+## ⚙️ Settings
+
+### Channel Mode
+#### `Direct`
+Directly uses the source stream. Won't work with most of the streams, because of CORS, IP/Device restrictions. Is also incompatible with custom headers and privacy mode.
+
+#### `Proxy` (Preffered)
+The stream requests are proxied through the backend. Allows to set custom headers and bypass CORS. This mode is preffered. Only switch to restream mode, if proxy mode won't work for your stream or if you have synchronization issues.
+
+#### `Restream`
+The backend service caches the source stream (with ffmpeg) and restreams it. Can help with hard device restrictions of your provider or synchroization problems (when your iptv channels have no programDateTime). But it can lead to longer initial loading times and performance issues after time.
+
+## FAQ & Common Mistakes
+
+Which streaming mode should I choose for the channel?
+
+> Generally: You should try with direct mode first, switch to proxy mode if it doesn't work and switch to restream mode if this also doesn't work.
+>
+> Proxy mode is most likely the mode, you will use! You will need restream mode especially when your iptv playlist has no programDateTime set and you want to have playback synchronization.
+---
+
+How can I use the channels on any other iptv player (e.g. on TV)?
+
+> Please click on the 📺 (TV-button) in the top-right in the frontend. There you'll find the playlist you have to use in any other iptv player.
+> This playlist contains all your channels and one **CURRENT_CHANNEL**, which forwards the content of the currently played channel.
+> If this playlist does not work, please check if the base-url of the channels in the playlist is correct and set the `BACKEND_URL` in the `docker-compose.yml` if not.
+---
+
+My playlist only supports xtream codes api!
+
+> [IPTV playlist browser](https://github.com/PhunkyBob/iptv_playlist_browser) allows you to export a m3u playlist from your xtream codes account, and let's you select single channels or the whole playlist. Official xstreams-code integration is planned!
+---
+Error: `Bind for 0.0.0.0:80 failed: port is already allocated`
+
+> To fix this, change the [port mapping in the docker-compose](docker-compose.yml#L40) to `X:80` e.g. `8080:80`. Make also sure that port X is open in the firewall configuration if you want to expose the application.
+---
+Is it possible to run components seperately, if I only need the frontend OR backend?
+
+> If you only need the **restream** functionality and want to use another iptv player (e.g. VLC), you may only run the [backend](/backend/README.md).
+> <br>
+> If you only need the **synchronization** functionality, you may only run the [frontend](/frontend/README.md).
+>
+> Be aware, that this'll require additional configuration/adaption and won't be officially supported. It is recommended to [run the whole project as once](#run-with-docker-preferred).
+---
+Is there a option to limit access of channel management?
+
+> Yes, you can enable [**Admin Mode**](/deployment/README.md#admin-mode) in the configuration to restrict channel management to authenticated administrators only.

+A simple NodeJS web server that is able to proxy and restream your any iptv stream/playlist and manage multiple playlists.
 
 ## 🚀 Run
 
+It is strongly advised to [use the frontend together with the backend](../deployment/README.md). 
+
+
+If you still want to use it standalone, consider these options:
+
+### With Docker (Preferred)
+
+In this directory:
+```bash
+docker build -t iptv_restream_backend
+```
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+  -v {streams_directory}:/streams \
+  -e STORAGE_PATH=/streams \
+  iptv_restream_backend
+```
+make sure that you have created a directory for the streams storage:
+e.g. create `/streams` and replace `{streams_directory}` with it.
+
+### Bare metal
+
 Setup a `.env` file or 
 equivalent environment variables:
 ```env
-DEFAULT_CHANNEL_URL=https://mcdn.daserste.de/daserste/de/master.m3u8
 STORAGE_PATH=/mnt/streams/recordings
 ```

-## 🛠️ Architecture
+## 🛠️ Endpoints
 
 ### API
 
-- Endpoints to add a channel, get all channels, get selected channel and set selected channel
+#### [ChannelController](./controllers/ChannelController.js)
 
-### WebSockets
+- GET: `/api/channels/:channelId` and `/api/channels` to get information about the registered channels.
+- GET: `/api/channels/current` to get the currently playing channel.
+- PUT: `api/channels/:channelId` to update a channel.
+- DELETE: `api/channels/:channelId` to delete a channel.
+- POST: `api/channels` to create a new channel.
+
+#### [ProxyController](./controllers/ProxyController.js)
+
+- `/proxy/channel` to get the M3U File of the current channel
+- `/proxy/segment` and `/proxy/key` will be used by the iptv player directly
+
+#### Restream
+
+- `/streams/{currentChannelId}/{currentChannelId}.m3u` to access the current restream.
+
+### WebSocket
 
