## What is Playa?

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
• 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 what opens when the app starts

PLAYBACK
• Plays the common stream and file formats, with hardware decoding
• Choose audio and subtitle tracks
• 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
• No accounts, no ads, no tracking
• One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV
