Turn any M3U playlist or Xtream Codes account into real TV. UniPlayer plays your IPTV and OTT streams on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV — with a full programme guide, catch-up archive and 4K playback. Add your playlist once. It syncs to every device on your account, along with your favorites, your channel order and everything you've hidden. M3U AND XTREAM CODES: Load an M3U or M3U8 playlist by link or file, or sign in with the Xtream Codes details from your provider. Channels and categories load automatically, along with the TV guide when your provider supplies one. FULL TV GUIDE: A built-in EPG shows what's on now and what's next, on every channel. Prefer your own guide? Attach your own EPG source to any playlist. CATCH-UP ARCHIVE: Pause live TV. Rewind to any moment. Restart a programme that's already halfway through. Archive depth comes from your provider — UniPlayer shows exactly how far back each channel goes. SPORTHUB: Football fixtures matched to the channels in your own playlist. See what's on today, tap, watch. Spoiler-free mode hides scores until you're ready. CHOOSE YOUR ENGINE: Standard for fast startup and Picture in Picture. VLC for 4K, H.265, audio track selection and deinterlacing. The Custom engine adds HDR, hardware decoding and Auto Frame Rate. Set it per playlist or per channel. YOUR CHANNELS, YOUR ORDER: Mark favorites, drag them into the order you want, hide the categories you never watch. An 800-channel playlist becomes the twelve channels you actually use. WHAT TO WATCH: Not sure what to put on? UniPlayer suggests programmes and films worth watching right now, based on their ratings. PARENTAL CONTROL: Lock channels and categories behind a PIN, so children only reach what you've allowed. PREPAID CREDITS, NO SUBSCRIPTION You top up credits only when you want, no auto-renewal. One credit is used per day and covers up to 4 devices. Each extra device slot adds 0.25 credit per day. Credits are used every day while your balance is above zero, even on days you don't watch. New accounts get 30 free credits (about 30 days) at sign-up, so add your IPTV playlist right away. SUPPORT THAT ANSWERS: Written by the people who build the app. team@uniplayer.net IMPORTANT: UniPlayer does not provide any channels, streams or playlists. It is a player — you add your own M3U playlist or Xtream Codes account from your own provider, the same way you would open a file in any media player. Channel logos, artwork and trademarks belong to their respective owners.
