Your IPTV library, ready to play. MADPLAY is a player for the live TV, movies and series supplied by your own IPTV account. Sign in with your provider's server address, username and password using Xtream Codes. Browse your library with clear categories, search for a title or channel, and save favourites to My List. Continue Watching helps you return to movies and episodes with saved playback progress. Explore seasons and episodes, and choose whether the next episode plays automatically. Watch live channels with programme information when your provider supplies a TV guide. Choose available audio and subtitle tracks, and resume or seek through supported on-demand streams. MADPLAY is free to use, with no in-app purchases or MADPLAY subscription. It does not include channels, films, shows or an IPTV subscription. You must supply an account from a provider you are authorised to use; that provider may charge separately. Content, guide information, stream availability and playback features depend on your provider and its media. Your sign-in is stored in the device Keychain and sent to the IPTV server you choose. With the same iCloud account and IPTV subscription, My List and viewing progress can sync between iPhone and Apple TV. Your IPTV password is not synced. Image and media services receive the requests needed to display your library and play your streams. MADPLAY automatically looks up title artwork using TMDB through a developer-hosted service. No TMDB account or key is needed. Provider artwork remains the fallback when a title cannot be matched.
