About AutoCinema: Car IPTV Player
AutoCinema plays your own IPTV playlists, videos and home media server on your iPhone and on your car's screen with CarPlay: video while you're parked, sound while you drive. AutoCinema is only a player. It contains no channels or content: add the playlist from your TV provider, or any list you're allowed to watch. YOUR CHANNELS • Add an M3U or M3U8 link, paste a list, scan a QR code, pick a file or sign in with Xtream • Channels keep their groups, logos and TV guide (EPG), with reminders for the shows you want • AutoCinema checks which channels answer, hides the ones that don't and shows how fast the rest respond • Channels with the same name become backup lines YOUR VIDEOS • Add films and episodes from Photos or Files, whole folders included • They play offline, resume where you stopped and go on to the next episode • Put .srt or .vtt subtitles next to your videos YOUR MEDIA SERVER • Sign in to your Jellyfin or Emby server: movies by library, episodes by series and season, ready to resume PLAYS ALMOST EVERYTHING • HLS and raw .ts streams, MP4, MOV, M4V, MKV, AVI and more, with their audio tracks and built-in subtitles • Apple's player for AirPlay and Picture in Picture; VLC's engine for the rest IN THE CAR • CarPlay: pick a channel or video on the car's display. While you're parked it plays there with the picture; while you drive, you hear the sound. Video on the car screen needs iOS 26.4 or later. • Screen mirroring: your whole iPhone screen on the car display while parked, any app included. 40 minutes free, unlimited with Pro. Needs iOS 26.4 or later. • Car mode: big controls on your iPhone in a dashboard mount, turned sideways • For your safety, video plays only while the car is parked, on the car screen and in car mode; while you drive, the sound goes on FREE AND PRO • Free, with no time limit: one playlist or media server, unlimited videos of your own, the car screen, TV guide and reminders • Pro: unlimited playlists and servers, car mode, unlimited screen mirroring (iOS 26.4+), and subtitles translated into your language on your iPhone • Weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase, with Family Sharing for up to six people PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account and no ads.
