IPTVIA is the AI-powered media player for your M3U and Xtream Codes playlists. Bring your own subscription — IPTVIA turns it into a premium streaming experience, with AI search, smart recommendations, and sync across all your devices. WARNING: IPTVIA DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY PLAYLISTS IPTVIA is not a content provider. We do not sell, share, host, or provide any TV channel, movie, series, or playlist of any kind. IPTVIA is exclusively a player: it is designed to open the official M3U or Xtream Codes playlist provided by your own legal subscription or your internet/TV box provider. You must already own a legal subscription before using this app. IPTVIA has no relationship with any content or third-party provider. WHY IPTVIA? Most media players feel outdated: slow menus, zero personalization, zero intelligence. IPTVIA is different — the first player designed with real AI at the heart of how it works. KEY FEATURES AI-powered search Can't remember a movie's title? Just describe it — "the one where a guy keeps reliving the same day on a train" — and our AI finds it instantly, in any language. Premium, modern interface An elegant, intuitive design built for TV, mobile, and tablet — smooth animations, hover previews, and a Top 10 list that actually makes sense. True cross-device sync Start a movie on your phone, finish it on your Apple TV. Progress, favorites, watchlist, and profile preferences follow you everywhere, instantly. Family profiles and parental controls Up to 5 profiles per account, each with its own tastes and subtitle preferences. Set an age limit per profile: beyond it, the play button is simply disabled. A daily and weekly time limit can also lock the app until the next day or week. Live channels, full EPG, and picture-in-picture Full program guide, instant channel switching, favorite channels, and picture-in-picture support. Downloadable subtitles with sync adjustment Search and download subtitles in dozens of languages. Out of sync? Adjust the timing per title — IPTVIA remembers it for that movie or episode. Built for everyone Fully available in French, English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Arabic (full RTL support) — streaming shouldn't depend on where you live. Compatible with your existing subscription Full support for Xtream Codes and M3U formats — the two most common subscription types. Smart and fast Optimized thumbnail loading, instant search, a light and fast app even with massive channel lists. Personalized for you The more you watch, the smarter IPTVIA gets. Recommendations and "Because you watched..." suggestions adapt to your taste. WHO IS THIS APP FOR? IPTVIA is designed for anyone who already has a legal M3U or Xtream Codes subscription and is tired of outdated players. On phone, tablet, or Apple TV — IPTVIA gives your subscription the premium interface it deserves. GET STARTED Try IPTVIA free for 7 days. Connect your playlist in seconds and discover what a media player should really offer.
