## What is Cabin Cinema?

With Cabin Pro, Cabin Cinema plays video on your car's CarPlay screen while you are parked. In cars that support video, your own playlists, web pages and your iPhone's screen appear on the car display, laid out for its wide shape. It ships with no channels and no catalog of its own: add an M3U link, an Xtream Codes login or a Jellyfin or Emby server and Cabin Cinema plays what your own provider gives you.

Free to download and to set up: add as many playlists, accounts and servers as you like and browse them. Watching anything needs Cabin Pro.

ON THE CAR SCREEN, WITH CABIN PRO
• Play video on the CarPlay screen while parked, in cars that support video
• A widescreen layout: the picture in the middle, your channels on one side, what is playing and the time on the other, its colours glowing behind
• Wait mode: say how long you are staying; the car screen counts it down and puts the picture away when it is time to go
• Browse your sources, groups and channels on the car screen
• Open websites on the car screen while parked, with an on-screen keyboard for search boxes
• Mirror your iPhone screen to the car display while parked
• Control playback and keep listening through the car speakers
• Dash Mode: a landscape layout with oversized controls for a dashboard mount
• For passengers only. Use video only while parked; the car screen asks you to confirm that you are parked. Never watch video while driving.

BRING YOUR OWN SOURCES
• M3U and M3U8 playlists from a link, a file or a QR code
• Xtream Codes accounts with live channels and video on demand
• Jellyfin and Emby media servers
• Local video files, played offline
• Comes with Cabin Demo, four public samples, switched off when you add your first own source

MADE FOR LONG LISTS
• Channels sorted into groups, with search across every source
• Favorites, recently played and resume where you left off
• Background checks hide channels that cannot play
• Several stream lines per channel: switch instantly when one drops

MIRRORING AND AIRPLAY
• Mirror your iPhone screen, including video from other apps
• AirPlay and background audio
• Picture in Picture for files and media servers

CAST FROM OTHER APPS
• Tap Cast in apps with a Cast button (Bilibili, Plex, Emby, Infuse, VLC...) and pick Cabin Cinema. It lives in the Cast tab and is off until you turn it on
• Not the same as Screen Mirroring, which puts your iPhone screen on the car display (Cabin tab)

PLAYBACK
• Software decoding for IPTV channels, hardware decoding for files and media servers
• Subtitle and audio track selection, with subtitle timing offset
• Custom HTTP headers and user agent per source

PRIVACY
No account, no sign-up, no tracking. Your playlists stay on your device and provider passwords are stored in the iOS Keychain. Nothing is sent anywhere except to the provider you configured.

CABIN PRO
Cabin Pro is needed to watch anything: on your iPhone, in CarPlay and on the car screen, with screen mirroring, Dash Mode and subtitle sync.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-11-09

A whole new look. Cabin Cinema is redesigned from top to bottom as a drive-in seen from the driver's seat: a new icon, a dark cinema theme, bigger artwork and clearer screens everywhere, the car screen included.

Browsing the app and adding your playlists, Xtream accounts and media servers is now free. Watching needs Cabin Pro.

Plus many smaller fixes and improvements.
