PixelPlay is an IPTV player built to feel like a first-party Apple app. It ships with 8,500 free public channels out of the box (news, sports, kids, international) from the iptv-org catalog — no sign-up, works on first launch. Add your own M3U or Xtream sources on top. Core features are free. Pro ($9.99 one-time, no subscription) unlocks multi-view (watch 4 streams simultaneously), Picture-in-Picture, unlimited sources, and parental locks.
I started this a year ago because every IPTV app on iOS felt like an Android port from 2022: abandoned, subscription-locked, or both. I wanted something that felt native.
The playback engine uses AVPlayer for most streams and falls back to VLC for the ones AVPlayer rejects: RTMP, non-standard codecs. You never choose the engine; the app picks based on the stream.
I gave the Apple TV app real attention(coming live in 2 weeks). Most IPTV apps treat tvOS as an afterthought. I built a full cinematic home screen, proper focus navigation, and a mini player bar so audio keeps going while you browse.
The free tier is not a trial. 8,500 public channels, your own M3U or Xtream source, EPG guide, no account. Pro ($9.99 one-time) adds multi-view, PiP, unlimited sources, and parental locks.
Ask me about the tech stack, stream reliability, the tvOS UI, or why I chose one-time over subscription.
