▸ MAXIMUS ENGINE™ — TECHNOLOGY BUILT IN-HOUSE
Most IPTV plans allow one connection at a time. We spent thousands of hours engineering playback for the way real providers behave:
• SoloLine™ — one account, one line, never a conflict. Seek, pause, flip channels: Maximus stays within your plan's connection limit, so you avoid freezes and "too many connections" errors.
• TrueSeek™ — open a title once and it is instant from then on: reopening, pausing and seeking land immediately, even weeks later.
• SeamLive™ — live TV that carries on seamlessly when your provider hiccups. No black flash, no restart.
• GuideRescue™ — a TV guide even when your provider withholds one (on supported providers).
• ByteKeep™ Downloads — downloads that never start over.
Also inside: ZapShield™ (channel switches your provider accepts), LiveReserve™ (high-bitrate channels), EnduraPlay™ (hours of 4K without a slowdown), AudioReturn™ (sound comes back after a call or Siri), OnAirSense™ (know in seconds when a channel is off air) and SmoothSense™ (offers a download when a stream can't keep up).
▸ STREAM ANY IPTV PROVIDER
Connect Xtream Codes, M3U or M3U8 sources. AutoHandshake™ connects reliably on the first try, even to strict providers. Filter Live TV by country (UK, US, TR, DE, BR and more). Save Favorites and Continue Watching across every channel.
▸ A REAL TV GUIDE (EPG)
A beautiful, scrollable program guide with what's on now and next. Filter by Sports, Movies, Kids and Favorites.
▸ DISCOVER WHAT'S ON NOW
A time-aware Home screen surfaces ON AIR shows and "next up" episodes across thousands of live channels.
▸ WATCH MOVIES & SERIES
Search 7,000+ series and 100,000+ movies across all your sources — top rated, just added, continue watching.
▸ PICK UP ON ANY DEVICE
ExactResume™ brings you back to the exact second and the right episode. iCloud-synced progress means you can start on iPhone and finish on iPad. Changing provider? CarryOver™ brings your favorites and progress with you.
▸ CAST TO THE BIG SCREEN
Built-in Chromecast and AirPlay support. Cast any channel, movie or episode to your TV with a single tap.
▸ DOWNLOAD FOR OFFLINE — BYTEKEEP™ DOWNLOADS
Save episodes and movies for flights and commutes. Pause a download to watch something, lose Wi-Fi, or close the app — it picks up from the last saved point instead of starting from zero, and keeps going in the background.
▸ SEARCH ACROSS EVERYTHING
One search bar finds Live channels, Movies and Series in milliseconds.
▸ PARENTAL LOCK
Hide adult categories behind a PIN. Family-safe by design.
▸ MANAGE EVERY SOURCE IN ONE APP
Combine multiple Xtream and M3U playlists into a single library.

