | Title | Type | Status | Video | Skip Intro | Actions |

Home screen banners

Catalog collections
Movies 2010-2023 (8,000), Comedy (1,000), Thriller (1,000), Crime (1,000) and Horror (3,000) add up to distinct movies (14,000 in all): each movie counts once, in the first of these rows that has it, so Comedy adds 1,000 comedies that are not already in the 2010-2023 collection, and so on. A movie is still shown in every category it fits (the app's Comedy, Thriller, Crime and Horror rows also list every movie of that genre). Movies 2010-2023: popular, well-rated English movies released 2010 to 2023 (6.0+ rating, 100+ votes, most-watched first). Comedy, Thriller, Crime: popular English movies of that genre from any decade (6.0+, 100+ votes). Horror: the top-rated Horror movies from any decade (6.5+ with 300+ votes, best rated first; then more well-rated ones), in the dedicated Horror section. If fewer qualify, only the real number is used; nothing unrelated is added. These rows never change Recently Added or New Releases. Featured Movies: highly rated favorites everyone knows (7.0+ rating, 1,000+ votes), then recent blockbusters (last 5 years). Urban Movies: the best Urban movies of all time, then the newest and most popular (Black cinema, comedy, drama, crime, romance, independent and more, found by TMDB's Urban-related tags; unrelated titles are never added just to reach the number). New Releases: the most popular movies released in the last 12 months; the app lists them newest first. Recently Added needs no import: the app shows the 1,000 movies most recently added to your library. Movies already in a collection count first; movies already in your library are added to it (never copied); only missing movies are imported, as Drafts. A movie can be in several collections.

New Shows & Coming Soon
New Shows: the 20 most popular English series that premiered in the last 4 months. Coming Soon: the most popular English series returning with a new season within the next month, and the 20 most anticipated upcoming English movies (plus Last Friday, even before it has a date). In the app they appear on the New Releases page, next to 20 movies In Theaters now (from the In Theaters update above) and the regular New Releases list (by release date, unchanged). Each refresh makes the two sections match the current lists: titles that are no longer new or upcoming leave them (nothing else about them changes). Titles already in your library are only tagged; missing ones are imported as Drafts, series with all their seasons and episodes.
Choose Check to see the current lists first. Nothing changes until you choose Refresh.
2002-2010 Collection
Movies 2002-2010: the top movies released January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2010, most-watched first (6.0+ rating, 100+ votes); English movies first, and popular movies in other languages (6.0+, 200+ votes) only if the English ones run out. TV Shows 2002-2010: the top series that premiered 2002 to 2010 (6.0+ rating, 50+ votes; no news, soap or talk shows; English first), each with all its seasons and episodes, linked to the network it was made for and to your streaming services that carry it in the US now. Titles from these years already in your library count first and are added (never copied); only missing ones are imported, as Drafts. If fewer qualify, only the real number is used. Imported titles go to their genre rows automatically; run Featured, Urban and Classics afterwards to add the ones that qualify there.

