What it’s like to use.

Common questions.

What is Arc TV?

Arc TV is a modern media centre for movies and TV shows. It runs on the web, Fire TV, Android TV and Android, all with the same account.

How does it work?

Open the web app and start browsing. Create an account when you press Play or save a title, then install the add-ons you want. After that, explore Movies, TV Shows and Search.

Do I need an account?

Not to browse. You need one to play, to keep My List and Continue Watching, and to sync between devices.

Can I add my own content?

Arc TV doesn’t provide, host or recommend any content. You can connect add-ons for services and libraries you have the right to use, such as your own collection or subscriptions. You’re responsible for what you add and for following the law and the terms of those services.

Is Arc TV free?

Yes. Arc TV is free to use, including browsing, playing, My List, Continue Watching and sync. Arc TV Plus is optional and only there to support development and the servers, with a few extras such as Picked for you, extra profiles and Your stats as a thank you.

What is an add-on?

Add-ons supply catalogues and sources. Arc TV comes with Cinemeta preinstalled for browsing, and you can install more third-party add-ons by URL. Arc TV supports the Stremio add-on format, so add-ons made for Stremio work in it. Arc TV is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Stremio, and it doesn’t make or endorse any add-on, so you choose what to add and you’re responsible for it.

Is there a Mac app?

Yes. Arc TV for Mac needs a Mac with Apple Silicon and macOS 14 or later. It isn’t notarized by Apple yet, so macOS asks you to confirm the first time you open it. Download it from the Mac releases page on GitHub.

Is Arc TV on iPhone or Apple TV?

Not as an app yet. On iPhone and iPad you can use the web app in your browser, which fits small screens.

What plays the video?

Arc TV is powered by the mpv and VLC players, which handle a wide range of formats, audio and subtitle tracks.

Is my data the same on web and TV?

Yes. The web app is just another device on your account, so My List, Continue Watching, add-ons and settings are shared.

Sign in once and every screen you add comes back to the same list.

What Arc TV is not.

Arc TV is a client-side interface. It browses metadata and plays media supplied by add-ons you install or sources you provide, and is intended only for content you own or are otherwise authorised to access. Arc TV does not condone piracy or copyright infringement, and you are responsible for what you connect and how you use it. It does not host, store or distribute media.

Arc TV is not affiliated with any third-party add-on, catalogue, source or content provider. Film and show artwork on this page is for illustration only.
