SarmaPlayer is a media player only. It does not provide, include, host, supply or sell any channels, movies or other content — you bring your own playlist. Connect the Xtream Codes or M3U playlist you already own and watch Live TV, Movies and TV Shows on iPhone and iPad, in a clean, modern interface built for the couch and the commute. FEATURES • Live TV with a built-in EPG (now & next, full guide) and instant channel zapping • Movies and TV Shows with posters, seasons, resume and "continue watching" • Favorites across channels, movies and shows • Multiple playlists — switch and refresh right on the device • Dual playback engine (AVPlayer + VLC) for wide format support, plus AirPlay and Picture in Picture • Parental controls with a PIN and adult-category hiding • English, German and Croatian BRING YOUR OWN CONTENT SarmaPlayer supplies no channels or media of any kind, and none is bundled. You are solely responsible for the playlists and sources you choose to connect and for holding the rights to the material you access through them. The app is a neutral player, like a web browser for your own streams.
