Manage your sources

Updated

Everything about a source is managed from Settings → Sources. Tap a source to open its settings.

Reload

Reload re-syncs the source's catalog — new channels, movies, and episodes your provider added since the last sync. Content also refreshes when the app launches, and you can pull to refresh in the main tabs.

Edit details

Edit Details lets you change the name, URLs, and connection details of M3U, Xtream, SMB, WebDAV, and manifest sources without deleting them — your favorites and watch history stay intact. Plex uses Reauthorize instead (a fresh sign-in), while Jellyfin and Emby use Manage URLs for server addresses.

Choose what shows up

Manage Content (a Pro feature) controls what a source contributes:

  • Toggle Live TV, Movies, and Shows per source. Movie and series toggles hide content in the Library without deleting anything — re-enabling is instant.
  • For Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby, hide individual libraries.
  • For live TV, open the category manager to create, reorder, or hide categories and customize their channels — see organize your channels.

Home and Library have their own row editors. Use them to add source libraries and collections, change row styles, or give media server destinations a custom name and artwork. See customize Home and Library.

Metadata preference

Each source has a Metadata setting that decides where artwork and details come from.

  • TMDB first (default) — decorates your content with TMDB artwork and details.
  • Provider first — prefers the posters and info your provider supplies.

Dion always falls back to provider data when TMDB has no match.

Source priority

With more than one source, Settings → Priority appears, controlling which source wins when the same title exists in several.

Delete a source

Delete removes the source after a confirmation — "All content from this source will be removed." Your watch progress and bookmarks are keyed to the content itself and survive re-adding the same source.
