FULL PROTOCOL SUPPORT MultiviewTV combines two playback engines in a single app: • AVFoundation for HLS and DASH (HTTP/HTTPS) • GStreamer 1.28 for RTSP, RTSPS, RTMP, RTMPS, SRT, UDP/RTP, and MMS The engine is selected automatically based on the URL type, or you can force one manually from Settings. SOURCE MANAGEMENT Import your content from: • M3U playlists by URL, with real-time download progress tracking • Full Xtream Codes API: live channels, video on demand (VOD), and series with seasons and episodes Browse by category, search channels by name, sort content, and explore thousands of sources from a clean and fast interface.

You can also promote any player to the primary slot with a single tap. Supports iOS Picture-in-Picture. SMART STREAM DETECTION Before playback begins, the app probes the stream to detect the codec, resolution, content type, and available tracks. Using that information, it automatically selects the best engine and renderer to ensure the optimal experience. CONFIGURABLE DECODING Adjust how video is decoded to suit your needs: • Hardware VideoToolbox: maximum performance and energy efficiency • Automatic VideoToolbox: hardware with software fallback • FFmpeg software: ideal for interlaced or problematic streams