Curated additions
Your own picks, found on TMDB. Tyler Perry series (BET, BET+, OWN, Netflix and earlier ones) go to the BET+ category and the Tyler Perry Shows row; BET+ is only how the app organizes them, and each series keeps its real original network. Tyler Perry movies (incl. Madea), movies Lee Daniels directed or produced, and Wayans family movies (directed, written, produced or starring Keenen Ivory, Damon, Shawn or Marlon Wayans; small roles left out) go to Urban; Lee Daniels' TV productions go to Urban TV. Named titles: Above the Rim, Paper Soldiers, Clockers, Who Made the Potatoe Salad? (2006), All American, All American: Homecoming, White Men Can't Jump (1992 and 2023), Lottery Ticket, Roll Bounce, Menace II Society, Boyz n the Hood, Jason's Lyric and Lockdown. A title that is not a clear match is listed for you to choose; it is never guessed. Titles already in your library are only tagged (never copied); missing ones are imported as Drafts with their artwork, series with all their seasons and episodes. Documentaries, adult titles and unreleased movies are left out.
Choose Check list to see every title first. Nothing changes until you choose Add them.
Classic Cartoons
Your classic animated series (He-Man, She-Ra, The Transformers, Inspector Gadget, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, ThunderCats, G.I. Joe, Voltron, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Smurfs, Jonny Quest, Space Ghost, X-Men and Batman: The Animated Series and the rest of your list), plus more of the most popular English-language animated series that premiered 1960 to 1999. They go to the Classic Cartoons section, which the app's Cartoons page shows by decade. Only the original versions are matched (the premiere year must match, so later reboots are left out); a title that is not a clear match is listed for you to choose. Titles already in your library are only added to the section (never copied); missing ones are imported as Drafts with their artwork and all their seasons and episodes (no video).
Choose Check list to see every title first. Nothing changes until you choose Add them.
Repair missing posters
Finds titles with no poster and adds TMDB's official poster for that title's own TMDB id, only after checking that TMDB's record really is that title (same id and name). Nothing else changes, and no title is deleted or copied. Titles TMDB has no poster for yet keep showing their title card in the app.
Choose Check first; nothing changes until you choose Repair posters.
New episodes
Every hour the panel checks a few of your series with TMDB (the ones checked longest ago first). Episodes that have aired and are not in your library yet are added, with their new season if needed, and wait for your review: family viewers don't see them until you approve them here. Existing episodes, seasons and anything you edited are never changed; unaired episodes and video links are never added.
70s, 80s, 90s & 2000s Classics
Classic Movies: the most popular, well-rated movies released January 1, 1980 to December 31, 2009 (5.5+ rating, 100+ votes, the most-watched first): blockbusters, comedies, action, horror, drama, romance, thrillers and cult classics. Classic TV Shows: the most popular series that premiered 1980 to 2009 (6.0+ rating, 50+ votes; no news, soap or talk shows), each with all its seasons and episodes. 70s TV Shows (new): the most popular series that premiered 1970 to 1979 (6.0+ rating, 20+ votes, the most-watched first), with all seasons and episodes, shown in their own "70s TV Shows" row; series already in your library are added to Classics and count toward the target, never copied. The Classic Movies and Classic TV Shows targets are shared across the 80s, 90s and 2000s (a third each; if a decade runs short, the rest goes to the 2000s). Titles already in Classics count first; titles already in your library are added to it (never copied); only missing titles are imported, as Drafts. If fewer qualify, only the real number is used. The app shows 80s, 90s and 2000s rows for movies and for TV shows.

TV series for each streaming service
For each streaming service: up to this many of the most popular, well-rated English-language TV series streaming on that service in the US right now, each with all its seasons and episodes. BET+ closed in June 2026, so its row takes series made for the regular BET channel as well as the BET+ originals, keeps the BET+ name, and records which of the two each series came from (the title's "TMDB origin"). BET+ takes every eligible BET and BET+ show (no rating or vote minimum, since BET shows often have few TMDB votes), and its Tyler Perry series are placed in the Tyler Perry Shows section, which the app shows as its own row inside BET+. Series already in your library are linked to the service and count toward the number; only missing series are imported, as Drafts, and nothing is copied twice. News, soap and talk shows, and series with more than 500 episodes, are skipped (the next series fills the spot). Streaming data comes from JustWatch via TMDB.

Urban movies already in your library count toward the total and are added to Urban instead of being copied; only the missing ones are imported, as Drafts. TMDB's tags aren't perfect, so look them over in Review.
In Theaters (automatic)
The In Theaters section follows TMDB's list of English-language movies now playing in US theaters. Movies are added while they play and taken out of the section when they leave theaters (they stay in your library). New movies arrive as Drafts in Review below. Updates run on their own about once a day while the panel is open.
