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 IPTV 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 program 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 - Movies and series with posters, ratings, plot and trailers - Pick the audio and subtitle track while watching - Favorites in folders (Pro) - channels, films and shows together - Customize your lists (Pro) - hide the countries, categories and channels you never watch, pin your favorites to the top - Sleep timer, speed 0.5x-2x and audio/subtitle fine-tuning (Pro) - Move your account to the Apple TV with an 8-digit code instead of typing it with the remote - Sync across devices (Pro) - favorites, folders, history, resume positions, lists and settings, 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 catalog refreshes, from 6 hours to manual only - 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 on iPhone and iPad is free: live TV, movies, series, EPG, catch-up, search, resume, multiple profiles, marking favorites and choosing the audio or subtitle track. The free version shows ads. Cobi Player Pro removes all ads and unlocks four things: folders for your favorites, customizing your lists, the player extras (sleep timer, speed and audio/subtitle fine-tuning), and keeping all of that in sync across your devices. Choose a yearly subscription or a one-time purchase - the same Pro either way, no account needed. If Pro ends, your folders and customized lists are switched off, not deleted: they come back with Pro. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, and more Pro features are coming. On Apple TV, your own service is free for 7 days and then needs Pro. The yearly subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the year ends; manage it in your Apple Account settings. Pro unlocks app features only, no content. PRIVACY No account and no analytics of our own - and you choose whether the ads may be personalized. 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 channels, content or IPTV subscriptions 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.

Log the time. Know when you'll finish. OmniLog keeps your games, books and shows in one library, and keeps track of the thing other trackers forget: your time. Start a session when you pick something up, end it when you put it down, and OmniLog learns your real pace. Then it tells you when you'll finish, and what fits the evening you actually have. ◆ WHAT FITS TONIGHT • Tell Up Next how much time you have (15 minutes, an hour, two) and it puts what fits first. • Library loans that are due and shows leaving a service go to the top, so nothing slips away. • Plan the week: set a nightly time and see what you can finish by Sunday. ◆ KNOW WHEN YOU'LL FINISH • Finish forecasts from your own sessions: "about 7 hours left, at your usual 45 minutes a night you finish Oct 19." • Games start with a typical time to beat until your own pace takes over. • Your pace and your usual sitting, worked out for you. ◆ PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF • Add one line when you end a session, typed or spoken. • "Previously on…": a spoiler-safe recap written from your own notes with Apple Intelligence (OmniLog Plus). ◆ ONE LIBRARY FOR EVERYTHING • Games, books, shows and movies with covers, lengths and genres filled in for you. • Every episode of every season, with real titles. Mark the next one in a tap. • Where to watch, prices and leaving dates for your region. • Add anything: search, scan a whole shelf with the camera (OmniLog Plus), share a link from Safari, or import a CSV or export file from the app you use now. • Collections for what's leaving soon, favorites and what you've borrowed. ◆ YOU RARELY NEED TO OPEN THE APP • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. • A Live Activity timer on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. • Control Center, Siri and Shortcuts: "Start a session in OmniLog." • NFC tags: stick one on a game case or a book and tap to start or stop. • An Apple Watch app with a complication. • iPad, and iPhone Duo with a two-page layout and a tabletop timer. ◆ YOUR YEAR, IN REAL HOURS • Stats by day and by kind, this month and all year. • A year in review built from the time you actually spent. ◆ PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account. No ads. No tracking. No analytics. • Your library lives on your devices and syncs through your own iCloud, which we can't read. • Searches send only a title, to look up its cover and details. • Daily backups to your iCloud Drive, and a full export whenever you want it. ◆ FREE, WITH OMNILOG PLUS FOR MORE Your whole library, sessions, Up Next, finish forecasts, widgets, Apple Watch, Siri, Live Activities, iCloud sync and export are free. OmniLog Plus adds: • "Previously on…" recaps • Start-next picks explained by Apple Intelligence • Scan a shelf to add it all at once • Release radar alerts: out today, now on a service you pay for, cheaper to rent • Share your year in review • Watch together: what fits you both tonight OmniLog Plus is available as a monthly or yearly subscription. The yearly plan includes a one-week free trial for new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings. Some features use Apple Intelligence and need a compatible device.
