Emileyt IPTV Player is a media player for playlists you already have. Add an M3U, M3U8, or Xtream Codes playlist on iPhone and iPad and watch live TV, movies, and series in a fast, organized player. IMPORTANT: Emileyt does not provide, host, or sell channels, movies, series, or IPTV subscriptions. You must add your own legally obtained playlist. The app is not affiliated with any content provider. ADD YOUR PLAYLIST • M3U / M3U8 URL • Xtream Codes API (server, username, password) • Import a local M3U file from the Files app • Play a single stream URL • QR setup: use this iPhone or iPad to send your playlist to a TV on the same network — no remote typing Large Xtream libraries open quickly because series episodes load only when you open a show.

LIVE TV, MOVIES, SERIES • Home screen split into Live, Movies, and Series • Search your whole library or the current list • Hide categories you never use and drag the rest into your order — even per profile • Favorites, including an entire category • Like / dislike and a For You tab based on category and title overlap • Continue watching and recently watched • Missing posters can be filled from public artwork metadata PLAYBACK • libmpv engine with optional hardware acceleration • Auto-reconnect if a live stream drops • VOD speed: 1x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 2x, 4x • Embedded subtitles • Chromecast where the stream allows it • Multi-View: 2 or 4 channels on one screen, layout remembered next time • Sleep timer and resume position EPG (TV GUIDE) If your playlist includes an EPG (or you add an XMLTV URL), Emileyt shows Now / Next on live channels, today's schedule, and a full program guide.
