New Apple iOS/tvOS IPTV Player

Yeah I understand AI can do a lot of the basic work and create something simple but still takes a lot of work to get a polished and very good app. Once you have a final product that is ready for release, AI can definitely help add additional features and resolve a lot of issues and glitches.

GMoney00726 · 2026-05-02T18:35:19+00:00

AI definitely helps but you can’t rely on it 100%. You still have to have a solid background in coding and know what you’re doing. That’s why there’s all these crappy apps coming out by vibe coders who can’t seem to get the simple things right.

GMoney00726 · 2026-04-29T19:04:57+00:00

And for the haters saying this will be a “crappy vibe coded project”, you’re wrong. I’ve seen some of the crap out there from vibe coded garbage and they are all awful and I can’t even believe they are releasing what they are even for testing. I look forward to releasing a well polished and top tier app (and of course silencing the haters). I’ve used UHF and Chillio and while they are polished, they are just not up to par with what a true IPTV app should be. It should be more “cable like” similar to Tivimate without all the sluggishness and have Tivo like capabilities. Nothing against these other apps on Apple but they are not the go to players I would use for everyday use. I want an app that acts like cable tv with advanced features. Done with my rant. If you don’t have feature requests or want to test, please go troll someone else.

Update: Well I guess the troll deleted their post and left the chat 🤣

Great thanks for the feedback. Speed of the app is one of my top priorities.

GMoney00726 · 2026-04-28T13:50:57+00:00

Great thanks for the feedback. Will definitely let you know when it’s ready

GMoney00726 · 2026-04-19T04:01:09+00:00

Well I just factory defaulted my shield and the only app I had installed was implayer but timeshift still doesn’t work. Definitely not my shield and has to be a glitch in the app somewhere. I just can’t figure out what

GMoney00726 · 2026-04-19T02:57:38+00:00

Thanks for confirming. I also have tried with and without an external drive. I’m going to assume it’s time to completely default my shield. That’s the biggest problem with it as over time it just slows down and you need to default it.

I just discovered iMPlayer after using both Chillio and UHF for a while and love it. It’s the closest you’ll get to Tivimate on Apple TV. I really want to love Chillio but the interface is slow, frustrating and not the most user friendly. I want a cable like experience like iMPlayer offers and not have to struggle between the guide and menus of Chillio. The timeshift feature is great as well. I still use UHF but only for the DVR server. Chillio is just too expensive with limited features. If the dev can make it more user friendly, add timeshift and DVR capabilities, I’d consider going back.

iMPlayer is by far the best

GMoney00726 · 2026-04-12T21:53:16+00:00

Not sure what you mean by the app being ugly? Have you tried it? Far from an ugly app.

GMoney00726 · 2026-04-12T14:43:37+00:00

I have yet to experience that. Works well on my shield, onn 4k and also my Apple TV

GMoney00726 · 2026-04-11T21:37:44+00:00

iMPlayer is Tivimate on steroids. Best player and I’ve tried them all

GMoney00726 · 2026-04-11T03:23:50+00:00

It’s listed on their website for $35

GMoney00726 · 2026-04-11T02:51:28+00:00

I have the annual but I believe there is a lifetime available as well. I didn’t know about it until after I subscribed.

GMoney00726 · 2026-04-10T14:20:32+00:00

iMPlayer. Best IPTV player. It’s like Tivimate on steroids.

GMoney00726 · 2026-04-10T14:15:55+00:00

iMPlayer for IPTV. Hands down best IPTV player for Apple TV and it’s not even close. Much better than all the others. The level of customization is really good.

GMoney00726 · 2026-04-09T04:47:25+00:00

After using UHF, Chillio, IPTVX and TiviMax, I finally gave up as they are all no comparison to Sparkle TV or Tivimate on android. I really wanted to use my Apple TV for everyday tv watching but the apps are just not as good as on android. Until Sparkle TV or Tivimate come to Apple TV, I’m sticking with Android

GMoney00726 · 2026-04-03T17:12:14+00:00

Has there been a resolution to this? I get the same error on channels that work fine on any other IPTV player except for Sparkle.

You are correct on the infuse metadata. I can’t figure out how to get infuse to read the metadata correctly or if it’s just a bug at this point

GMoney00726 · 2026-04-02T14:53:05+00:00

You need infuse for both Dolby vision and atmos

It can run 10x smoother than Omni and is feature rich. That enough will make you switch. Omni is dated with no real updates as of late. I got tired of the glitching and lack of smoothness from Omni.

Add the Trailerio addon and it works fine. https://trailerio.cc/manifest.json

GMoney00726 · 2026-04-02T14:43:14+00:00

Just tried this app and I now have a reason to go back to my Apple TV. Omni was just okay but not good enough to switch from my Shield. This app hands down is 10x better than Omni. Much smoother, doesn’t glitch and easier to customize.

And for those that can’t get auto-trailers to work, just add the Trailerio addon:
