Liquid IPTV vs Melyro

Liquid IPTV plays your own playlist on your iPhone and iPad. It arrives with no channels and no content. You add an M3U link and, if you have one, an XMLTV guide. Everything below exists to make that list pleasant to watch on a screen you hold. MADE FOR YOUR THUMB Four tabs and nothing to hunt through: channels, guide, favourites, settings. Tap a channel and it opens with the picture at the top and its schedule under it — what is on, what is next, and the rest of the day. Turn the phone and the picture takes the whole screen; one tap brings the bar back, and from it the channel list slides in down one side and the guide down the other, both over the picture without stopping it. Swipe the player down to put it away. ON IPAD The line-up down the left, the list in the middle, and the channel playing beside it with its schedule underneath — so changing channel never means leaving the page. Type to find a channel anywhere in the list. YOUR PLAYLIST, READ PROPERLY Most playlists carry more than a web address, and a player that ignores the rest simply fails to open half of them. Liquid IPTV reads the User-Agent and Referer a channel asks for, headers written as #EXTHTTP or hung off the end of the URL, and the Kodi-style properties that name a manifest type or a licence. THREE PLAYBACK ENGINES AVPlayer for HLS, which iOS decodes in hardware. libVLC for what AVPlayer will not open: DASH, MPEG-TS, multicast over a relay, and audio no Apple decoder handles. And LiquidPlayer, built on FFmpeg, which asks for the hardware decoder on every tune and falls back to software only when iOS refuses it — which is what keeps a phone cool on the interlaced channels most relays carry. PICTURE IN PICTURE Leave the app and the picture follows you into a corner of the home screen. Lock the phone and the sound keeps going. ENCRYPTED CHANNELS A channel that carries its ClearKey in the playlist plays: the app decrypts it and hands the result to the engine. A channel behind a licence server does not, and cannot — an Apple TV decrypts FairPlay and nothing else, and no IPTV playlist ships a FairPlay key. The player says so in a sentence rather than showing you a black screen, and the bar marks an encrypted stream as DRM. THE GUIDE A real timeline, not a list of now and next: six half-hour columns opening on the hour, your channels down the side, and the arrow keys walking through both. Any programme takes a reminder, and the reminder arrives over the picture with a frame from that channel behind it. ON THE HOME SCREEN Switch it on and the television's own home screen carries two rows of your channels — on now, and your favourites — each tile showing the last frame the app saw. Press one and the channel opens. THE DETAILS A TELEVISION NEEDS Three ways to lay out a channel list: rows, groups, or a grid. Audio delay, for when the sound runs ahead of the lips. Four aspect ratios. Resolution, frame rate, audio and DRM on the bar, with bitrate and every track in a panel behind it. A udpxy relay for multicast, an HTTP proxy, and a DNS server of your choosing. Twelve languages: English, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Thai, Swedish and Russian. FREE AND PRO Every feature is in every copy. Nothing is locked away, and a licence does not switch anything on — what it buys is time. Without one, playback is limited; Pro removes the limit, as one year or as a lifetime licence. NO CONTENT INCLUDED Liquid IPTV is a player, not a service. It carries no channels, no streams and no subscriptions, and it is not connected to any provider. What you watch is whatever your own playlist points at, and having the right to watch it is yours to arrange. Liquid IPTV Pro (one year) renews automatically at the price shown unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel it in Settings > Users and Accounts > your Apple Account > Subscriptions. Privacy Policy: https://liquid.close.vn/privacy

Melyro is a media player designed to let you watch your own authorized sources, simply and quickly. Melyro doesn't provide any content. There is no built-in channel list, movie archive, provider directory or catalog of any kind in the app, and Melyro does not sell channels or content subscriptions. What you watch is decided only by the sources you add yourself and have the right to use. WHAT IT DOES • Adds your own M3U playlist from a file or a URL • Signs in with the server address, username and password your provider gave you (Xtream-compatible login) • Opens the movies and series on your own Jellyfin or Emby server • Brings your live streams, movies and series together in one layout, and picks up where you left off • Offers the next episode as one ends; it can move on by itself • Hides, reorders and renames the channels in your own list • Shows what's on now and next, and a schedule for each channel • Changes channel without leaving the player: the next channels sit right under the picture • Searches your channels, movies and series • Refreshes your source whenever you ask • Puts the categories you choose behind a PIN • Shows a subtitle file you bring for a movie • Sends to your TV with AirPlay, an external display or Chromecast • CarPlay: live channels, movies and series on your car's display. Video plays only in cars that support video in CarPlay, and only while parked (iOS 26.4 or later) • Picture in Picture and background audio • English, German and Turkish DESIGN A dark, calm, content-focused interface. Upright, the picture sits at the top with the controls and channels right under it; on its side, the picture fills the screen. Dynamic Type and Increase Contrast are supported. PRIVACY Melyro has no servers and no accounts, shows no ads and does no tracking or analytics of its own. Your sources stay on your device, with passwords in the Keychain, and are sent only to the provider you specify. If you turn on iCloud Sync (Pro), they sync through your own iCloud account. Purchases are checked by Apple and RevenueCat, with no name or e-mail attached. Google's Cast SDK is embedded for Chromecast support and collects data under its own privacy notice. MELYRO PRO Optional Melyro Pro unlocks: • Catch-up and starting the programme on air from the beginning (where your provider supports it) • Programme reminders and your own TV guide (XMLTV) address • iCloud sync: favourites, where you left off, channel arrangement and sources across your devices; pick up on another device where you stopped • More than one source, with one-tap switching • Player extras: sleep timer, playback speed, remembered audio and subtitles • Arranging Home, alternate app icons and accent colours It is offered as a monthly or yearly subscription (the yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial) or a one-time lifetime purchase. Pro provides or unlocks no content. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically for the same period and price unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel subscriptions in your App Store account settings.
