Xtream Codes and M3U

Channel Lists on iPhone: Your Lists and the source’s categories

Channel Lists

Your own lists come first: favourites, recent channels, your playlists, the categories you pin, and any XMLTV guide you add as a list of the channels it covers. Then Teevo Lists, folded: your region’s main channels and lists for Sport, News, Kids and Films. Favourite, hide, rename or find any channel by its name or number. Sort any list by number, name, what you watched last or favourites first, filter it to HD, channels with a guide or favourites, and move any list into Teevo Lists or out of them, by dragging it or with the remote.

Needs a provider that offers catch-up.

  • Apple TV
  • Mac
  • iPad
  • iPhone

Saved for Catch-up

Save programmes from the guide to watch later on catch-up.

These are bookmarks, not recordings: playback depends on your provider’s catch-up.

Films & Series

  • Apple TV
  • Mac
  • iPad
  • iPhone
The director’s page on Apple TV: Known For and Directed

More from the Director

A film’s page has more from its director and a series’ page more from its creator, marked Director or Creator, beside More Like This and more with the lead actor.

Teevo Home on iPhone: Continue Watching, recently watched channels and Open Movies posters

  • Apple TV
  • Mac
  • iPad
  • iPhone

Ask in Your Own Words

Search for “something like Slow Horses but lighter”, and a Suggestions row picks titles from the catalogue.

Not available in Arabic.

  • Mac
  • iPad
  • iPhone

Previously On

A line above a series’ episodes offers a recap of the last one you watched. Choose it, and a few sentences are written on your device from its subtitles.

Written from subtitles, so some details may be wrong. Turn recaps off on the card or in Settings → Films & Series. Needs the episode’s subtitles with your copy or from a subtitle add-on, and isn’t available in Arabic.

  • Mac
  • iPad
  • iPhone

Sort and Filter

  • Apple TV
  • Mac
  • iPad
  • iPhone

Playback

The Player menu on iPhone: Automatic, with Apple Player and Native unable to play MKV, and VLC

Three Players

Apple Player, Native and VLC. On Automatic, each film or episode goes to the player that plays its format best.

  • Apple TV
  • Mac
  • iPad
  • iPhone
Sintel playing on Apple TV with the player controls

Audio and Subtitles

Set your languages once, and the right sound and subtitles are chosen. Subtitle files beside your videos and from add-ons are found too, in the style you choose.

  • Apple TV
  • Mac
  • iPad
  • iPhone
Skipping settings on iPhone: skip buttons, Skip Automatically and Learn Intros and Credits

Skip Intro and Next Episode

Skip intros, recaps and credits, and the next episode starts after a countdown. Where your source doesn’t mark them, intros and credits are learned on your device from the music episodes share.

Learning takes a few episodes and doesn’t work with every stream. In VLC it needs a file on your device or a provider that allows more than one connection. Turn it off in Settings → Playback → Skipping.

  • Apple TV
  • Mac
  • iPad
  • iPhone

Subtitles When There Are None

Where a film or episode has no subtitles in your language, Teevo writes them from what’s said, and can translate them, on your device.

In Native and VLC, and not with every stream. VLC needs a file on your device or a provider that allows more than one connection. Translating needs both languages downloaded on your device.

  • Mac
  • iPad
  • iPhone

Previews While Scrubbing

Moving through a film or episode shows a still of where you’ll land.

Where your provider allows only one connection, the picture itself moves instead.

  • Apple TV
  • Mac
  • iPad
  • iPhone

Speed, Sync and Sleep Timer

Play from 0.5× to 2×, nudge sound or subtitles into step, and stop at the end of the film or episode.

  • Apple TV
  • Mac
  • iPad
  • iPhone

Picture in Picture and AirPlay

Keep watching in a small window while you use other apps. On iPhone and iPad, send the picture to an AirPlay TV.

In Apple Player and Native, not VLC.

  • iPad
  • iPhone

  • Apple TV

Mac

Teevo’s Mac player window playing Big Buck Bunny

Player Window

What you play opens in its own window and goes full screen. Space, the arrow keys, J, K and L, M, F, I and C work as in the TV app, all listed in the Controls menu, a two-finger swipe moves through a film, and live TV has the same options as films.

A Native Mac App

A sidebar with Search at its top, the Mac’s menus and keyboard shortcuts, and every page back where you left it. Rows move sideways with two fingers on a trackpad or the round buttons at their ends, without scroll bars. Back and Forward go through where the window has been, with Command-[ and Command-], a mouse’s side buttons or a swipe on the trackpad. Named Teevo in the Dock, Finder and Mac menus. Right-click the app’s lists folder to hide it. Edit Lists at the top of the guide sidebar lets you show it again.

  • Mac
Add Source on Mac: the M3U playlist form as a sheet

Teevo Plus

Sources on iPhone: demo channels, two add-ons and a film library

Unlimited Sources Plus

Add as many TV providers, media servers, folders and Nuvio or Stremio accounts as you like. Your first is free. An account counts once with all its add-ons, and a guide on its own never counts.

  • Apple TV
  • Mac
  • iPad
  • iPhone

Sync Across Devices Plus

Your sources and their sign-ins, favourites, channel lists, playlists and profiles with their pictures reach each of your devices, Apple TV included, end-to-end encrypted in your iCloud. Continue Watching, Saved for Later, Home’s lists, reminders and your guide, language and player choices stay the same on each one too.

Importing and syncing accounts from iCloud requires Teevo Plus and Sync Across Devices turned on. Existing accounts stay on the device when sync stops. A folder chosen on one device, the PIN and its restrictions, and Trakt or Simkl sign-ins stay on each device. Choose Source Accounts and Profiles separately in Settings → Backup & Sync. Turning either off keeps existing data on this device.
