About

Interlace Player

Features
Read full description

Interlace plays your media server – Plex, Jellyfin or Emby – and your IPTV channels in a single, quiet interface. What you own and what is on air, in the same rails, the same search, the same player. WHAT IT DOES • One home: Continue Watching from your media server next to what is on TV right now. • A programme guide that groups your provider's channels, pins favourites and reads like a TV guide: now, next, tonight. • Plays what Plex struggles with: direct play for MKV, TS, Dolby Digital Plus, TrueHD and 7.1 through the built-in FFmpeg engine, with image and text subtitles rendered on the device. No transcoding on your server. • Made for the living room: the same app on Apple TV, laid out for the remote. Pick the Apple TV from your phone, and the phone becomes the remote. • Discover what is new on Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV+ and others with your own free TMDB key, and see where a title streams in your region. • Multiview: up to four live channels at once – the sound follows your pick, and on Apple TV any channel opens full screen and back. • Picture in Picture: keep a channel or film running in a corner while you watch something else. • Watch offline: download films and episodes from Plex, Jellyfin, Emby or your provider's catalogue (iPhone, iPad and Mac). Downloads continue in the background and pick up where they stopped. • Optional: connect Overseerr or Jellyseerr to request titles. WHAT YOU NEED • A media server, yours or one shared with you: Plex, Jellyfin or Emby. With Plex, remote streaming needs a Plex Pass on the server owner's account or a Remote Watch Pass on yours; on the home network it plays without either. Or skip the media server and use only IPTV. • For live TV: an M3U playlist or Xtream login from your own IPTV provider. Interlace ships no channels. What a playlist contains, and your right to watch it, is between you and that provider. PRIVACY • No account with us, no analytics, no tracking. Your credentials stay on the device and in your own iCloud keychain. INTERLACE PRO • Try everything free for 30 days. • Afterwards, watching needs Interlace Pro: 14,99 € per year (auto-renewing) or 39,99 € once. Browsing, the guide and search stay free. • One purchase unlocks iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac. Family Sharing included. • Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Interlace is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed or certified by Plex Inc., the Jellyfin project or Emby LLC.
