Cobi Player

Read full description

Cobi Player is a fast, native media player for YOUR OWN IPTV or M3U service. The app does not contain, provide, host or sell any channels, streams, movies or subscriptions. You connect your own service using an Xtream Codes login or an M3U playlist. WHY COBI PLAYER Built because other players are slow and cannot filter by country. Cobi Player loads categories on demand instead of pulling tens of thousands of entries at once, so browsing stays instant even on huge playlists. And when a provider stream stalls, the player notices and reconnects on its own instead of leaving you on a frozen picture. XTREAM OR M3U An Xtream Codes login gives you everything your provider offers: live TV, movies, series, the programme guide and catch-up. With an M3U playlist every entry appears as a live channel in its own group - that is how the playlist format works, not a limit of the app. FEATURES - Xtream Codes login (live TV, movies, series, EPG, catch-up) OR M3U playlist (live channels, URL or file) - Multiple profiles for several accounts - Filter by country - order in huge channel lists - Live TV with EPG (now and next), catch-up and timeshift; the Apple TV guide also restarts the programme running right now - Movies and series with posters, ratings, plot and trailers - Pick the audio and subtitle track while watching - Favourites in folders (Pro) - channels, films and shows together - Customize your lists (Pro) - hide the countries, categories and channels you never watch, pin your favourites to the top - Sleep timer, speed 0.5x-2x and audio/subtitle sync (Pro) - Move your account to the Apple TV with an 8-digit code (Pro), device to device over your own network, instead of typing it with the remote - Sync across devices (Pro) - favourites, folders, history, resume positions, your customised lists and settings stay the same on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, through your own iCloud - Resume where you left off, plus a recents list - Fast search across section, country and category - Picture in Picture and background audio (iPhone and iPad) - Decide how often the catalogue refreshes, from 6 hours to manual only - Adult categories hidden by default, behind an 18+ confirmation and a PIN you set, with three auto-lock modes - 15 languages, switchable in the app - Preview mode with freely licensed demo streams, no account needed PREVIEW MODE No service yet? Tap "Watch Preview Without a Server" on the welcome screen. It plays openly licensed test content (Blender Open Movies, CC-BY), so you can explore the app first. FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL UPGRADE Everything you need for watching is free: live TV, movies, series, EPG, catch-up, search, resume, multiple profiles, marking favourites and choosing the audio or subtitle track. The free version shows ads. Cobi Player Pro is a single in-app purchase - no subscription, no account. It removes all ads permanently and unlocks four things: folders for your favourites, customizing your lists, the player extras (sleep timer, speed and audio/subtitle sync), and keeping all of that in sync across your devices. Undoing never costs anything: showing hidden items again, resetting, turning sync off and deleting what it stored all work without the purchase. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, and more Pro features are coming. PRIVACY No account and no analytics of our own - and you choose whether the ads may be personalised. Your credentials are stored only on your device in the iOS Keychain and are sent solely to the server you configure. The device sync runs through your OWN iCloud - we never see it, and it never carries your password. IMPORTANT Cobi Player is a player only. No subscriptions, channels or content are offered or sold. You need your own legal service from a third-party provider. The provider and the user alone are responsible for the content and its legality. Adult categories are hidden by default and only appear after an age confirmation and PIN entry.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: IPXTV at none against Cobi Player's shown. IPXTV also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