 - `channel-added` and `channel-selected` events will be send to all connected clients
 - chat messages: `send-chat-message` and `chat-message`
 - users: `user-connected` and `user-disconnected`
+
+## ℹ️ Usage without the frontend (with other iptv player)
+You can use all the channels with any other IPTV player. The backend exposes a **M3U Playlist** on `http://your-domain/api/channels/playlist`. You can also find it by clicking on the TV-button on the top right in the frontend!
+If this playlist does not work, please check if the base-url of the channels in the playlist is correct and set the `BACKEND_URL` in the `docker-compose.yml` if not.
+
+This playlist contains all your channels and one **CURRENT_CHANNEL**, which forwards the content of the currently played channel.
+
+To modify the channel list, you can use the frontend or the [api](#channelcontroller).
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> These options are only tested with VLC media player as other iptv player. Use them at your own risk. Only for the usage together with the frontend will be support provided.

+# Advanced Deployment
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+### Admin Mode
+Admin Mode restricts channel management to authenticated administrators only.
+
+**Configuration (in `docker-compose.yml` > iptv_restream_backend):**
+- `ADMIN_ENABLED`: Enable admin mode (`true` or `false` [default]).
+- `ADMIN_PASSWORD`: Set a secure password for admin login (required if admin mode is enabled).
+- `CHANNEL_SELECTION_REQUIRES_ADMIN`: If set to `true`, only admins can switch the currently watched channel.
+
+## Docker 
+
+### Easy Way (Preffered)
+Clone the repo
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/antebrl/IPTV-Restream.git
+```
+
+Make sure to have docker up & running. Start with docker compose
+```bash
+docker compose up -d
+```
+Open http://localhost
+
+### Production Build (with SSL certificate)
+If you want to expose the application to the public under your domain, [this](docker-compose.yml) could be an easy deployment to get it working with `https`. You still have to configure nginx-proxy-manager when using this solution.
+
+### Prebuild Images
+Use the [ghcr-docker-compose.yml](ghcr-docker-compose.yml).
+```bash
+docker compose -f ghcr-docker-compose.yml up
+```
+
+Disadvantages:
+- not always up to date
+- cannot set custom configuration for the frontend, as the config is parsed in the image build process

 # Frontend
 
+A simple React webpage that can stream iptv streams in hls-format. Provides synchronized playback by using a constant delay. Also supports multiple IPTV streams (channel selection) and a chat if using together with the backend.
+
 ## 🚀 Run
+
+It is strongly advised to [use the frontend together with the backend](../deployment/README.md). There is also a `direct` mode which doesn't route the iptv traffic through the backend.
+
+
+If you still want to use it standalone, consider these options:
+
+### With Docker (Preferred)
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+  --name iptv_restream_frontend \
+  -p 8080:80 \
+  ghcr.io/antebrl/iptv-restream/frontend:{currentVersion}
+```
+See the `{currentVersion}` in the [package registry](https://github.com/antebrl/IPTV-Restream/pkgs/container/iptv-restream%2Ffrontend) e.g. `v2.1`.
+
+#### Build
+
+In this directory:
+```bash
+docker build --build-arg VITE_BACKEND_STREAMS_PATH=/streams/ --build-arg VITE_STREAM_DELAY=18 -t iptv_restream_frontend
+```
+
+```bash
+docker run -d iptv_restream_backend
+```
+
+### Bare metal
+
 Setup a `.env` file or 
 equivalent environment variables:
 ```env
 #VITE_BACKEND_URL: http://123.123.123.123:5000
-VITE_BACKEND_STREAMS_PATH: /streams/playlist.m3u8
 VITE_STREAM_DELAY: 18
 ```
 
@@ -16,3 +46,7 @@ npm run dev
 ```
 
 To use together with the backend, [run with docker](../README.md#run-with-docker-preferred).
+
+## ℹ️ Usage without the backend
+You have to make some adjustments in the code as the frontend requires websocket connection to the backend at the moment. Use this at your own risk.
