About

IronTV

Read full description

IronTV is a clean, native player for the Xtream Codes IPTV service you already subscribe to. It ships with no channels and no content โ€” you provide the playlist URL from your own provider, and IronTV does the rest. FEATURES โ€ข One-step setup โ€” paste the M3U playlist URL your provider gives you; IronTV reads the server and your credentials from it and validates them. The playlist file itself is never downloaded. โ€ข Browse by category, see every channel at once, or jump to your Favorites. โ€ข Instant search across your whole channel list. โ€ข Reliable live playback with automatic reconnection: if a stream stalls or freezes, IronTV recovers on its own. โ€ข Broad format support โ€” channels that need it fall back to a built-in VLC engine, so more of your streams just play. โ€ข Full-screen viewing, remembers your last channel, and resumes where you left off. โ€ข Your account syncs privately across your devices through iCloud. Credentials are stored only in your Keychain โ€” never on any server of ours. โ€ข Tune buffering and reconnection to match your connection. IronTV is a media player only. It does not provide, host, or sell any channels, subscriptions, or content. You are responsible for the service you connect it to and for holding the rights to what you watch. Requires a subscription from a compatible Xtream Codes provider.

The picture freezes. The sound drops out, comes back, drops out again. Anyone who knows IPTV knows the ritual: switch away, switch back, reload. You know the frozen frame. Neverlag is built differently. KEEPS PLAYING We didn't guess why IPTV stalls. We measured it, stream by stream, over weeks. Neverlag is the result: up to a minute of the running programme held in reserve. If your provider drops out for a moment, the stream plays on from that reserve while the connection recovers. You see none of it. Neverlag reconnects only when the reserve runs low, and it tells you that it did. WHEN 4K WON'T COME THROUGH If the 4K stream keeps stalling, Neverlag switches to Full HD and says so on screen. One button takes you back to 4K. WHEN YOU SWITCH NETWORKS Wi-Fi to mobile data, home to hotel: the stream plays on from the reserve while Neverlag reconnects over the new network. If your provider still rejects the new connection because the old one is counted as active, you get the reason and a reconnect button instead of a black screen. KNOW WHOSE FAULT IT IS Every session is measured. When something does stutter, Neverlag says in plain words whether it was your provider, your network or your device, and a network test checks your line against a neutral server. A verdict only for what was measured: no issue, no verdict. SET UP APPLE TV FROM YOUR IPHONE No typing server addresses with the remote. Your Apple TV shows a code, your iPhone or Mac sends the credentials over your home network. ONE SUBSCRIPTION FOR ALL YOUR APPLE DEVICES Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple TV: one subscription, Family Sharing included. Favourites, tags and playback positions follow you via iCloud. GUIDE, RECORDINGS, MOVIES Seven-day guide with recordings straight from it, as far as your provider supplies programme data. Pause and rewind live TV; recordings go to local storage on Mac, iPhone and iPad, to network storage on Apple TV. Movies and series by genre with continue-watching positions; channels lockable behind a PIN. PRIVACY No account, no tracking, no analytics, no ads. Neverlag has no server of its own: credentials live in the Keychain on your device, measurements stay there too. PRICE The app is free. Demo mode is free. Setting up your own sources requires a subscription, monthly or yearly, cancel anytime. Prices for your country are shown in the app and under In-App Purchases on this page. Neverlag is a player. You need your own M3U playlist or credentials from an IPTV provider. Neverlag does not contain, deliver or broker any content.
