## What is PlayIn?

Add your playlist. Tap play. That's it. PlayIn connects to your IPTV service in seconds — M3U, Xtream Codes, or Stalker Portal. Live TV channels, movies, series, and a full EPG TV Guide, all wrapped in a stunning dark glassmorphism interface built for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

YOUR PLAYLISTS, ONE BEAUTIFUL PLAYER

PlayIn supports every major IPTV format:
- M3U / M3U8 — Paste your playlist URL and start watching immediately.
- Xtream Codes API — Enter server, username, and password. Full catalog loaded automatically: live channels, movies, series, and categories.
- Stalker Portal — Connect with your portal URL and MAC address. Channels and VOD organized instantly.

All three formats get the same premium experience: categories, search, favorites, EPG, and watch progress — no compromise.

LIVE TV WITH FULL EPG TV GUIDE

Browse hundreds of channels organized by category. See what's on now and what's next with the integrated Electronic Program Guide:
- Multi-day timeline with horizontal scrolling
- Real-time "Now" indicator so you never miss a moment
- Channel logos and program titles at a glance
- Jump to current time with one tap

MOVIES & SERIES — YOUR PERSONAL LIBRARY

- Full detail view: synopsis, cast, director, duration, and format
- Series organized by season and episode with in-player episode switching
- Watch progress tracked automatically — pick up exactly where you left off

CONTINUE WATCHING — NEVER LOSE YOUR PLACE

PlayIn remembers your progress across every movie and episode. Resume playback instantly from the Continue Watching screen, or let the app ask, auto-resume, or start over — your choice in Settings.

- Supports HLS, HTTP, RTMP, and dozens of stream formats
- Double-tap to seek: rewind or fast-forward 10 seconds (accumulates with rapid taps)
- Draggable progress bar with time preview
- Aspect ratio cycling: Fit, Fill, or Stretch
- Full keyboard shortcuts on Mac (Space, arrows, F, M, A, E)
- Episode panel: switch episodes without leaving the player
- Smart fallback: automatically tries alternative formats if a stream fails

FAVORITES & SEARCH

- Browse favorites by category with dedicated tabs

One app. Three platforms. No compromise.

ELEGANT DARK DESIGN

PlayIn's glassmorphism interface features frosted glass cards, smooth gradient accents, and fluid animations. Every screen is crafted with attention to detail — from the animated splash screen to the spring-bounce favorite button.

PRIVACY FIRST — YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE

- No account required. No analytics. No tracking. No ads.
