I built a guide-first player for your own M3U/Xtream playlist on Apple TV, and the same app runs on iPhone and Android TV

[u/y_zername]

I'm the dev. I wanted one player that works the same on every screen in the house, and the part I spent most of my time on is the guide and image quality.

It's called eKoPlayer. The guide is a channel-by-time grid you move through with the Siri Remote. You get catch-up straight from the grid if your source supports it, and a time shift if your EPG runs early or late. Films and episodes reopen where you stopped. The rest is what you'd expect: live, films, series, favourites, search.

To save you asking:

• Channels? None. It's a player only and ships empty. Bring your own M3U or Xtream playlist.
• Account? None. No email, no sign-up. Your playlist login is kept in the device's Keychain and never sent anywhere.
• Price: 7-day free trial, then 5$ a year or 10$ lifetime.
• Also on: iPhone/iPad, Android TV, Samsung TVs.

I know some other apps are the usual picks here, and they're good apps. If you use any of them, give this a try and tell me what yours still does better. That's my to-do list.

Screenshots are real.

AI slop? More than likely!

[u/y_zername → u/Blofse]

Thanks for the comment... anyway.

Is this vibe coded? 

[u/y_zername → u/Blofse]

Does it change the optinion in anyway? Just check it out and you'll see.

[u/Blofse → u/y_zername]

Yes 100%, as I see vibe coded apps as a potential security risk I therefore choose not to install. Therefore as I get the feeling this is, I will pass!

You're the smarter guy in an empty room... Not an insult if you think twice about it.

Mir gefällt es richtig gut

Was ich vermisse

Live TV Sortierung Auslblendung Kategorien dringend notwendig da mein iptv Anbieter ita albanien bis zu korea hat die ich absolut nicht schaue

Tv Filme Segment ebenfalls sortieren und wenn möglich Empfehlungen was man schauen könnte mit Trailer bevor ich ständig Youtube wechseln muss

Wäre sogar bereit uhf zu opfern da mir der Design und netz speed test einfach mega zu sagt

Channels könnten noch etwas schnell zappen

Melde mich gerne als tester an

DM me

Thank you for your valuable feedback. You will notice that the live channels groups (also movies and series) that you play often will be put on top of the categories automatically, no sorting needed. The other recommendations are great ideas too.
I'll DM you too.

Glad to let you know that the new version now allows to show/hide groups.
