The Intelligent IPTV Player

Your source.
One intelligent player.

IPTVIQ organizes and plays the IPTV sources you already have — Xtream Codes, M3U, XMLTV, and Stalker/MAG/Ministra — with a native, profile-aware player built for how households actually watch.

Requires a source you're already authorized to use. IPTVIQ does not include, sell, or supply any channel or content. See the macOS page for requirements and details.

Live TV & Guide

Channel surfing that respects your time.

Category browsing, instant numeric channel entry, Recall for the last channel you watched, and a mini-EPG overlay so you always know what's on without leaving the stream.

Catch-up & DVR

Rewind live TV. Record what you're authorized to keep.

Where your provider supports it, watch a programme from its start or step back through recent broadcasts. Manual DVR recording saves a live stream you already have rights to watch, to a folder you choose.

Catch-up availability depends entirely on your provider — IPTVIQ never fabricates archive content. Recording is a personal time-shifting tool, not a redistribution feature; you're responsible for your own rights to the content you record.

Multiple sources

One app, every source you actually use.

Add and switch between Xtream Codes, M3U/M3U8, XMLTV guides, and Stalker/MAG/Ministra portals side by side, each with independent Direct/HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 proxy routing for connection and media traffic.

Profiles & Kids

One household. Separate, private viewing.

Each family member gets their own profile, history, and favorites. Kids profiles enforce an approved-content-only policy everywhere in the app — Home, Search, Guide, and playback — not just on the surface.

Multiview & Smart Recovery
Smart Recovery & Multiview

Real resilience. Two streams at once.

A brief connection drop shouldn't end the stream — IPTVIQ's watchdog detects real playback stalls and reconnects automatically. Multiview lets you watch two channels side by side.

Smart Recovery is deterministic reconnect/watchdog logic built into the player — not an AI feature, and not a claim of unlimited resilience against a genuinely unreachable source.
Why IPTVIQ

More than playback.
Built around how you actually watch.

A basic M3U player opens a stream. IPTVIQ organizes every source you add into one coherent, profile-aware library — with the guide, continuity, and household controls a real media app needs.

Full, detailed breakdown on the Features page. "Provider-dependent" means the capability is real and implemented, but whether it works for you depends on what your specific IPTV source supports.

How it actually works

From your source to your screen.

01
Your authorized source

Xtream account, M3U playlist, XMLTV guide, or Stalker/MAG portal you already have access to.

02
IPTVIQ imports

Categories, channels, EPG, and VOD metadata are parsed and organized locally.

03
Organized catalog

Live TV, Guide, Movies, and Series — searchable, favoritable, profile-aware.

04
Native playback

A resilient player with Smart Recovery, Multiview, and optional DVR.

IPTVIQ never hosts, redistributes, or supplies the content itself at any stage — it organizes and plays what your own source already serves. More diagrams (Live TV → EPG → Catch-up, multi-source browsing, profiles) on the How It Works page.
