Interlace Player
Plex and IPTV, woven into one
Free · In‑App Purchases
Interlace plays your Plex server and your IPTV channels in a single, quiet interface. What you own and what is on air, in the same rails, the same search, the same player.
WHAT IT DOES
• One home: Continue Watching from your Plex server next to what is on TV right now.
• A programme guide that groups your provider's channels, pins favourites and reads like a TV guide: now, next, tonight.
• Plays what Plex struggles with: direct play for MKV, TS, Dolby Digital Plus, TrueHD and 7.1 through the built-in FFmpeg engine, with image and text subtitles rendered on the device. No transcoding on your server.
• Made for the living room: the same app on Apple TV, laid out for the remote. Pick the Apple TV from your phone, and the phone becomes the remote.
• Discover what is new on Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV+ and others with your own free TMDB key, and see where a title streams in your region.
• Picture in Picture: keep a channel or film running in a corner while you watch something else.
• Watch offline: download films and episodes from Plex or your provider's catalogue (iPhone, iPad and Mac).
• Optional: connect Overseerr or Jellyseerr to request titles.
WHAT YOU NEED
• A Plex account and access to a Plex Media Server, yours or one shared with you. Remote streaming needs a Plex Pass on the server owner's account or a Remote Watch Pass on yours; on the home network it plays without either.
• For live TV: an M3U playlist or Xtream login from your own IPTV provider. Interlace ships no channels. What a playlist contains, and your right to watch it, is between you and that provider.
PRIVACY
• No account with us, no analytics, no tracking. Your credentials stay on the device and in your own iCloud keychain.
INTERLACE PRO
• Try everything free for 14 days.
• Afterwards, watching needs Interlace Pro: 14,99 € per year (auto-renewing) or 39,99 € once. Browsing, the guide and search stay free.
• One purchase unlocks iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac. Family Sharing included.
• Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• New Home in the style of the Apple TV app: a big hero image and full-art cards – on Apple TV, iPad and iPhone.
• Plex is now optional: set up Interlace with just your IPTV playlist or Xtream login, and connect Plex later if you like.
• Dolby Atmos: Plex titles with Atmos sound (Dolby Digital Plus) now play in Atmos.
• Show or hide stream info right from the player.
• UHD live channels: deeper buffer and more patient reconnects.
• The IPTV stream format now defaults to Automatic – Xtream channels use MPEG-TS when your provider allows it.
• Timeshift: a bar shows how far you are behind live – scrub back through the buffer or jump straight to live. Short network drops no longer interrupt recording.
• Live channels recover faster after a hiccup.
• Live Activity: while your iPhone controls the Apple TV, what's playing sits on the lock screen.
• Swipe down to close the iPhone remote.
• Tidier settings.
• Fixes and polish.
