About

Figimi IPTV Player

Features
Read full description

Figimi is a media player for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Point it at a playlist you already have and it handles the rest: large catalogues, awkward file formats and a proper program guide. Figimi supplies no channels, films or series of its own. You add your own playlist or portal login, and the app plays it. ADD YOUR OWN PLAYLIST • M3U and M3U8 playlist URLs, and direct HLS stream addresses • Xtream Codes logins, with live, movies and series as separate sections • Portal and MAG logins, with paging built for libraries of 100,000+ entries • Optional XMLTV guide URL and custom User-Agent • Save several playlists and switch between them anytime Useful for public playlists, your own media server or NAS, internet radio, and any stream you are entitled to play. LIVE CHANNELS DONE PROPERLY • Full channel list with the categories from your playlist, plus favourites • Program guide showing what is on now and what is up next • Instant search across the whole list • Channel switcher while you watch, no need to go back MOVIES AND SERIES • Poster grids with categories and search • Episode picker for series, season by season • Continue Watching, with resume or start over when you return • Your position is kept even if the stream reconnects PLAYS WHAT OTHER PLAYERS REFUSE Many on-demand libraries store files as Matroska, which the system player cannot open. Figimi bundles a software decoder for exactly those cases, so an .mkv film plays with hardware-accelerated decoding instead of failing. WATCH YOUR WAY • Pick any audio track or subtitle the stream carries • Your preferred audio and subtitle language is remembered • Picture in Picture, so playback follows you around the system • Background audio and full system media controls • Keyboard shortcuts and fullscreen on Mac BUILT FOR UNRELIABLE STREAMS Streaming hosts throttle, stall and drop connections. Figimi detects a stalled stream, reconnects, and returns to the same position instead of starting over. Buffering adapts to whether you are watching live or on demand. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-up, no profile • Playlist logins are stored in the system Keychain, device-only, never synced • No advertising SDK, no analytics SDK, no tracking • Your playlists never leave your device, and never reach us FAMILY CONTROLS Lock any category behind a PIN. Locked titles show a badge and ask for the code before they play. TRY IT BEFORE ADDING ANYTHING On first launch, a built-in demo catalogue plays immediately using public test streams, so you can see how the player behaves before adding a playlist of your own. FIGIMI PREMIUM (OPTIONAL) Every playback feature is free. The optional subscription simply removes in-app promotional prompts. It does not unlock playlists, formats, quality or any player capability. • Monthly: $2.99, with a $0.99 first month for new subscribers • Yearly: $27.99 Prices shown are for the United States store; you pay in your local currency at the price your App Store displays. One subscription covers iPhone, iPad and Mac. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription. IMPORTANT Figimi is only a player. It does not host, index, resell or redistribute any content, and it is not affiliated with any content source. The app cannot know what a playlist contains before you add it, and you are responsible for using only playlists and streams you are authorised to access.
