## What is Cobi Player?

Cobi Player is a fast, native player for YOUR OWN IPTV or M3U service, on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV. It contains no channels, streams or other content and sells no IPTV subscriptions: you connect your own service with an Xtream Codes login or an M3U playlist.

WHY COBI PLAYER
Built because other players are slow and cannot sort by country. Cobi Player loads categories on demand instead of tens of thousands of entries at once, so even huge lists open instantly: countries first, then categories, then channels. And when a stream stalls, the player notices and reconnects by itself.

NEW IN 1.4
- A new layout: tabs on iPhone, a sidebar on iPad, and Home with Continue Watching
- Now on the Mac too: a real Mac app, free to watch and without ads, and your Pro works there
- The next episode starts by itself after a short countdown
- Film and series pages with a large picture, cast & crew and more from the same category
- Program times that match what is on air, even when a provider's are hours off
- Your own look (Pro), and Scenes: picture themes for your lists

EVERYTHING INSIDE
- Xtream Codes login: live TV, movies, series, the program guide (EPG) and catch-up
- M3U playlist: live channels, from a URL or a file
- Sorted by country, with search across sections, countries and categories
- Live TV with now and next, catch-up and timeshift - or the running show from its start
- Movies and series with posters, ratings, plot, trailers and resume
- Choose the audio and subtitle track while you watch
- Picture in Picture and background audio
- Several profiles for several accounts
- Move your account to your Apple TV or Mac with an 8-digit code instead of typing it again
- 15 languages, switchable in the app
- A free preview with openly licensed demo streams, no account needed

FREE TO WATCH
Everything for watching is free on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV, with no time limit: live TV, movies, series, the guide, catch-up, search, resume, profiles, favorites and the audio or subtitle track. On iPhone and iPad the free version shows ads.

COBI PLAYER PRO
- Favorites in folders - channels, movies and series together
- Lists your way - hide the countries, categories and channels you never watch, pin the ones you love
- Player extras - sleep timer, speed 0.5x-2x, audio and subtitle fine-tuning
- Device sync - favorites, folders, history, resume points, lists and settings, through your own iCloud
- Your own look - six color themes, dark, light or automatic, backgrounds, fonts and a matching app icon
- No ads - and much more

Choose a yearly subscription or a one-time purchase: the same Pro either way, for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV, no account needed. New subscribers get the yearly's first week free. If Pro ends, folders, lists and your look are switched off, not deleted, and come back with Pro.

Scenes - Nebula, Retro TV, Aurora and Stadium - are one-time purchases of their own, with or without Pro and cheaper with it. A scene you bought stays yours.

The yearly subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends - the free week too; manage it in your Apple Account settings. Pro unlocks app features only, no content.

PRIVACY
No account and no analytics of our own, and you decide whether ads may be personalized. Your login stays in your device's Keychain and goes only to the server you set up. The sync runs through your own iCloud: we never see it, and it never carries your password.

IMPORTANT
Cobi Player is a player only. You need your own legal service from a third-party provider; the provider and the user alone are responsible for the content and its legality.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-10-25

Cobi Player 1.4 is the biggest update so far.

NOW ON THE MAC
- Cobi Player is now a real Mac app as well: free to watch, without ads, with the keyboard and the menu bar. Pro and the scenes you bought here unlock it too.

A NEW LAYOUT
- iPhone: tabs at the bottom - Home, Live, Movies, Series and Favorites. Each tab keeps its place.
- iPad: a bar on the left with the same five, and your profile at its foot.
- Home: Continue Watching holds what you started and haven't finished, one tile per series. Recent holds the rest, and each row has its own Clear.
- Catch-up now lives in Live TV: the Archive switch shows the channels you can rewind.
- Close a film or an episode and you are back on its page. On iPhone, closing the small floating player just stops it.

SERIES THAT KEEP GOING
- At the end of an episode the next one starts after a 10-second countdown. After three in a row, Cobi Player asks if you're still watching.
- A series you are in the middle of offers Next Episode next to Continue Watching, and Play picks up where you are.

RICHER PAGES
- Film and series pages with a large picture, cast & crew with photos, badges such as 4K, HDR and 5.1, and more from the same category.

THE RIGHT PROGRAM TIMES
- If your provider's guide was hours off, Cobi Player now reads its times the way the provider means them. Still off? Settings > Edit Active Profile > Program Times.

