## Common questions

### Does StreamFlow need an existing Dispatcharr instance during setup?

Yes. It requires a running Dispatcharr instance reachable from the StreamFlow container, using an API key or username/password credentials.

### Can StreamFlow automatically schedule stream refresh and quality checks?

Profiles can independently control playlist refresh, stream matching, and quality checks. You can assign interval, cron, or EPG-based schedules.

### Is hardware acceleration required for StreamFlow?

No. StreamFlow probes CPU by default and supports optional hardware acceleration with CPU fallback.

### Are Teamarr or OpenStream required to use StreamFlow?

No. Teamarr event preflight and OpenStream monitoring are optional features, with OpenStream monitoring requiring an OpenStream server for supported sources.
