Channo: IPTV & M3U Live Player

Channo plays IPTV and media playlists you bring — not ones we ship. Import an M3U / M3U8 link or file, Xtream Codes credentials, or a single stream URL. Channo validates channels, builds your library, and plays with a dual-engine stack: Apple AVPlayer first, then automatic fallback to LGPL FFmpeg when a format or server needs it. No built-in channels, no scraped web TV, no DLNA. WHY PEOPLE SEARCH FOR AN M3U / IPTV PLAYER • You already have a playlist from your NAS, provider, or club — you just need a reliable iPhone / iPad client • Mixed codecs and flaky HTTP sources break single-engine apps; dual engines recover more streams • You want favorites, recents, and an EPG/XMLTV guide without giving the app your content catalog • You need audio that keeps going in the car, and video only when it is safe / allowed PLAYBACK THAT HOLDS UP • HLS (m3u8), MPEG-TS, common progressive HTTP streams • Automatic engine switch when AVPlayer fails or stalls • Audio tracks and text subtitles (bitmap PGS/DVB deferred) • Picture-in-picture and wireless screen streaming where the system allows • Channel probe / health check before you waste a drive LIBRARY & GUIDE • Multiple sources (Pro unlocks unlimited) • Favorites and continue watching • XMLTV / EPG guide — Now/Next on free, full-day on Pro • Search across your own channels • Downloads for trips and parking garages (Pro) WORKS WITH CARPLAY • Video on the car screen while parked; audio only while driving, without restarting the stream • 20 minutes of parked video per day on free, unlimited on Pro • Clear in-car states when video is unavailable IPAD • Large-screen channel + player layout PRIVACY, ON PURPOSE • Sources, favorites, and progress stay on device (optional iCloud sync on Pro) • Xtream passwords go only into the system Keychain • Optional diagnostics are OFF by default and never upload cleartext stream URLs or credentials • No ads, no third-party tracking SDK, no account wall CHANNO PRO (ONE-TIME) Unlock unlimited parked video time, unlimited sources, full-day guide, offline downloads, and iCloud sync. Family Sharing supported. Restore purchases anytime. Free tier remains fully usable for a single M3U with Now/Next guide. IMPORTANT Channo does not provide television content. You are responsible for only importing sources you have the right to use. FFmpeg is dynamically linked under LGPL — see Licenses in the app and on the website.