MAKE IT YOURS
- Appearance (Pro): six color themes, dark, light or automatic, backgrounds, fonts and a matching PRO app icon.
- Scenes: Nebula, Retro TV, Aurora and Stadium put a picture behind your lists. Each one is its own purchase, cheaper with Pro, and yours to keep.

ALSO NEW
- Cobi Player Pro: the yearly plan now starts with a free week for new subscribers.
- Favorites: headings, A-Z sorts your folders too, and two folders can no longer have the same name.
- If your provider refuses a stream because another device is using your connection, Cobi Player tells you so.
- A film whose stream breaks off midway reconnects at the same spot instead of closing.
- Double-tap the left or right of a film to skip 10 seconds, and keep tapping to add more. A bubble shows how far.
- Settings > About: Report a Problem and Suggest an Idea take you to our website. If a channel won't play, its error screen can report it too.
- Deleting a profile now asks first and says what goes with it.

### 1.3.1 — 2026-10-08

- Cobi Player Pro now also comes as a yearly subscription. Or pay once, as before: the same Pro either way, on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.
- Moving your account to your Apple TV with the 8-digit code is now free.
- Smaller ads on iPhone: the ad banner at the bottom of the screen is now at most half as tall as before, so you see more of your channels, movies and series. In landscape it takes even less room.
- New in Settings > About: "Rate Cobi Player" takes you straight to the App Store, where you can rate or review the app.
- Now and then, after you have finished watching something, Cobi Player may ask for a rating with Apple's standard dialog - never while you are watching, and at most once per version.

Cobi Player Pro removes all advertising.

### 1.3 — 2026-10-04

Ready for iOS 27.

- Search is no longer tied to the section you are in: switch between Live, Movies, Series and Categories right in the search field, and a result opens in its own section. Nothing found? One tap searches another section, and country buttons narrow down long result lists.
- "Customize Countries" now also appears in Movies and Series, not just in Live TV, when your provider groups them by country. Hide the countries you never watch with Cobi Player Pro.
- Sound and Picture in Picture are reworked for iOS 27.
- Switching channels is cleaner: the previous stream now closes completely before the next one starts, which helps with services that allow only one connection at a time.
- The ad banner fits the space it has: it is no longer cut off at the sides in landscape, and no longer leaves a black block after you rotate the device.
- On 13-inch iPads with iPadOS 27, opening a movie, or rotating the iPad with a movie open, could freeze the app. Fixed.

Cobi Player Pro removes all advertising.

### 1.2 — 2026-09-08

Subtitles now appear - and films can be scrubbed.

Two faults in the playback engine are fixed. Both were completely silent - no crash, no error message - which is why they lasted as long as they did.

SUBTITLES did not appear on iPhone, iPad or Mac at all, whatever the language or format; on Apple TV only plain tracks worked, and styled ones stayed invisible. Two separate faults were behind that. The engine had been built without a font provider, so styled subtitles were decoded and then simply not drawn - on every device. And on iPhone, iPad and Mac the subtitle layer was never created in the first place, which took the rest with it. Both are fixed. They still do not appear in Picture in Picture: that small window mirrors the video layer only.

SEEKING inside most films froze the picture for a few seconds and then threw the film back to the start. Every jump sent the sound track to the beginning of the file, and playback then crawled back towards your position. Dragging the slider, tapping +10s and resuming a film all land straight away now. And if a film does stall, it reconnects where it stopped instead of starting over.

Also in this release:
- The bar at the bottom is no longer a black strip when no ad was delivered, and an ad already on screen is no longer thrown away every time you start a video.
- Apple TV: the audio track list is always shown, repeated ten-second skips add up correctly, search finds names written with capitals or accents, and results are no longer squeezed into three lines.
- A purchase that fails now says so instead of doing nothing.
- A wrong or expired transfer code is reported at once instead of after a long wait.

Cobi Player Pro removes all advertising.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-04

Ads now follow your own choice.

Version 1.0 always requested generic ads, even from people who had just agreed to personalized ones - your answer was collected and then ignored. That is fixed. This version asks once whether tracking is allowed, and then respects what you picked. Decline, or ignore the prompt, and nothing about the app changes: ads simply stay non-personalized, exactly as before.

Also in this release:
- The banner is larger.
- The full-screen ad before a video appears at most every 30 minutes, and after every fifth start with at least five minutes in between.
- Ads no longer stay blank after a failed load.

Cobi Player Pro removes all advertising - and with it both prompts.
