About

APTVMAN

Features
Read full description

APTVMAN is a player for your personal media library. Connect a NAS you own or manage, then browse and play your existing movies, shows, and music on iPhone and Apple TV. Add an SMB, WebDAV, or Emby source and choose your video and music folders. APTVMAN reads your files and existing NFO files and artwork. When requested, it can use TMDB to fill in movie details. Playback progress, favorites, and settings stay on your device. The player supports a range of video, audio, and subtitle formats. Browse music by album, artist, or song. Protected spaces keep selected video folders separate from your regular library. The optional AI viewing assistant uses a provider you choose, with your own API endpoint, model, and key. It can suggest what to watch and help you review your library. You control what library context is shared. NAS addresses, login credentials, file paths, and video are never sent to the AI provider. APTVMAN does not provide, search, aggregate, host, or distribute movies, TV shows, or music. You need your own media files and access to your own server. There is no APTVMAN account, advertising, or in-app purchase. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
