Photon Player vs The Modern IPTV

Photon is a native player for the library you already own. Connect your media servers, your cloud and network storage, and your Live TV subscription, and everything you can watch appears in one place — on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac, from a single purchase. YOUR OWN LIBRARY, TOGETHER • Works with Jellyfin, Emby, Plex and Silo • Connect a server free, or as many as you like with Pro. Home and Search bring them all together; the Library tab keeps each source's own shelves separate, so you can still ask what is on one server. • Play straight from an SMB, NFS, FTP or WebDAV share, a UPnP server on your network, or Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive, with no media server at all • Live TV from an Xtream Codes subscription: a full program guide, favorites, and a channel list built for thousands of channels • Open a video from Files or the Finder and it becomes a title like any other — with a resume point, artwork and a name you can match against your servers AS IT WAS MADE • Dolby Vision and HDR, with AVPlayer driving the display for real HDR output • MKV and 4K play as they are. Nothing is quietly downscaled or re-encoded behind your back. • Dolby Digital Plus with Atmos passed through untouched; TrueHD and DTS-HD decoded losslessly rather than folded to stereo • Subtitles drawn as overlays, never burned into the picture • Standing choices for audio language, subtitle language, and when subtitles should come on at all • Skip intros and credits, and go straight into the next episode EVERYWHERE YOU WATCH • Download for offline with Pro. Transfers carry on while you are elsewhere, with a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and a notice when a title lands. • Handoff picks a film up on the next device at the frame you left it • Spotlight opens a title directly • Top Shelf on Apple TV, a real menu bar on the Mac, and one design across all four platforms BUILT FOR THE PLATFORM Written in SwiftUI for iOS, tvOS and macOS, with full Dynamic Type, VoiceOver labels on every control, and Reduce Motion respected throughout. There is no account to create and no service of ours in the path: Photon talks to your servers and to your own iCloud, and to nothing else. PHOTON PRO The free app is the whole player: one media server and one Live TV subscription, every drive and network share, and every format — 4K, MKV, Dolby Vision, TrueHD and DTS — with browsing, search, Handoff and SharePlay, no advertising and nothing to sign up for. Pro adds: • Every source at once: as many servers and Live TV subscriptions as you like, together in Home and Search • Downloads, for watching offline • AirPlay to an Apple TV or any AirPlay screen • Your servers, settings and the way you have arranged Home, on every device you sign in on Available monthly, yearly, or as a one-off Lifetime purchase, with a free week on either subscription. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac. Photon plays the media you already have on servers and storage you control. It is an independent client and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Jellyfin, Emby or Plex.

Modern IPTV is a player for the IPTV service you already subscribe to. It contains no channels, films or shows of its own. WHAT YOU NEED BEFORE IT WILL PLAY ANYTHING 1. An account with an IPTV provider. You buy that from the provider, not from us. We do not sell, host, bundle or supply any channels, films, shows or playlists, and none come with the app. 2. A Modern IPTV membership, sold here as an in-app purchase. Free for your first year, then $1.00 per year (or the local equivalent). Without both of the above, there is nothing for the app to play. The screenshots show the app signed in to our own demo service: its films are Blender Studio's open movies (© Blender Foundation, CC BY, studio.blender.org), and everything else in it is invented. LIVE TV, DONE RIGHT • A real guide: every channel you get with what's on now and next, hours ahead, on one screen • Browse by category, keep favorites, and jump back to recent channels • Search live shows by name and see when and where they air • Reliable playback, even for streams that other players stumble on MOVIES AND SHOWS • Artwork, cast, ratings and details, matched automatically to what your provider carries • Up Next picks up right where you left off, on every device • Seasons and episodes laid out so you can just press play • Plays the formats providers actually use, including MKV • Ask about any title and get an answer on your device from Apple Intelligence YOUR TEAMS • Follow your teams across football, basketball, baseball, hockey and soccer, from major leagues to college and European competitions • See who's playing, when, and which of your channels has the game • Optional game reminders. Never marketing. EVERY APPLE DEVICE One membership works on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro. Sign in with Apple on one device and your login, favorites, teams and progress follow you through iCloud. Apple TV signs in by scanning a code with your iPhone, so there's nothing to type with the remote. Siri and Shortcuts can open your channels and shows. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads, no tracking, no analytics. Your provider login stays in your devices' Keychain and your own iCloud. We run no servers and never see what you watch. ABOUT THE MEMBERSHIP The membership is what you buy from us, and it unlocks the app itself, not any content. It is free for your first year, then $1.00 per year. That dollar covers Apple's yearly developer fee, and it is the only reason there is a price at all. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when the free year ends. It renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it anytime in your App Store subscription settings; you keep access until the period ends.
