- Cobi Player Pro now also comes as a yearly subscription. Or pay once, as before: the same Pro either way, on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. - Moving your account to your Apple TV with the 8-digit code is now free. - Smaller ads on iPhone: the ad banner at the bottom of the screen is now at most half as tall as before, so you see more of your channels, movies and series. In landscape it takes even less room. - New in Settings > About: "Rate Cobi Player" takes you straight to the App Store, where you can rate or review the app. - Now and then, after you have finished watching something, Cobi Player may ask for a rating with Apple's standard dialog - never while you are watching, and at most once per version. Cobi Player Pro removes all advertising.

Ready for iOS 27. - Search is no longer tied to the section you are in: switch between Live, Movies, Series and Categories right in the search field, and a result opens in its own section. Nothing found? One tap searches another section, and country buttons narrow down long result lists. - "Customize Countries" now also appears in Movies and Series, not just in Live TV, when your provider groups them by country. Hide the countries you never watch with Cobi Player Pro. - Sound and Picture in Picture are reworked for iOS 27. - Switching channels is cleaner: the previous stream now closes completely before the next one starts, which helps with services that allow only one connection at a time. - The ad banner fits the space it has: it is no longer cut off at the sides in landscape, and no longer leaves a black block after you rotate the device. - On 13-inch iPads with iPadOS 27, opening a movie, or rotating the iPad with a movie open, could freeze the app. Fixed. Cobi Player Pro removes all advertising.

Subtitles now appear - and films can be scrubbed. Two faults in the playback engine are fixed. Both were completely silent - no crash, no error message - which is why they lasted as long as they did. SUBTITLES did not appear on iPhone, iPad or Mac at all, whatever the language or format; on Apple TV only plain tracks worked, and styled ones stayed invisible. Two separate faults were behind that. The engine had been built without a font provider, so styled subtitles were decoded and then simply not drawn - on every device. And on iPhone, iPad and Mac the subtitle layer was never created in the first place, which took the rest with it. Both are fixed. They still do not appear in Picture in Picture: that small window mirrors the video layer only. SEEKING inside most films froze the picture for a few seconds and then threw the film back to the start. Every jump sent the sound track to the beginning of the file, and playback then crawled back towards your position. Dragging the slider, tapping +10s and resuming a film all land straight away now. And if a film does stall, it reconnects where it stopped instead of starting over. Also in this release: - The bar at the bottom is no longer a black strip when no ad was delivered, and an ad already on screen is no longer thrown away every time you start a video. - Apple TV: the audio track list is always shown, repeated ten-second skips add up correctly, search finds names written with capitals or accents, and results are no longer squeezed into three lines. - A purchase that fails now says so instead of doing nothing. - A wrong or expired transfer code is reported at once instead of after a long wait. Cobi Player Pro removes all advertising.

Ads now follow your own choice. Version 1.0 always requested generic ads, even from people who had just agreed to personalized ones - your answer was collected and then ignored. That is fixed. This version asks once whether tracking is allowed, and then respects what you picked. Decline, or ignore the prompt, and nothing about the app changes: ads simply stay non-personalized, exactly as before. Also in this release: - The banner is larger. - The full-screen ad before a video appears at most every 30 minutes, and after every fifth start with at least five minutes in between. - Ads no longer stay blank after a failed load. Cobi Player Pro removes all advertising - and with it both prompts.
