MiluTV plays your IPTV lists in M3U or Xtream Codes on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. One app, your content, no ads on the free tier. SmartView: one entry per movie, no matter how many versions exist A typical Xtream feed lists the same movie multiple times (EN, FR, PT, ES, HD, 4K). SmartView matches each entry to TMDB and merges them into a single card. One line per movie or show, language and quality picked in a tap. Up to 60% fewer items, and each card enriched with TMDB images and details (overview, ratings, year, genres, ...). Kids Mode: an age-filtered catalogue, profile locked by PIN code Child profile, free for everyone. The catalogue is filtered by age range from a dedicated classification database, maintained by MiluTV. The parent sets the maximum age and locks Kids Mode with a PIN code. While Kids Mode is on, live TV is limited to the channels the parent has picked, no free browsing. Player Native player for smoothness or VLC for demanding streams. Live channel zapping straight from the player, switch instantly from one channel to the next. Picture-in-Picture and background audio available.
