UPlayer8 is a video player for watching TV channels, movies and series with your own streaming provider account. It works on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac. UPlayer8 does not provide content. The app contains no channels, movies or series. You enter the account details given by your provider (server address, username and password) or an M3U playlist URL, and the app only plays those streams. Without an account from a legitimate provider, the app has no use for you.

It starts with a 3-day free trial; cancel before the trial ends and you will not be charged. Demo content (openly licensed films by the Blender Foundation) can be watched without a subscription. The subscription renews automatically at the same price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. You can manage the subscription and turn off auto-renewal in your App Store account settings. Any unused portion of the free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
