PlaylistTV

Live channels from your Plex

Free · In‑App Purchases

Your own library, running like a television station. Pick a channel and it plays — and your place follows you from the Apple TV to your iPhone. PlaylistTV turns the playlists and collections on your own Plex Media Server into channels that simply play. Pick a channel and it starts. No episode list, no deciding what comes next — it runs like a television station you programmed yourself. WHAT IT DOES • Builds channels from your playlists and collections • Plays them in order or shuffled • Picks up exactly where you left off, on every device • Keeps track of what you have already seen, on its own • One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac FOR YOUR OWN LIBRARY PlaylistTV needs a Plex Media Server of your own. It only ever reads from it. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is renamed, nothing is deleted — the app has no way to change your library at all. YOUR PLACE FOLLOWS YOU Start an episode on the Apple TV, finish it on your iPhone. Progress travels through your own private iCloud account. It never touches anybody else's server, and there is no account to create here. YOUR SERVER STAYS UNTOUCHED BY DEFAULT The app keeps its own watch progress, separate from your server. If you would rather have finished episodes marked watched there as well, you can switch that on — for everything or for a single channel. Both directions are off until you decide otherwise, because on a library you have already worked through, every channel would otherwise start out finished. TRY IT FIRST Everything is open for 28 days. After that a channel still plays half an hour a day, and one purchase unlocks it for good on all your devices. No subscription, no account, no advertising. PlaylistTV is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Plex, Inc.
