About

Sotto IPTV Player

Read full description

Sotto is a media player for your own playlist. It contains no channels, films or series, sells no subscription packages and provides access to no content. You decide what it plays: add the M3U address or Xtream details you got from your provider, and the app plays it properly. Two engines, one app. Each stream opens with the engine that suits it — the system player for HLS, a VLC-based engine for TS and MKV. The choice is automatic; the player's Technical screen shows which engine is running and lets you change it. Search at the speed you type. Results arrive while you type, even in lists of a hundred thousand channels, with Turkish folding: typing "turkce" finds "Türkçe". Channels, films and series, each in their own place. Sort films and series alphabetically or by when they were added, see what you have already watched, and keep a list of what you want to watch. Anything you left half-finished resumes where you stopped, or starts over with one tap. Film and series pages show the synopsis, director, cast and other details your provider gives. Programme guide. If your provider publishes one, you see what is on now and what is next. If it does not, the app says so plainly rather than pretending. Made for iPhone and iPad. On iPad it takes a layout of its own; on a phone it works one-handed. Send a stream to your TV with AirPlay, or keep watching in picture-in-picture while you do something else. An account is optional. Playback works fully without one, for free, and the only thing that reaches us is anonymous daily technical counts, which you can switch off in Settings. An account exists only to keep your sources, favourites and playback positions the same across your devices. It does not watch you. No ads, no tracking identifier, no third-party measurement. Only technical counts such as stalls and start-up time reach us, never which channel or film you watched. The connection is made directly with your provider; the app never records, downloads or converts a stream. Privacy: https://sottoiptv.com/en/privacy.html Terms: https://sottoiptv.com/en/terms.html
