Your playlists.
Beautifully fast.

IPTV Player turns your own M3U or Xtream playlist into a cinematic home for live TV, a full TV guide, movies and series — designed for the big screen, the keyboard and the remote.

Free to use. Includes no channels or content — add your own playlist or subscription from a provider of your choice.

Home screen: a featured live channel with what is on now, an "On now" row of channels and a Top 10 row of movies
Live TV on Windows: channel groups, the channel list with what is on now, and a docked live preview with the schedule

What it is

A player for the playlists you already have.

IPTV Player is media player software. You add your own playlist — an Xtream Codes login or an M3U link or file from a provider of your choice — and the app makes it fast, organised and good-looking. We don’t sell, bundle or link to any content.

Bring your own playlist

Xtream Codes (server, username, password), an M3U/M3U8 link, or a file on your PC — plus the guide (XMLTV) that comes with it.

A player, not a provider

The app includes no channels, playlists or subscriptions. Only use content you have the right to watch.

Made for the big screen

A 10-foot interface where whatever has focus glows — just as good with a mouse on a desk as with a remote on the sofa.

A quick tour

Artwork is the interface.

Quiet menus, big pictures, and one step to play on every screen. Screenshots show the Windows app with synthetic demo data.

Live TV: groups on the left, the channel list with progress of the current programme, and a large preview with the schedule for the selected channel

Live TV

Channels, now and next — and a preview that plays.

Your playlist’s groups, cleaned up and numbered. Move through channels and the preview follows; press OK to go full screen.

  • Groups with clean names and language badges
  • What’s on now with a progress bar on every row
  • Docked live preview with the next programmes

TV guide

A guide that keeps up with 100k-item playlists.

Scroll hours and channels without a stutter. The now line, the details panel and the actions stay one key away.

  • Day pills, region and group filters, quick chips
  • Catch-up and reminders right from a programme
  • Live preview of the selected channel (Premium)

Movies & series

Your library, like a streaming app.

Movies and series from your playlist get posters, ratings, rows and detail pages — with the Play or Resume button always first.

  • Mood tiles, Top 10 in your library, recently added
  • Detail pages with seasons, episodes and More like this
  • Continue watching with progress everywhere

Built for big playlists

Fast where other players slow down.

Catalogs stream straight into an indexed local database, so even six-figure playlists browse instantly — with a small memory footprint.

Keyboard & remote

Every control is a key away.

The player works like a TV remote: arrows, OK and Back reach everything — the channel strip, menus, tracks, multiview. Mouse and wheel work too.