more WHAT'S NEW
• Episode lists show what you've watched. Each episode says "Watched", or shows a progress bar with the minutes left, right under its title.
• Switching live channels back and forth is instant again. Going back to the channel you just left no longer fails or waits on providers that allow one connection.
FIXES
• Adding a source: when the provider rejects your login, the app now says "Wrong username or password" instead of a general error.
• Search: with a filter such as Series selected, the clear and Done buttons work again instead of opening the first result.
• Stability improvements.
4.6.7 1d ago
WHAT'S NEW
• Downloads check your free space first. With little room left, Maximus asks before starting a download whose size isn't known yet, instead of filling your storage.
• A full device is now reported as "Storage Full" with a clear message, instead of "Stream Unavailable".
• If your subscription has ended, you can still delete or cancel downloads already on your device.
FIXES
• The app no longer stutters after the TV guide updates on large channel lists.
• Stability improvements.
4.6.6 6d ago
WHAT'S NEW
• Live channels now play on providers that only stream in TS format. Channels that showed "Can't Play Channel" on these providers work again, with no need to re-add your source.
• Adding a source works with more providers. Maximus now reads server answers it used to reject, such as missing or unusually formatted fields, so Xtream logins and channel lists load where they failed before.
• Clear answers, fast. An unreachable server is reported in seconds instead of minutes, and expired or blocked accounts are named as such when you add them.
• Passwords with special characters (+, #, &, % or spaces) now work.
• Pasted links are tidied automatically: stray spaces, hidden characters and full player_api.php links are trimmed to the server address.
FIXES
• Fixed a freeze on iPad when closing or switching streams.
• Stability improvements.
4.6.5 Oct 11
Wrong username or password now shows a clear message right away instead of a generic error.
4.6.4 Sep 25
WHAT'S NEW
• One card per title. Providers that list the same film several times (subtitled, platform or rating variants) now show it once in Movies and Series, and remakes from different years stay separate.
• Search shows everything. Every version of a title your provider has appears in search, each labelled with its provider category, so you can pick the one with the season you want.
FIXES
• Picking a season on a series now always opens that season. If your provider has no episodes for it yet, the app says so.
• Search results no longer disappear after you open a title and go back.
• Stability and performance improvements.
4.6.3 Sep 21
INTRODUCING MAXIMUS ENGINE™
The playback technology we have been building for over a year now has names:
• SoloLine™ — stays within your plan's one-connection limit, every second.
• TrueSeek™ — reopen and seek titles you have watched before, instantly.
• SeamLive™ — live TV that carries on when your provider hiccups.
• ByteKeep™ Downloads — downloads that never start over.
NEW: GUIDERESCUE™
Some providers block their full TV guide. Their channels now stay in the TV Guide, and the programmes fill in as you scroll (on supported providers).
• Maximus no longer asks for a blocked guide every time you open the app, so your connection stays free for watching.
FIXES
• Series that your provider lists without episodes now say so, instead of showing a Play button that does nothing.
• Those empty series no longer appear as Featured.
• Stability and performance improvements.
4.6.2 Sep 20
What's New in 4.6
RESUMABLE DOWNLOADS
• Downloads now continue from where they stopped instead of starting over — whether you pause them to watch something, lose your connection, or close the app.
• Downloads keep running in the background and carry on by themselves when your Wi-Fi comes back.
• Your stream is no longer interrupted by downloads restarting when the connection drops and returns mid-playback.
FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS
• Fixed browse screens that could appear empty on iOS 27.
• "Pause Downloads & Play" is more reliable: playback no longer starts behind the prompt, and paused downloads free the connection for your stream.
• Stability and performance improvements.
4.6 Sep 16
• Fixed a crash that could happen after watching a Live TV channel for a long time (typically 20 to 60 minutes on one channel).
• Improved stability during long viewing sessions.
4.5.1 Sep 15
• Live TV is much more reliable - channels that used to freeze, stutter, or jump backwards now play smoothly, including high-bitrate HD channels.
• Faster, more dependable channel switching.
• Fixed a crash when adding or removing a favorite.
• Removing a favorite now syncs correctly across your devices instead of reappearing.
4.5 Sep 1
Downloads are tougher now.
• Your download queue survives long stretches with the device locked or the app in the background and nothing gets dropped.
• Downloads interrupted by a temporary provider hiccup areretried automatically instead of failing out of the queue.
• Anything that did fail is put back in the queue, in the original order, next time you open the app.
Plus general stability and performance improvements.
4.4.9 Aug 14
This update makes downloads rock-solid:
- Downloads now survive anything: If the app closes or your device interrupts a download, it picks up right where it left off and your download queue is never lost.
- Smarter queue: An interrupted download always continues first, and the next item starts automatically the moment it finishes.
- No more disappearing downloads: Fixed a rare issue where a fully downloaded episode could be lost right at the end, including after app updates.
- Fewer false "Stream Unavailable" errors during downloading.
- Disabled sources are now easy to spot: They appear dimmed in their own "Disabled" group instead of looking active.
- Faster, lighter startup: Content from disabled sources is no longer loaded in the background.
- Reclaim storage: The new "Orphaned downloads" option in Settings finds and removes leftover files that don't belong to your library, and storage sizes in Settings now show exactly what's what.
4.4.8 Jul 13
This update makes resuming playback rock-solid:
• Movies and episodes now always resume at the exact spot you left off — fixed a bug where playback could jump back to an earlier position (or to the beginning) after pausing or switching apps.
• Fixed downloaded episodes briefly showing "Resetting player..." and losing their position when resuming — downloaded content now resumes instantly, even offline.
• Continue Watching positions are now more reliable and sync correctly across your devices.
Enjoying Maximus TV? A quick App Store review really helps us. Questions or feedback: we read everything.
4.4.6 Jul 9
We've focused this update on smoother, more dependable playback:
• Fixed a rare freeze where the video stuck on one frame after returning from the background (while audio kept playing).
• More reliable seeking — the progress bar no longer locks up, and playback resumes exactly where you left off.
• General stability improvements across Live TV, Movies, and Series.
Enjoy, and thanks for using Maximus TV!

