Here is all of it, in one place. ## Your playlists - **M3U and M3U8** — From a link or a file. Groups become categories; the playlist's own guide is found automatically. - **Xtream Codes** — Server, user name and password: live TV, movies and series with their details. - **Stalker portals** — Portal address and MAC address, with live TV, movies, series and archive. - **Several sources** — Add as many as you like and switch between them in a moment. - **Account details** — See when your subscription expires and how many connections it allows. - **Encrypted on the device** — User names and passwords are stored encrypted and never leave your device. ## Live TV and the guide - **Fast channel switching** — Up and Down, channel numbers, the last channel button, and the list over the picture. - **Program guide (EPG)** — A grid on the TV and a list on the phone, with now and next on every channel. - **More XMLTV guides** — Add your own guide addresses on top of your provider's. - **Smart matching** — Prefixes like "UK:" or "[FHD]" don't stop the guide from finding a channel. - **Catch-up** — Watch past programs when your provider keeps an archive. - **Reminders** — Get a reminder before a program, or whenever a word like your team's name shows up in the guide. ## Movies and series - **Posters and details** — Year, rating, length, cast and plot, as your provider sends them. - **Seasons and episodes** — Every episode in order, with what you've already watched. - **Continue watching** — Pick up exactly where you stopped, on any screen. - **Follow a series** — Hear about new episodes as soon as your provider adds them. - **My list** — Favorites for channels, movies and series, in the order you choose. - **Instant search** — Channels, movies, series and programs as you type, from the TV or the phone. ## The player - **Subtitles** — Tracks, size, color and position, timing, and SRT files. - **Audio tracks** — Switch languages and pick the best quality. - **Picture size and zoom** — Six modes, remembered for each channel. - **Quality** — FHD, HD and SD copies of a channel become one, with a quality choice. - **Sleep timer and speed** — Stop after a while or when the program ends; play movies faster or slower. - **For the experts** — Decoder choice, frame rate matching, a statistics overlay and opening in an external player. ## Sound modes - **Cinema** — Wider and fuller, for movies and series. - **Clear speech** — Voices clearer for news, talk shows and quiet dialogue. - **Night** — Loud scenes softer, voices kept. - **Surround** — Spatial sound, best with headphones. - **Sports** — Commentary clear, crowd wide. - **Music** — Bass and treble lifted for concerts. ## Screens together - **Multiview** — Up to four live channels on a TV or tablet, two on a phone; sound from the window you pick. - **Phone remote** — Remote, keyboard and touchpad on the same Wi-Fi, in the app or a browser. - **Play on TV** — Send what you're watching on the phone to Zapvo on the TV. - **Connect with a code** — Control a TV in another home, through a one-time code. - **Chromecast** — Cast supported streams to a Chromecast or Google TV. - **Picture-in-picture** — A small window on phones and tablets, or sound in the background. ## For the family - **Profiles** — Each with its own favorites, history, settings and sources. - **Kids profiles** — Only the categories you allow, never adult content, and no way into settings or sources. - **Parental PIN** — Protects settings, sources and locked content. - **Locked adult categories** — Recognized and locked automatically when a playlist is added. - **Channel editing** — Hide whole countries, order categories and make your own groups. - **Sync** — Profiles, sources and favorites on all your devices, end-to-end encrypted, without an account. ## Fast, even on modest hardware Zapvo reads playlists as a stream and stores them in small batches, so huge lists open quickly and scroll smoothly. In our tests, an Android 7.1 TV box with 1 GB of memory imported 100,000 channels, movies and episodes in about 4.5 seconds. ## Bring your playlist. Zapvo does the rest. Install Zapvo, add your source and watch. Every feature is free for 30 days, no card needed. --- Zapvo is a media player only. It doesn't provide or sell any channels, playlists or other content.
