V Media Player
Read full descriptionHide 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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: V Media Player at every 3 weeks against WATCHVIM's every 2 months. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
