About

YPlayer

Features
Read full description

YPlayer is a media player for the playlist you already have. It ships empty. There are no channels, no films and no series inside it, and no default playlist. Everything you see comes from the legal M3U link or Xtream Codes account you enter yourself, from a provider you already subscribe to. WHY IT PLAYS WHAT OTHERS WON'T Most players ship a single playback engine and give up when a format is unfamiliar. YPlayer carries two and moves between them on its own, so MKV, AC-3, DTS, HEVC and TS files play alongside ordinary HLS and MP4 streams. WHAT YOU GET • Two playback engines that switch automatically when a stream misbehaves • A TV guide with now-playing titles and a live progress bar • Parental controls — adult categories are hidden until you set a PIN • A separate profile for each playlist, so providers never mix • Resume where you stopped, favourites, Picture in Picture and AirPlay • Search across your films, series and channels at once YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE There is no account and no analytics of our own. Playlists, watch history and credentials never leave your iPhone; Xtream passwords are held in the iOS Keychain. PREMIUM Premium removes ads. Without it, playback begins after a single rewarded ad, and if that ad cannot load the app lets you straight through rather than making you wait. Premium is an auto-renewable subscription offered weekly, monthly or yearly; payment is charged to your Apple Account and renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU ADD We have no relationship with any provider and supply no content of any kind. You are responsible for adding only legal sources, and for holding the rights or a valid subscription to view them. Do not use YPlayer with content you are not authorised to access.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: YPlayer at 3.7 against IPTV Player's 3.1. IPTV Player's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 11 days). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
