Vizi Player is a player for the playlist you already have. It comes with nothing — no channels, no catalogue, nothing to browse until you connect something. A small demo library is built in so you can look around first; everything in it is invented. What it does is play the playlist you point it at properly, with the kind of interface the content deserves. BRING YOUR OWN PLAYLIST Add an Xtream Codes login or an M3U URL and Vizi does the rest: live channels grouped the way your playlist groups them, films and box sets with posters, ratings, runtimes and plots, and a search that looks across everything at once. Add as many playlists as you like, free, and browse them together. LIVE TV, WITH A GUIDE Where your playlist supplies a guide, a full programme guide with now and next for every channel it covers, laid out as a grid of the hours ahead. Xtream logins bring theirs automatically; an M3U playlist uses the guide it names, or a guide link you add. Where an Xtream playlist offers catch-up, you can scroll back through the week and watch what you missed. FILMS AND BOX SETS Posters at a glance or a tighter list view, sorted newest first or however you prefer. Series remember which episode you were on, and films pick up where you stopped. A PLAYER THAT DOES THE JOB Two engines under the bonnet, so formats that defeat other players still open. Aspect controls, a screen lock for pockets, and a mini player you can drag away without losing your place. Picture in picture works with everything, live TV included. With Vizi+, watch on your TV with AirPlay or Screen Mirroring. FROM ONE DEVICE TO ANOTHER Already set up on one phone or iPad? Send its playlists to another with a short code or a QR code, encrypted so that only the device you are sending to can read them. A code signs a device in to your Vizi account, too. YOURS, OFFLINE Download films and episodes to watch without a connection. Record live television while Vizi is open — Keep Screen Dark lets it carry on with the phone in your pocket. FOR THE HOUSEHOLD Kids profiles that show only what you allow, with a PIN you control. Parental controls on the rest. VIZI+ The free version is supported by adverts. Vizi+ removes them and unlocks: • Downloads and live TV recording • The full TV guide and catch-up • Favourites, continue watching and your own collections • Kids profiles and parental controls • Picture in picture, live TV included • Multiview: up to four things at once, side by side • Sending several playlists to another device at once • Watching on your TV with AirPlay • Theme colours and a matching app icon • Volume boost to 150%, Clear voice and Night sound presets • Subtitle size and a dark box behind subtitles • Double-tap to skip, autoplay, and Keep playing while you browse Or pay once for Vizi+ Lifetime: every current Vizi+ feature, plus five Lifetime themes (Silver, Gold, Obsidian, Damascus and Cosmic, each with its own logo and app icon) and any colour you like from a colour wheel, for as long as Vizi runs. Or watch one advert for an hour of most Plus features — downloads, recording and theme colours excepted, and the app tells you that before the advert starts. HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT IS Vizi has no real content of its own and no way to find any — only the invented demo library, so you can see how it works before connecting anything. You are responsible for having the right to watch whatever you connect it to, and that is a condition of use rather than a disclaimer in a footer. Accounts are optional, and nothing about what you watch ever reaches us. The free tier's adverts come from Google. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in Settings › your name › Subscriptions. Vizi+ Lifetime is a single payment.
