Apple TV
Your playlists on the big screen.
The tvOS app takes the same M3U and Xtream Codes playlists and adds what a living room needs: focus-driven Multi-View, reminders, parental control, iCloud Sync, and no ads.
On the TV
What you get
The same two ways to add a playlist
Playlists tab, then +, then Link m3u or Xtream Login, exactly as on iPhone.
Multi-View, no Pro needed
Open MultiView from a channel's detail. Focusing a tile switches the sound; long-press for Add Screen, Remove Screen or Change Channel; Back closes it.
Favorites and reminders
Star channels and set program reminders from the guide; Home shows Upcoming Reminders.
Parental control
PIN-lock categories so the kids' profile stays on the kids' channels.
iCloud Sync (Pro)
Playlists, favorites and watch history from your iPhone or iPad appear on the TV with the same Apple ID.
No ads
The Apple TV app shows no ads, on Free or Pro.
Not on Apple TV
These are iPhone and iPad features; the TV app leaves them out.

Or let iCloud bring it
Pro users: turn on iCloud Sync on iPhone or iPad and the same playlists and favorites show up on the TV.
Apple TV questions
Do I pay separately for the TV app?
No. A Pro subscription bought on iPhone or iPad covers Apple TV as well, provided both use the same Apple ID.
Is there a TV guide on Apple TV?
Yes, for Xtream Codes playlists: the guide comes from the provider. Plain M3U playlists do not get a guide, and the app cannot load a separate XMLTV URL.
Which streams play?
HLS (.m3u8), MPEG-TS, MKV, AVI, FLV, WMV and WebM; the app picks Apple's player or the VLC-based engine automatically.
One app, every screen in the house.
Free on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. Pro syncs them with iCloud.
