Read full description

Bring your own playlist into a clean, focused media player. Better IPTV Player helps you open and organize streams from a source you already use and are authorized to access. Add an M3U or M3U8 address, import a local playlist file, or sign in with compatible Xtream credentials. The app does not include channels or a television service. A CLEARER LIBRARY Recognizable titles are grouped into live channels, movies and series. When season and episode information can be read from a title, episodes are arranged under their series and season. Because source naming varies, grouping is designed to help rather than promise that every entry will be identified perfectly. FIND AND PLAY Search your imported library instead of scrolling through every entry. During playback you can choose among audio and subtitle tracks when the source makes them available. Picture in Picture works on supported devices, and background audio lets compatible playback continue while you use another app or turn off the screen. YOUR SOURCE, YOUR CHOICE Better IPTV Player is built for personal playlists. You decide which authorized source to add, and you can replace or remove it when you want. M3U, M3U8 and Xtream-compatible access options make it practical to use the connection details supplied by your own provider. OPTIONAL PREMIUM Core playlist import and playback are separate from an optional Premium upgrade. Depending on the current offer, Premium can add favorites, watch history and a multi-device account. Availability and behavior can vary by platform and version. The current price, billing period, renewal information and cancellation controls are always shown in the store before purchase. PLEASE NOTE Better IPTV Player is a media player and organizer only. It does not provide, host, sell or recommend channels, movies, series, streams, TV or content subscriptions, or IPTV services. You must supply your own legally obtained source and have permission to view its content. The app is not affiliated with content providers, and it does not authorize viewing copyrighted material without the rights holder’s permission. Use Better IPTV Player when you want one straightforward place to import your own playlist, browse recognizable content groups, search the library and use the playback options exposed by your source and device.
