Bandit is the all-in-one player for the media you already own. Connect your servers, services, and file shares — then browse, search, and stream everything from one beautiful, native app built for iPhone and iPad.
CONNECT EVERYTHING
• Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby media servers
• IPTV via M3U playlists and Xtream Codes portals
• WebDAV and SMB network file shares
• Stremio-compatible add-on catalogs
A REAL PLAYER
• Dual engine (native + VLC) plays virtually anything — MKV, HEVC and more
• Direct play with automatic server-transcode fallback
• Chapters, skip intro/credits, and Up Next autoplay
• Picture in Picture and AirPlay
• Subtitles and preferred audio/subtitle languages
LIVE TV WITH A GUIDE
• Full EPG program guide, favorites and channel groups
• Catch-up / timeshift where your provider supports it
BUILT FOR YOU
• A personalized Home with Continue Watching, Watchlist and recommendations
• Instant on-device search and a complete synced library
• Download to watch offline, anywhere
• Home and away: automatic connection switching for Plex, Jellyfin and Emby
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account. No tracking. No data collection.
• Your credentials stay in the device Keychain.
Bandit is free to use with one source. Upgrade to Bandit Pro to connect unlimited sources.
Bandit hosts no content — you bring your own servers and services.

Settings, rebuilt
• Sources are grouped by type, each with its own artwork
• Every server shows what's in it — "3,643 movies · 621 shows"
• Tap a source to reload it, sign in again, pick which
libraries appear, or remove it
• Storage now shows a colour-coded breakdown of what
Bandit is using, so you can see what's worth clearing
Live TV guide fixes
• No more grid of empty tiles after a day away — the guide
says it's loading, then fills in
• The guide downloads quietly at launch and when you come
back, so it's usually ready before you open Live TV
• Both fixes apply to M3U and Xtream Codes
Also fixed
• Section headings on Home and Discover now open the full list
• "Remove from Continue Watching" no longer appears for
titles that aren't there
• Jellyfin's "Recently added shows" is no longer empty