• Clearer status while a video is getting ready to play.

Series & Episodes

• Eliminated duplicate seasons showing for certain providers
• Smarter season/episode metadata matching for better playback reliability

pace per source in Settings

Streaming Reliability

• Eliminated mid-movie freezes on max-connections:1 providers caused by a race condition during background stream cleanup
• Stall recovery no longer loops forever on a dead segment — it stops and surfaces a clear error instead
iCloud Sync
• "Remove from Continue Watching" now syncs reliably across all your devices — items dismissed on one device no longer reappear on another
• iCloud sync operations moved off the main thread — reduces UI freezes during background sync on large libraries
Visual Polish
• Cleaned up stray blue tints and hardcoded colours throughout the app — everything now follows the design system consistently

⏺ Gesture tips:
A brief tip card now appears the first time you do something new — swipe to seek, open the mini-guide, long-press to remove a card. Once dismissed it never shows again. Find all

When a stream is struggling, tap the new Download button in the banner to save it for offline viewing. The player closes, the download starts, and you land on the Downloads list

4.2.1 Jun 6
What's New in This Update
We've spent this release making playback faster and far more reliable — especially on connections that used to give you trouble.
• Smoother, more stable streaming — We rebuilt how the app connects to your service behind the scenes. Channels and movies now play steadily with far fewer freezes, stutters, and unexpected stops.
• Live TV recovers on its own — If your provider hiccups mid-stream, the app quietly reconnects in the background. No more black screens or "buffering" spinners interrupting the action.
• Movies & episodes start faster — Titles you open now load more quickly, and ones you've watched before pick up almost instantly.
• More reliable setup — Adding a playlist is more dependable, so your full library of movies and shows imports correctly the first time. You'll also see live progress while everything loads, instead of wondering if it's stuck.
• Better lock-screen controls — Play, pause, and skip work reliably from your lock screen and Control Center.
Thanks for using Maximus TV! Keep the feedback coming — it shapes every update.

Thank you to every user who sent feedback
4.0 Apr 28
• Snappier channel switching. Live TV channel changes are faster, and the previous channel's last frame no longer lingers on screen when
switching to a slow-loading or unavailable channel — you'll see a clean black screen instantly, so it's obvious that the switch registered.
• Smoother recovery from stream hiccups. The stall detector has been rebuilt to recover from frozen or buffering streams more reliably,
with fewer interruptions. The transient "Playback Error" popup has been removed — you'll now only see the Stream Unavailable screen when a
stream is genuinely down.
• More reliable player exit. Fixed a rare UI freeze that could occur when closing the player.
• Better Continue Watching for Live TV. Recently watched channels are now tracked more cleanly, so your Continue Watching row stays
accurate.

3.8.1 Apr 15
Player Stability & Recovery :
- Significantly improved playback stability - false resets during healthy playback have been eliminated

- Added soft reconnect: the player now tries a lightweight resume before performing a full reset, making recovery nearly invisible for transient drops
- Fixed an issue where the "Stream Unavailable" error screen could flicker between different button layouts
- "Try Again" now works reliably - previously it could be interrupted by background recovery processes still running from the previous attempt
- Fixed a rare issue where the player could become unresponsive after a failed stream, requiring a force quit
Performance :
- Player dismissal is now instant - fixed a 4-5 second freeze when closing the player
- Reduced unnecessary database queries during playback
Security & Reliability :

- Fixed potential data integrity issues with background sync
