About

Playa plays the M3U playlist from your TV provider on your iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV. Playa is a player only. It contains no channels, streams or playlists, and it does not provide access to any content. You need a playlist from a service you are entitled to use. PLAYLISTS • Add a playlist by its M3U address, or from a file on the Mac • Playlists open instantly from a cache and refresh in the background • Built for very large playlists LIVE TV, FILMS AND SERIES • Playlists that mix live channels, films and series are split into sections • Series are grouped into shows and seasons • Films and episodes resume where you stopped TV GUIDE • Now and next on every channel, with programme descriptions • A timeline guide for any group or list • Search the guide to find which channel is showing a programme • Follow teams, sports and shows, and see every upcoming broadcast in one list • Reads the guide address from your playlist, and finds it automatically for common provider formats MAKE IT YOURS • Favourites and your own named lists, in the order you choose • Recently watched • Hide the groups you never use • Choose which list opens when the app starts (Mac and Apple TV) PLAYBACK • Plays the common stream and file formats, with hardware decoding • Choose audio and subtitle tracks • On Apple TV, bring up the channel list with now and next over the picture, without stopping it • On iPhone and iPad, swipe the right edge for volume and the left edge for brightness • Careful with single-stream subscriptions: Playa never starts a stream by itself and closes one stream before opening the next SYNC AND PRIVACY • Playlists, favourites, lists and resume positions sync through your own iCloud account • Optional PIN lock on each device • No accounts, no ads, no tracking • One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV Screenshots show Big Buck Bunny (© copyright 2008, Blender Foundation / www.bigbuckbunny.org) and Sintel (© copyright Blender Foundation / durian.blender.org), both licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0.

What's New in Playa

1.1

October 9, 2026

Catch-up: channels that keep an archive are marked ↺. Watch the programme that is on from its start, or choose "Watch from…" and pick a day and time yourself, which works even when the TV guide is empty. Jumping back and forth in a recording takes seconds. Go back to the channel you watched before. Sleep timer. The TV guide keeps itself up to date and can be refreshed on its own, without downloading the playlist again. If the provider has no usable guide, Playa says why and asks again every quarter of an hour. Alternative servers: if your provider gives more than one server for your account, Playa asks them in turn for the TV guide. Set on the Mac, used on all your devices. Reminders shortly before broadcasts you follow. The side buttons show a volume bar.
