OwnPlayer

Support

Set up OwnPlayer.

OwnPlayer starts empty. Add a playlist you are allowed to use, then add a guide if you have one.

Get started

  1. 1

    Open OwnPlayer and tap Add playlist. Later you can add more in Settings > Playlists.

  2. 2

    Pick a playlist type: M3U playlist (a link or a local .m3u/.m3u8 file), Xtream Codes (server, username, password) or Stalker Portal.

  3. 3

    Optional: add an XMLTV guide link. You can add it with the playlist, or later in Settings > TV guide > EPG sources.

  4. 4

    Pick a channel to start watching. Long-press a channel for more options, such as Record or Manage sources.

Try the demo playlist

No playlist yet? Add this link as an M3U playlist. It holds Apple's public HLS test streams, so you can try playback, video tracks and picture in picture.

Common problems

“Failed to add playlist”

Check the link or the login details, and that the server is online. Links must start with http:// or https://.

“No Internet connection”

Connect to Wi-Fi or mobile data, then try again.

The TV guide is empty

Add a guide in Settings > TV guide > EPG sources, then tap Update EPG. Channels match the guide by their tvg-id, or by name when there is none.

A channel does not play

The stream may be offline or in a format iOS cannot play. Add a backup link with Manage sources, or open it in an external player.

Local UDP channels do not play

Allow OwnPlayer in Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network on your iPhone or iPad.

Keep your logins private

Playlist links and Xtream or Stalker details can hold your password. Do not post them, show them in screenshots or send them by email.
