## What is Interlace Player?

Interlace plays your media server – Plex, Jellyfin or Emby – and your IPTV channels in a single, quiet interface. What you own and what is on air, in the same rails, the same search, the same player.

WHAT IT DOES
• One home: Continue Watching from your media server next to what is on TV right now.
• A programme guide that groups your provider's channels, pins favourites and reads like a TV guide: now, next, tonight.
• Plays what Plex struggles with: direct play for MKV, TS, Dolby Digital Plus, TrueHD and 7.1 through the built-in FFmpeg engine, with image and text subtitles rendered on the device. No transcoding on your server.
• Made for the living room: the same app on Apple TV, laid out for the remote. Pick the Apple TV from your phone, and the phone becomes the remote.
• Discover what is new on Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV+ and others with your own free TMDB key, and see where a title streams in your region.
• Multiview: up to four live channels at once – the sound follows your pick, and on Apple TV any channel opens full screen and back.
• Picture in Picture: keep a channel or film running in a corner while you watch something else.
• Watch offline: download films and episodes from Plex, Jellyfin, Emby or your provider's catalogue (iPhone, iPad and Mac). Downloads continue in the background and pick up where they stopped.
• Optional: connect Overseerr or Jellyseerr to request titles.

WHAT YOU NEED
• A media server, yours or one shared with you: Plex, Jellyfin or Emby. With Plex, remote streaming needs a Plex Pass on the server owner's account or a Remote Watch Pass on yours; on the home network it plays without either. Or skip the media server and use only IPTV.
• For live TV: an M3U playlist or Xtream login from your own IPTV provider. Interlace ships no channels. What a playlist contains, and your right to watch it, is between you and that provider.

PRIVACY
• No account with us, no analytics, no tracking. Your credentials stay on the device and in your own iCloud keychain.

INTERLACE PRO
• Try everything free for 30 days.
• Afterwards, watching needs Interlace Pro: 14,99 € per year (auto-renewing) or 39,99 € once. Browsing, the guide and search stay free.
• One purchase unlocks iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac. Family Sharing included.
• Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.4 — 2026-10-27

• Sports: follow your football clubs and competitions. The new Sports tab shows the match on now with the live score, the week ahead, your club's form and its latest results. When one of your IPTV channels shows the match, Interlace finds it in the guide and plays it with one tap – channels in your own language first. Your matches also lead Home and appear in Live TV.
• A short tour on first launch shows Multiview, Sports, Downloads and playing on other devices, and lets you pick your clubs right away. After an update, “New in Interlace” sums up what changed.
• Favourite films and series: tap the heart on a title and find it again under Favorites in the Library, on every device.
• Recently watched follows you to every device, both ways.
• The player's settings got one design: Audio, Subtitles, Quality and Info are one sheet with the same sections on every device – language names instead of codes, badges for Forced, SDH and Default, a labelled controls bar. The Subtitles sheet lists every track at once; size is a three-step switch with live preview.
• OpenSubtitles: search and download missing subtitles right from the player with your own account – results grouped by language, your preferred languages first.
• Downloads: films and series apart, episodes grouped under their show, artwork kept offline. “Clear watched” removes only what you have watched. The app stays smooth while downloading, and Delete sits in a menu away from Play.
• Downloads are more reliable: converted downloads continue where they stopped and wait for the network instead of failing. Progress watched offline syncs later.
• iPhone: Requests now lives in the Library, so Search stays in the tab bar. Playback continues with the screen locked on iPhone and iPad. Detail pages have compact action buttons; on iPad they follow the window size.
• Streaming quality can be set separately for home, away and mobile data.
• Hand your setup to a new device over Wi-Fi – no iCloud needed.
• IPTV films and series appear under Movies and Series, each playlist with its own filter. Multiview keeps the channel you are watching playing in the first tile.
• Requests: a season that is already in your library shows as available.
• A spinner shows while a title opens or buffers.
• Fixes a “Plex is unreachable” case when another service on the same host answered first.

### 1.3.2 — 2026-10-18

• Picture in picture: Swap trades the two pictures instantly – the running streams keep playing, no reconnect and no black screen (live channels and Plex, Jellyfin or Emby titles).
• Up Next now appears when the final credits start, also when the phone is the remote. If the next episode can't be loaded, the player stays open instead of closing.
• IPTV: a playlist that names its own guide (EPG) in its header is picked up automatically – leave the EPG field empty.
• iPhone remote: scrolling no longer stutters while a player is connected, and the track and option buttons fit on small screens.

### 1.3.1 — 2026-10-17

• Jellyfin and Emby: connect your Jellyfin or Emby server instead of Plex – the same Home, library, player and downloads, with watch state in sync. Or use no media server at all, just IPTV.
• Multiview: the channel you are watching keeps playing in the first tile – no black screen while switching.
• Apple TV: open any multiview tile full screen and go back to multiview; with two channels the pictures are larger. iPad in landscape: two channels corner to corner, larger as well.
• Downloads are faster and more reliable: converted downloads continue where they stopped and wait for the network instead of failing. Progress watched offline syncs later.
• IPTV films and series now appear under Movies and Series. With several playlists, each one gets its own filter. A new setting keeps them in their own filter only.
• iPhone Duo: rows and the guide use the full width next to the side column.
• Fixes a crash when a download ran out of background time.

### 1.3 — 2026-10-16

• Try everything free for 30 days – the trial starts automatically the first time you press play.
• Apple TV: after playback, the menus return to the normal frame rate instead of staying at 24p.
• Minor improvements and fixes.

### 1.2 — 2026-10-12

• New Home in the style of the Apple TV app: a big hero image and full-art cards – on Apple TV, iPad and iPhone.
• Plex is now optional: set up Interlace with just your IPTV playlist or Xtream login, and connect Plex later if you like.
• Dolby Atmos: Plex titles with Atmos sound (Dolby Digital Plus) now play in Atmos.
• Show or hide stream info right from the player.
• UHD live channels: deeper buffer and more patient reconnects.
• The IPTV stream format now defaults to Automatic – Xtream channels use MPEG-TS when your provider allows it.
• Timeshift: a bar shows how far you are behind live – scrub back through the buffer or jump straight to live. Short network drops no longer interrupt recording.
• Live channels recover faster after a hiccup.
• Live Activity: while your iPhone controls the Apple TV, what's playing sits on the lock screen.
• Swipe down to close the iPhone remote.
• Tidier settings.
• Fixes and polish.
