IPTV Prime plays the IPTV service you already subscribe to ā it does not supply any channels, movies or shows of its own. Connect an Xtream Codes portal, an M3U/M3U8 link, a local playlist file, or pasted text, and IPTV Prime organizes it into a proper app: live channels with a scrolling TV guide, movies and series with search, and favourites. INCLUDED FEATURES ⢠One playlist with manual sync and 24 hours of guide data ⢠Xtream Codes API, M3U/M3U8 URLs, local files or pasted playlists ā auto-detected ⢠Live TV guide across the whole day, with catch-up/replay where your provider offers it ⢠Movies and series with posters, search and resume-where-you-left-off ⢠Favourites, watch history and reminders on this device ⢠Subtitles: search and download for movies and series ⢠Picture in Picture, AirPlay and full-screen playback ⢠Built for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV OPTIONAL IPTV PRIME PRO ā IN-APP PURCHASE IPTV Prime Pro is a separate purchase.
