## What is Playlane?

Playlane is a clean, private player for the playlists you already have. Add your own M3U or M3U8 playlist or your Xtream Codes login, and watch on your iPhone or iPad in seconds.

Playlane includes no channels, films or other content and does not sell or recommend any. You bring your own sources, and you are responsible for having the right to watch them.

YOUR PLAYLISTS, ORGANISED
• Live channels with a TV guide (now and next), favourites and instant search
• Programme reminders (Pro): tap the bell on an upcoming programme and get a notification before it starts.
• Match finder (Pro): follow a team or a show from Search and see when it's on next in your TV guide.
• Movies and series with posters, seasons and resume where you left off
• Add a source by link, QR code or Xtream login; a demo playlist of open test streams gets you started

A PLAYER THAT DOES NOT GIVE UP
• Automatic reconnect when a stream drops
• A second playback engine for MKV, AVI, AC3, DTS and other formats the standard player cannot open
• AirPlay, Picture in Picture, background audio and subtitles
• Watch on your TV: Chromecast and AirPlay from the player. If your TV only plays the sound, Playlane tells you to use Screen Mirroring.

MADE FOR ARABIC AND ENGLISH
• Full right-to-left layout, Arabic typography and search that understands both scripts
• Also available in French, Spanish, Turkish and German

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no ads, no tracking
• Playlists and passwords stay on your phone; Xtream passwords live in the iOS Keychain
• Crash reports can be turned off in Settings and never include links or credentials

PLAYLANE PRO (optional)

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.5 — 2026-11-09

Sharper and easier to organise:
• 4K channels: channels that played only sound in 4K now show the picture. Playlane switches to its second player by itself and remembers it for each channel.
• Reorder favorites: tap Edit on Favorites and move channels, movies and series up or down.
• Support ID in Settings > About, so we can find your crash report faster when you write to us.
• Fixes and stability improvements.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-11-06

Watch on your TV and never miss a programme:
• Chromecast: tap the cast button in the player to watch on your TV.
• AirPlay: when your TV can only play the sound, Playlane now tells you to use Screen Mirroring, and mirrored playback works better.
• Programme reminders (Pro): tap the bell on an upcoming programme and get a notification 5 minutes before it starts.
• Match finder (Pro): follow a team or a show from Search and see when it's on next.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-11-04
