NextGen IPTV Player is a native media player and playlist organiser for iPhone and iPad. Connect your own M3U/M3U8 playlist or Xtream-compatible source to browse and play content you are authorised 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 PROGRAMME 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 programme 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 ORGANISATION Search Live TV, movies and series. Manage favourites, custom names, hidden content, playlists and profiles. Adjust playlist and EPG refresh settings. Additional playlist, profile, favourite 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, favourites, 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 cancelled. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings. CONTENT RESPONSIBILITY Use only sources you are authorised 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.
