It supports both M3U playlists and Xtream Codes API, with automatic format detection and smart User-Agent rotation for maximum compatibility with any IPTV provider.
Unlike other IPTV players, VibeTivi features a three-layer AI recommendation system that learns your viewing habits and suggests content you'll actually want to watch. The on-device rules engine works offline, TMDB integration adds movie ratings and poster art, and the premium AI layer provides personalized picks updated daily.
VibeTivi is the only IPTV player that offers true cross-device sync. Watch a movie on your living room TV, then pick up exactly where you left off on your bedroom Fire Stick. Watch history, favorites, profile settings, and playlists all sync automatically through your VibeTivi account.
The EPG (Electronic Program Guide) uses a 9-step fuzzy matching algorithm with multi-source fallback, timezone auto-detection, and manual channel mapping. It's the most reliable EPG implementation in any IPTV player — no more empty guides or mismatched channels.
VibeTivi supports up to 5 profiles per account with PIN lock, child profiles with content filtering, and per-profile favorites, watch history, and settings. DVR recording lets you schedule recordings from the EPG guide with conflict detection and storage management. Quick channel switching via D-pad makes flipping channels as easy as traditional TV.
