Nothing is sent to us. If you turn on iCloud sync, they travel through your own iCloud account to your other devices and nowhere else.

Read full description

m3u Studio — плеер и органайзер для ваших IPTV-плейлистов. Загрузите собственный плейлист в формате m3u или m3u8 — и смотрите каналы во встроенном плеере с телепрограммой, логотипами и удобным избранным. ЧТО УМЕЕТ ПРИЛОЖЕНИЕ • Плеер HLS: быстрый запуск канала, переключение вперёд/назад, полноэкранный режим, продолжение звука в фоне. • Телепрограмма (EPG): что идёт сейчас и что дальше — прямо в списке каналов и в плеере. • «Основное»: соберите личную подборку каналов и расставьте её в своём порядке простым перетаскиванием. • Порядок в плейлисте: группы каналов, поиск дубликатов, переименование, статистика качества плейлиста. • Логотипы каналов подтягиваются автоматически. • Планы просмотра: отметьте передачу — в начале эфира придёт уведомление. • Экспорт: готовый плейлист можно выгрузить в .m3u8 и использовать где угодно. • Тёмная и светлая тема, русский и английский язык. ВАЖНО m3u Studio не предоставляет телеканалы и контент. Приложение работает только с плейлистами, которые вы добавляете сами, — как медиаплеер для ваших ссылок. Все данные хранятся локально на устройстве.
