NextGen IPTV Player is a native media player and playlist organizer for iPhone and iPad. Connect your own M3U/M3U8 playlist or Xtream-compatible source to browse and play content you are authorized to access. NextGen does not supply channels, movies, series, playlists or IPTV subscriptions. A compatible content source is required. Purchasing NextGen Pro unlocks app features; it does not include media content or a content subscription. LIVE TV AND PROGRAM GUIDE Browse channels by category, switch between List, Grid and EPG views, and open streams in full screen. View Now and Next information, browse schedules and create program reminders where supported. Guide availability and accuracy depend on your provider or compatible XMLTV source. MULTIVIEW WITH NEXTGEN PRO Watch up to four live channels at once on iPhone and iPad. Switch audio between channels, replace streams and expand a channel to full screen, with layouts for portrait and landscape. Multiview requires compatible streams and enough simultaneous connections from your content service, typically one per channel. Your provider's connection limits still apply. With fewer connections, streams may buffer or pause while NextGen reconnects them. MOVIES, SERIES AND PLAYBACK Browse movies, seasons and episodes with available artwork and metadata. Resume unfinished content through Continue Watching and keep track of playback progress and watched status. Choose automatic playback-engine selection with fallback or a manual engine preference. Select available audio and subtitle tracks, seek supported on-demand streams and use Picture in Picture with compatible playback. Formats, tracks, seeking, PiP and up to 4K playback depend on the stream, device and network. SEARCH AND ORGANIZATION Search Live TV, movies and series. Manage favorites, custom names, hidden content, playlists and profiles. Adjust playlist and EPG refresh settings. Additional playlist, profile, favorite and content-management capabilities require NextGen Pro. OPTIONAL ICLOUD SYNC With NextGen Pro and iCloud Sync enabled, sync supported app data, including playlist connections, profiles, favorites, hidden content and playback progress, across your Apple devices. Availability depends on your Apple ID, iCloud settings and network. Media files are not included in this sync. FREE AND NEXTGEN PRO Free access includes core playlist browsing and a cumulative two-hour playback evaluation. NextGen Pro removes the playback evaluation limit and unlocks Multiview and additional app features described above. Available packages, local prices and billing periods are shown before purchase. Restore Purchases is available inside the app. Auto-renewable subscriptions renew unless canceled. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings. CONTENT RESPONSIBILITY Use only sources you are authorized to access. Your content service's terms, rights and connection limits apply. NextGen does not grant rights to third-party content or bypass access restrictions.

Why you’ll love it - Effortless navigation: Four clear tabs—Live TV, Series, Movies, Settings—let you jump straight to what you want. A smart category drawer and powerful search help you find channels and titles instantly. - Gorgeous design: A refined glass look gives cards, lists, and overlays a premium, award‑ready feel. Everything is readable, responsive, and easy on the eyes. - Smooth, reliable playback: Start watching quickly and switch between available qualities. Subtitles and alternate audio tracks are supported when provided by your source. - Beautiful TV guide: See what’s on now and what’s coming next with an elegant program ribbon and quick peeks at details, times, and descriptions. - Built for big playlists: Handles large libraries with ease thanks to thoughtful loading and smart image caching—scrolling stays fast and fluid. - Favorites and history: Star your must‑watch channels, movies, and series, and quickly return to recently played items. - Bring your own artwork: Logos and posters from your provider are displayed and cached to keep browsing snappy. - Privacy first: No accounts, no tracking, no hidden services. Your sources and history stay on your device. - Thoughtful details: One‑tap refresh, category memory per tab, and a clean Settings area that makes adding, editing, and switching playlists simple. - Helpful support: A built‑in Support page lets you describe issues, include your playlist link (with the option to sanitize sensitive parts), and contact us directly. - Services in Movies and Series: when your provider names categories after a streaming service, the titles in them are grouped under that service so you can browse them together. - Made for big screens: on iPhone Duo unfolded and iPad, watch a live channel beside the channel list and see movie and series details beside the grid. How it works - Add your own playlist link (commonly shared by legitimate providers) and, if available, an EPG guide link. - JamRun IPTV organizes your content into Live TV, Movies, and Series, preserving the provider’s original ordering and categories. - Use search and the category drawer to narrow results without losing the provider’s structure. Designed for iPhone - Optimized for iOS with a dark, cinematic look and intuitive gestures. Important - JamRun IPTV does not provide, host, or promote any playlist URLs, channels, or content. The app is a media player for user‑supplied playlists only. - You are solely responsible for the content you access and for complying with all applicable laws, terms, and licenses in your region. Whether your playlist spans a few channels or thousands of titles, JamRun IPTV turns it into a fast, elegant, and enjoyable experience—placing design, performance, and your control front and center.
