OtusTV brings all your media together in a cosy living room, on Apple TV, iPhone and iPad. OtusTV is a player: it provides no content. Add your own sources — an M3U playlist, an IPTV subscription, your Jellyfin, Emby or Plex server, or your internet box's channel list — and OtusTV takes care of the rest. A CATALOGUE THAT'S FINALLY TIDY • Live TV, Movies and Series, sorted by category, in your languages. • A Top 10 of the moment: the films and series everyone's talking about this week, found in your catalogue. • Posters, synopses and ratings in your language, with your free TMDb key. • Several sources at once: duplicates are merged into a single tile, even across providers, and the version in your language comes first. • Search all your sources in one go. • Favourites, and "Continue" right where you left off. LIVE TV, JUST LIKE TV • Animated previews: the channel you stop on comes alive, and playback starts instantly. • Your subscription's or playlist's own guide loads by itself, no address to hunt for. • Programme guide grid, plus catch-up when your source supports it. • On Apple TV, national channel numbering and a number pad: type 2, you're on channel two. • Zapping strip during playback; on iPhone, the picture on top and your channels below. • Reminders before your shows and matches. ROCK-SOLID PLAYBACK • 4K, HDR, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos with Apple's player. • Built-in fallback player for formats Apple TV and iPhone can't play on their own (MKV, AVI…). • Automatic reconnection, and a switch to another stream if the first one doesn't respond. • Audio tracks and subtitles remembered from one title to the next. • On Apple TV, a "Signal" panel tells you whether your connection keeps up with the stream. • On iPhone and iPad, download movies and episodes from your Jellyfin, Emby or Plex server to watch offline — on Wi-Fi only, by default. EASY TO SET UP • On Apple TV, add a source by scanning a QR code with your phone: nothing to type with the remote. • Your subscriptions' status at a glance: expiry date, active connections. • Your sources follow you from one device to another and stay backed up in your iCloud, if you wish. • Sleep timer. YOUR PRIVACY, RESPECTED No account, no ads, no trackers. Your passwords stay in your device's Keychain, and only go through your iCloud if you turn source sharing on. Parental control with a PIN for adult categories. FREE, OR OTUSTV+ OtusTV is free with one source, with no ads: playback, search, favourites, parental control and what's on now included. OtusTV+ adds multiple sources, the full programme grid, catch-up and reminders, iCloud sync of your favourites and resume points, and seasonal themes: Otus changes outfits with the seasons and holidays. Monthly, yearly or lifetime — one purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period, at the displayed price, unless cancelled at least 24 hours before it ends, from your App Store account settings. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The lifetime option is a one-time payment with no renewal.
