About

Flux

Features
Read full description

Flux is a player for the IPTV subscription you already have. It connects to your panel β€” Xtream Codes or an M3U list β€” and lays out your channels, films and series like a properly built app, not a list of links. Flux provides no content. No channels, no films, no catalogue: the subscription is yours, and you alone reach it. WHAT FLUX DOES THAT OTHERS DON'T β€’ Skip the intro. Series title sequences are detected on your device, by comparing the sound of two episodes. No database, no server. β€’ Real quality. A file labelled "4K" often isn't. Flux opens the stream, measures its resolution, codec and bitrate, and tells you. When a film exists in several copies, it compares them and switches between them without starting over. β€’ Award winners. CΓ©sars, Oscars, Palmes d'Or: browse the winners and see at a glance which ones your subscription carries. β€’ Search for a person. Type "Coppola": their filmography appears, and what you own is marked. β€’ Ask in plain language. "a short thriller for tonight" β€” the search understands. Everything is worked out on the device. β€’ Pause live TV. Flux keeps the last few minutes, so you can rewind a channel that offers no such thing. β€’ Know why it failed. When a stream won't start, Flux tells you what the server answered and what it means β€” expired subscription, connection already in use, dead stream β€” instead of showing "error". AND EVERYTHING ELSE Offline downloads, a whole season or a single episode. Their progress shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. TV guide. Resume to the second. Favourites shared across all your subscriptions. Four channels at once. Parental controls. Adjustable subtitles. Sorting and shuffle. Viewing statistics. Incognito mode. Picture in Picture, Handoff, Spotlight and Siri shortcuts. Program reminders, and alerts when a new episode of a followed series appears. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU No Flux account. No Flux server. Your credentials live in the device keychain, your history stays on the device, your settings travel through your own private iCloud. Nothing is collected, nothing is sold. WHAT IT COSTS Twenty-four hours of trial, everything open. After that, a single purchase unlocks playback for good β€” no renewal, no expiry date. Browsing, searching, measuring your sources' quality and downloading stay free.
