IPTVS
Read full descriptionHide full description
IPTVS is a general-purpose media player and organizer for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV. IPTVS does not provide, sell, curate or grant access to any channel, playable catalog, media service, playlist, subscription or provider account. The app contains no preset playback endpoints. It plays only titles and streams from sources that a user manually enters and is authorized to use. BRING YOUR OWN AUTHORIZED SOURCE Connect one or more M3U/M3U8 playlists or Xtream-compatible servers that you have the legal right to access. The source chosen by the user supplies all channels, playable movie and series titles, guide data and streams. IPTVS does not select, broker or resell that material. ORGANIZE SOURCE METADATA Create separate lists for channels, movies and series. Pin useful categories, hide others and prioritize the regions that matter to you. Search the metadata supplied by your connected sources and see a clear source label on each item. Movie and series discovery can use public metadata and rankings from TMDB to show views such as Trending, Popular, Top rated, regional Now playing and On the air. These views contain only titles safely matched to a playable movie or series already present in your own sources. TMDB does not provide streams or unlock any title. The local catalog index and TMDB cache contain metadata only. They do not store media, credentials or private playback URLs. GUIDE AND PLAYBACK Browse now and next when your source supplies EPG information or you add an XMLTV URL. Replay is available only when the user's authorized Xtream source explicitly supports TV archive. IPTVS does not download or export media for offline use and does not provide file sharing. For compatibility with some source formats, the app may temporarily remux an active stream into short HLS fragments served only to the local player over the device loopback interface. These temporary playback fragments are not exposed to the user and are removed when playback ends. SYNC YOUR SETUP When iCloud Sync is active on devices using the same Apple Account, IPTVS can keep source setup, favorites, custom lists, movie and episode progress, preferred regions, subtitle language and selected settings in step. Credentials are stored with Apple Keychain where supported and with encrypted fields in the user's private iCloud database for cross-device access. Private playback URLs and credentials are not stored in watch history. FREE TO DOWNLOAD After a user adds an authorized source, IPTVS currently applies no daily playback limits. Use as much as you want. Feel free to support the development with optional Premium. No media, stream or provider access is included with either tier. The app contains no third-party advertising SDK. Only connect sources and play material that you have permission to use. Terms of Use (Apple Standard EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
Antena Play

Antena Play is a MEDIA PLAYER. It plays the list you already have, as smoothly as a real streaming app. The app does not provide, recommend or host lists or channels. TWO WAYS, ONE APP Bring your own list Connect with an Xtream panel (username and password) or an M3U/M3U8 URL and watch with a player that lives up to it: live TV, movies and series with posters and synopses, search across everything, continue watching and favorites. The content source is always yours — Antena Play only plays it. Or explore the free catalog, no list needed No list? Jump in with no sign-up and no card to a hand-picked collection, with its legal basis documented title by title: • Open 4K short films from the Blender Foundation • Independent films and documentaries under Creative Commons licenses The catalog is alive: it grows without you having to update the app. What it includes varies by country, because public-domain status depends on each country's law. FREE • Live TV from your list • The whole free catalog • Search across everything, favorites and organized sections • Duplicate SD/HD/FHD/4K channels merged into a single item, with quality switching in the player • Picture in Picture and AirPlay ANTENA PLAY PRO (optional) The subscription unlocks PLAYER FEATURES, never content — the free catalog is free forever and no plan gives access to any channel: • Play the movies and series from your list • Multiple lists, with quick switching • Program guide • Parental controls and kids mode • App themes and personalization • Up to 5 screens on the same account The subscription belongs to your Antena Play account, not to the device: sign in with the same account and Pro comes with you. Plans: monthly, semiannual and yearly, auto-renewing at the same price until you cancel, and lifetime, a one-time purchase. The price is shown in the app before purchase, in your store's currency, and charged to your Apple Account when you confirm. Renewal is charged within the 24 hours before the end of the period; cancel anytime in Settings > your name > Subscriptions, at least 24 hours before renewal. NO ADS No ads getting in the way. TRANSPARENCY AND LEGALITY Antena Play is a media player, like the video player on your computer: it opens what you tell it to open. The legality of added lists is the sole responsibility of whoever adds them. The free catalog comes only from legal sources: works in the public domain, productions under open licenses and public channels retransmitted with authorization or license. Credits: Blender Foundation and the authors of each film (Creative Commons) Your lists and their credentials stay only on your device.
