Hosts & Sources

Understanding Hosts and Sources

Hosts are servers that provide content sources. Think of a host as a repository containing multiple sources.

Sources are the individual content providers within a host — each source gives you access to a different library of titles.

To start browsing content, you first add a host, then enable the sources you want from that host.

Managing Hosts

Adding a Host

Go to Sources (the dotted square icon in the tab bar)
Tap the + button
Acknowledge the warnings in the dialog
Enter the host URL and tap Test
Once verified, tap Save

Checking for Updates

Hosts may release updates that add new sources or capabilities.

Go to Sources
Tap on a host
If an update is available, you'll see a notification
Tap to apply the update

Removing a host disconnects all its sources. Titles in your library from those sources won't be deleted, but the particular sources for each title won't be able to fetch or read content until you manually reconnect it to a source again.

Go to Sources
Swipe left on the host
Tap Delete
