What AnyTV actually does.

M3U and M3U8, as a remote URL or an imported file, with as many playlists as you want to add.

Paste the link your provider gave you. Add it once in the app or in your account and every device picks it up on its next sync.

Server, username and password, live channels, films, series and the guide load automatically.

Include the port if your provider uses one, and keep the http:// or https:// prefix.

Portal address, MAC and time zone, including catch-up from the portal archive.

Several well-known players do not support Stalker at all. If that is what your provider issued, this is one of the reasons to be here.

Your own server's libraries, sitting in the same Movies and TV Shows tabs as everything else.

Chapter markers from Plex and Jellyfin feed Skip Intro where they exist.

SMB, DLNA/UPnP, WebDAV and WebDAVS, FTP and SFTP.

Point AnyTV at the share and it walks the folders. Well-named files match to the right artwork and episode automatically.

Your provider's guide, or your own XMLTV URL per playlist, with a time offset when the guide and your zone disagree.

Where a channel and a guide entry do not line up, match them by hand once; the match syncs to your other devices.

Merged into one library rather than a switcher. Add a second provider and it simply appears.

A real grid with now and next, per-programme detail, and channel-number surfing.

Bring the guide up over what you are watching and change channel without leaving it.

Live channels usually supply a title and nothing else. AnyTV looks the programme up so the guide can show a poster or a still.

It falls back to the channel logo when there is no confident match, rather than showing the wrong show's art.

Play a programme that has already aired, wherever your provider carries an archive.

Build your own channel from your own library, on a schedule, and it appears in the guide with now and next like any other.

Live channels side by side with audio from whichever you choose, four tiles on capable hardware, two on lower-powered devices.

AnyTV picks the ceiling the device can actually hold rather than offering a layout that stutters.

Fixtures, live scores, lineups, statistics and events, then one tap to the channel in your own sources carrying the match.

The channel matching happens on your device. Your playlist is never sent anywhere for it.

A match score on the Lock Screen, the Dynamic Island and the Home Screen without the app open.

Posters, backdrops, synopses, cast, crew and ratings, matched from the names your provider used.

Seasons and episodes with stills and descriptions, including, if you want, the episodes your source does not carry, greyed out.

Scores from external ratings providers on the titles you open.

Watch a trailer before you commit to the film.

Open an actor or director and collect everything of theirs across every source you have connected.

Several qualities of the same film collapse into one entry with a version picker, and the version you chose is remembered.

One press past intros and recaps, from chapter markers where they exist and learned from what you skip where they do not.

A title matched to the wrong record is correctable in two taps, and the correction syncs to your other devices.

Corrections are contributed anonymously, keyed to the item's name rather than to you, so a confirmed fix improves the match for everyone whose provider names things the same way.

Override a title, a poster or a description locally when you would rather it read your way.

AVPlayer, VLC and KSPlayer. A stream that stutters on one often plays cleanly on another, and switching is a setting rather than a reinstall.

Shrink playback into a floating window and carry on browsing, or leave the app entirely and keep watching.

Sound continues with the screen off.

Send playback to an Apple TV, an AirPlay display or a Chromecast target.

Watch together over FaceTime, in sync.

Start on iPhone and pick it up on iPad from the Dock; find a title from system search.

Ask for something by name, or build a shortcut around it.

Tracks from the stream, plus external subtitle search for films and episodes, with size, colour, background and position under your control.

The language you chose is remembered and follows you to your other devices.

Raise the forward buffer when a connection is unsteady, smoother playback in exchange for a slightly slower start.

Ten-second skip, variable speed, double-tap to seek.

Films and episodes in the quality you pick, playable with no connection at all.

A whole season in one action, and new episodes downloaded automatically as they appear.

Reorder it, prioritise what you are about to need, and let interrupted transfers resume themselves.

Wi-Fi only or cellular, per download or as a default, with an eye on the battery.

Progress, speed and time remaining on the Lock Screen.

See what is taking room, protect downloads from accidental deletion, and export to the Files app.

Separate watch history, favourites, lists and preferences for each person.

Choose which sources and which content each profile can even see.

A PIN, unlocked with Face ID or Touch ID on iPhone and iPad, or approved from your iPhone on Apple TV.

Repeated wrong PINs slow down before the next attempt.

Adult categories hidden from browsing, from search and from playback, on every device the profile appears on and not just the one you set it up on.

Up to six separately verified members, three devices each, everyone with their own account and their own library.

A code emailed to you, or a passkey. There is no password to choose, forget or have stolen.

The TV shows eight characters; your phone or any browser approves them. Scan its QR code on iPhone and you type nothing at all.

Sign in on a new device and your sources, profiles, favourites and progress come back, without re-entering a single provider login.

Progress, favourites, lists, hidden channels, renames, category order, sorting, subtitle and audio choices and chosen versions.

Buy on Apple and it works on Android, and the other way round. Neither store can see the other's purchase; your account bridges it.

Provider logins are encrypted on your device before they are uploaded. Your devices can read them; we cannot.

See every connected device, rename them, disconnect one, and choose whether it keeps your library or erases it.

Sources, categories, channels, profiles, family and security, all at me.anytvapp.com. Far faster than a remote control.

Cut a forty-thousand-entry playlist down to the part you watch, in bulk, without editing the playlist.

Give a category or a channel the name it should have had.

Put what you actually watch at the top, and arrange the sections of each tab.

Favourites for what you return to; named lists for everything you are keeping track of.

Default order per media type, by name, by date added, by rating, or exactly as the playlist supplies it.

Scrobble what you watch to Trakt, whether it came from a playlist, a server or an add-on.

Light and dark, an accent of your choosing, and a collection of alternate app icons.

The app and this website, in the language you actually use.

None, on any tier, ever. No advertising identifiers either.
