EPTVEPTV

Start with
your playlist.

Your playlist supplies the channels. EPTV helps you browse and watch them. The apps are still in development; here is how setup works today.

What do you need?

  • Permission to watch. Use a provider or playlist you have permission to access.
  • A playlist URL. Ask your provider for an M3U playlist URL. On Mac, you can also use a playlist file.
  • Programme-guide data. A guide lets you see what is on now and what comes next, when your provider supplies it.
No public EPTV release is available yet.

The Mac and Apple TV apps are not publicly available yet. EPTV does not include channels or IPTV subscriptions.

Add your lineup
on the Mac.

Add an M3U playlist URL or import an M3U/M3U8 file. Add an XMLTV guide if you need programme times. These options are available in Mac development builds.

You can also restore a compatible EPTV snapshot. Importing one can replace your local library. Snapshots may contain provider credentials and viewing history, so keep them private.

Keep your setup
up to date.

Choose the playlist you want to use. Refresh URL playlists and match guide entries to channels. We will confirm the supported formats before release.

Add your lineup
on Apple TV.

In Apple TV development builds, add a playlist URL or import a compatible snapshot exported from Mac. You can then manage the playlists in Settings.

If your playlist includes a supported XMLTV guide address, Apple TV can load it too. You do not need a Mac to set up a playlist URL.

Have a playlist file?

Import it on Mac. On Apple TV, use a supported playlist URL or EPTV snapshot.

Pick a channel
and start watching.

After import, open Live TV and choose a channel. Home helps you return to Favorites and Recently Watched. With guide data, it also shows what is on now and starting soon.

Start Over

Watch the current programme from the beginning, when your provider supports it.

Replay

Watch an earlier programme from your provider’s archive, when available.

Both options need archive support from your provider. The programme progress bar alone does not mean you can rewind.

Can I install EPTV today?

Not yet. We are preparing the apps for release and do not have a public release date.
