About

V Media Player

Features
Read full description

V Player plays live TV, movies and series from a streaming service you already subscribe to. The app contains no channels, films or accounts of its own: you enter the server address and login details your service gave you, and V Player becomes the player for it. HOW IT CONNECTS • Xtream Codes API: server URL, username and password • M3U playlist URL, with an optional XMLTV programme guide Several playlists can be saved and switched at any time. LIVE TV • Channel list by category, favourites, recently watched • Electronic programme guide (EPG) with what's on now and next • Catch-up for channels whose service keeps an archive • Channel search MOVIES AND SERIES • Posters, descriptions, ratings, cast and trailers where your service provides them • Series by season and episode, with "continue watching" and resume from where you stopped • Sorting by name, date added and rating PLAYBACK • Audio track and subtitle selection, subtitle size and colour • Aspect ratio and zoom • 4K and HDR where the stream and device support it • The screen stays on while video plays ALSO • Parental control with a PIN for chosen categories • Four languages: English, German, Turkish, Italian • Choose your Home layout, accent colour and background • iPhone and iPad LICENCE A new device gets a free 7-day trial. After that the device needs a licence, bought in the app: "1 Year License" (365 days, one-time purchase, nothing renews) or "Lifetime License" (one-time purchase, permanent). A licence belongs to the device it was bought on. The app shows a device ID and key under Settings so support can identify your device if you contact us. V Player is a player only. It does not provide, host or sell any channels or content. Playback requires an active subscription with a streaming service that offers an Xtream Codes API or M3U playlist, and it is your responsibility to use the app only with services you are entitled to use.
