Everything you need,
nothing you don't.

SRT Player takes care of the technical complexity so you can focus on monitoring your streams.

⚡
Hardware Decoding

Apple VideoToolbox decodes HEVC and H.264 on the GPU — smooth playback at minimal CPU usage, even on battery.

⊞
Multi-Stream Tabs

Monitor multiple SRT streams at once in independent tabs. Each stream has its own stats, log, and recording state.

↻
Auto-Reconnect

Network drops are handled automatically. SRT Player reconnects without any manual intervention, 24/7.

⏺
Continuous Recording

One file, no gaps. Recording continues seamlessly across reconnects with correct timestamps throughout.

☰
Global Channel List

Channels are shared across all tabs. Add a stream once, use it everywhere. Open any channel in its own window.

◈
Freeze Detection

Configurable timeout catches frozen frames before they become a problem. Know the moment signal stops moving.

Simple. Reliable. Free.

Built by broadcast engineers for broadcast engineers.

🎯
Native macOS

Built with Qt and FFmpeg — not a web app wrapped in Electron. Fast, responsive, and feels at home on your Mac.

🔓
Open Source

Fully open source under the MIT license. Inspect the code, contribute, or fork it for your own needs.
