Vela is a fast, private player for your own IPTV subscription, on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, signed in with an Xtream login or an M3U playlist. Bring the login or playlist your provider gave you and Vela turns it into a library you can actually navigate: categories you can filter and favourite, a TV guide for your channels, and playback that handles the formats other players choke on. • Signs in with an Xtream login, or an M3U or M3U8 playlist by link or from Files, with its XMLTV guide • A TV guide grid: your channels against the clock, wherever your provider publishes listings • Search that finds it as you type: partial words, actors, genres (Vela Pro) • A match score on the titles that fit you, with the parts of your taste it rests on, and picks that learn what you like, all worked out on your device and never uploaded (Vela Pro) • Pick three genres when you first open Vela, if you like, and match scores show from day one (Vela Pro) • On Apple TV too: Home opens on your top pick and the Siri Remote changes channel. One Vela Pro covers iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV • Categories you can search and star, not just scroll • Plays what iOS normally cannot: Matroska, AVI, HEVC, AC3 and DTS audio • Subtitle and audio track selection • Picture in Picture, AirPlay and background audio • Cast to your TV: AirPlay, Google Cast and DLNA TVs, with your phone as the remote • Continue Watching, recently watched channels, favourites, and next-episode playback • Takes far less space, and on iPhone and iPad your favourites, Continue Watching, taste and starred categories are in your device backup. Account > Storage shows Library cache and Your data, with Clear cache • In 12 languages: English, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Turkish, Japanese, Korean and Chinese • Credentials kept in the Keychain, on your device, and Account > Privacy > What Vela sends lists each server the app talks to, what goes to it and what never leaves your device Vela includes no content, no channels and no provider. You need an existing subscription with a provider: an Xtream-compatible login or an M3U playlist. Vela Pro unlocks search, recommendations with match scores on the titles that fit you, and playback without breaks. A 14-day free trial starts when you add your login or playlist. Vela Pro Yearly is USD 14.99 per year, Vela Pro Monthly is USD 2.99 per month, and Vela Pro Lifetime is USD 29.99 once. Without Pro, browsing and playback stay free, and playback pauses for a moment every 10 minutes. Vela Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, billed monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
