Aura is a free, cross-platform IPTV media player. Bring your own provider — Xtream Codes, Stalker middleware, or a plain M3U playlist — and play your live channels, movies, and series on every device you own. WHAT IT DOES - Plays live IPTV channels via Xtream Codes, Stalker Middleware, or M3U. - Shows a 7-day Electronic Program Guide where your provider supplies one. - Browses Video-on-Demand libraries from your provider. - Continues watching where you left off, across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. - Saves favorite channels for one-tap access. ABOUT THE APP - No content included. Aura is a player — you bring your own IPTV subscription. Think of it like a browser for IPTV streams. - No ads. No paid tiers. Free and free of upsells. - No tracking of what you watch. Anonymous telemetry covers playback reliability only (how long until the first frame, how often a stream rebuffered) — never which channel or which program. - Provider credentials are stored locally in Keychain. They never leave the device. WHO IT'S FOR - Subscribers of IPTV resellers and middleware providers who want a consistent, fast, modern player across their phone, tablet, and Mac. - Resellers who want a clean, white-label-ready player to ship to their customers without writing their own. DISCLAIMER - Aura does not provide, host, broadcast, or include any TV channels, movies, series, or other media content. It is a media player only — comparable to a web browser or VLC. - You must add your own IPTV subscription, portal, or playlist. You are solely responsible for the content you access and stream through the app. - Aura has no affiliation with any IPTV provider, broadcaster, or content owner whatsoever. - We do not endorse or encourage the streaming of copyright-protected material without permission of the rights holder. PRIVACY - See https://auravision.live/privacy for the full policy. - See https://auravision.live/terms for terms of service. NEED HELP? - Email support@auravision.live — tap "Email support" in Device & Subscription to auto-attach a redacted diagnostics snapshot. Aura is built by XLNC AI GLOBAL PRIVATE LIMITED. Re-sellers can ship the app under their own brand — contact resellers@auravision.live.

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
