About

Cobi Player

Read full description

Cobi Player is a fast, native media player for YOUR OWN IPTV or M3U service. The app does not contain, provide, host or sell any channels, streams, movies or IPTV subscriptions. You connect your own service using an Xtream Codes login or an M3U playlist. WHY COBI PLAYER Built because other players are slow and cannot filter by country. Cobi Player loads categories on demand instead of pulling tens of thousands of entries at once, so browsing stays instant even on huge playlists. And when a provider stream stalls, the player notices and reconnects on its own instead of leaving you on a frozen picture. XTREAM OR M3U An Xtream Codes login gives you everything your provider offers: live TV, movies, series, the program guide and catch-up. With an M3U playlist every entry appears as a live channel in its own group - that is how the playlist format works, not a limit of the app. FEATURES - Xtream Codes login (live TV, movies, series, EPG, catch-up) OR M3U playlist (live channels, URL or file) - Multiple profiles for several accounts - Filter by country - order in huge channel lists - Live TV with EPG (now and next), catch-up and timeshift - Movies and series with posters, ratings, plot and trailers - Pick the audio and subtitle track while watching - Favorites in folders (Pro) - channels, films and shows together - Customize your lists (Pro) - hide the countries, categories and channels you never watch, pin your favorites to the top - Sleep timer, speed 0.5x-2x and audio/subtitle fine-tuning (Pro) - Move your account to the Apple TV with an 8-digit code instead of typing it with the remote - Sync across devices (Pro) - favorites, folders, history, resume positions, lists and settings, through your own iCloud - Resume where you left off, plus a recents list - Fast search across section, country and category - Picture in Picture and background audio (iPhone and iPad) - Decide how often the catalog refreshes, from 6 hours to manual only - 15 languages, switchable in the app - Preview mode with freely licensed demo streams, no account needed PREVIEW MODE No service yet? Tap "Watch Preview Without a Server" on the welcome screen. It plays openly licensed test content (Blender Open Movies, CC-BY), so you can explore the app first. FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL UPGRADE Everything you need for watching on iPhone and iPad is free: live TV, movies, series, EPG, catch-up, search, resume, multiple profiles, marking favorites and choosing the audio or subtitle track. The free version shows ads. Cobi Player Pro removes all ads and unlocks four things: folders for your favorites, customizing your lists, the player extras (sleep timer, speed and audio/subtitle fine-tuning), and keeping all of that in sync across your devices. Choose a yearly subscription or a one-time purchase - the same Pro either way, no account needed. If Pro ends, your folders and customized lists are switched off, not deleted: they come back with Pro. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, and more Pro features are coming. On Apple TV, your own service is free for 7 days and then needs Pro. The yearly subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the year ends; manage it in your Apple Account settings. Pro unlocks app features only, no content. PRIVACY No account and no analytics of our own - and you choose whether the ads may be personalized. Your credentials are stored only on your device in the iOS Keychain and are sent solely to the server you configure. The device sync runs through your OWN iCloud - we never see it, and it never carries your password. IMPORTANT Cobi Player is a player only. No channels, content or IPTV subscriptions are offered or sold. You need your own legal service from a third-party provider. The provider and the user alone are responsible for the content and its legality.
