## Description

ivideo is a cross-platform media client and video aggregator that consolidates content from multiple streaming platforms into a single unified interface. It functions as a webview content wrapper that embeds third-party video pages within a native browser component for use across Windows, Mac, and Linux.

The project operates as a premium content unlocker by intercepting network requests and modifying headers to bypass subscription requirements and access restricted resources. It further enables regional media access through user-agent spoofing, allowing users to view video streams from specific geographic platforms.

The application provides a distraction-free viewing experience by injecting custom CSS and JavaScript to remove platform navigation menus and toolbars. It also includes capabilities for multi-source playback routing to resolve loading failures and connectivity issues.
