CarTV parses it, sorts the entries into the groups defined in your playlist, and plays them. No account, no sign-in, nothing to configure.\n\nFORMATS AND PLAYBACK\n- M3U and M3U8 playlists\n- HLS and standard HTTP streams\n- Hardware-accelerated decoding, with a software decoder as fallback for MKV, HEVC and DTS\n- Embedded and external subtitles, including tracks extracted from MKV\n- Reads tvg-logo and group-title tags from your playlist\n- Remembers where you left off\n\nYOUR OWN MEDIA SERVER\n- Connect to your own Jellyfin or Emby server\n- Browse your libraries, seasons and episodes\n- Episodes are sorted automatically and resume where you stopped\n- Server addresses and credentials never leave your device\n\nCAR MODE\nA landscape layout made for a phone in a dashboard mount: oversized controls, large type, and one-tap switching between entries. Built for passengers.\nNote: for passenger use only. Never watch while driving.\n\nMOMENTS WORTH STOPPING FOR\nPark by the lake on a quiet weekend, set up your fishing rod, and finally watch that old movie you've been saving. At the campsite, stay curled up with your partner after sunset while you wait for the stars. During a forty-minute charging stop, watch two cartoons with the kids or catch up on that movie you and your friends have talked about for ages. When the car is parked and the big display lights up, an ordinary wait becomes time worth remembering.\n\nMANAGE YOUR PLAYLISTS\n- Add as many playlist URLs as you need, by link or by scanning a QR code\n- Refresh, rename, or remove any of them\n- Filter by the groups in your playlist\n- Mark favourites for quick access\n- Import video files from your device and play them offline\n\nMINI PLAYER\nKeep playing while you browse the rest of your list. No need to back out and start over.\n\nPRIVACY\nEverything you add stays on your iPhone. No account needed.\n\nCarTV is a player only. It does not provide, host, bundle, or recommend any content. You supply your own playlists and servers and are responsible for having the right to use them.\n\nTerms of Use: https://27ef9698.pinme.dev/terms.html\nPrivacy Policy: https://27ef9698.pinme.dev/privacy.html","facts":{"developer_id":1881525184,"developer_url":"https://cartv.app","first_released":"2026-08-16T07:00:00Z","support_url":null,"privacy_url":null,"website_url":null,"app_version":"1.1.5","release_notes":"Urgently fixed a crash affecting devices running older system versions.","rating_current_version":4.53413,"rating_count_current_version":4351,"star_counts":null,"genres":["Utilities"],"languages":["AR","NL","EN","FR","DE","HE","HI","ID","IT","JA","KO","PL","PT","RU","ZH","ES","SV","TH","ZH","TR","UK","VI"],"content_advisories":null,"device_families":null,"made_for_iphone_duo":null,"chart":null},"freshness":{"apple_read_at":"2026-10-21T10:43:12.849Z","catalog_read_at":null,"reviews_checked_at":"2026-10-21T10:43:12.849Z","summary_written_at":"2026-10-18T14:30:12.199Z","placed_at":"2026-10-18T05:39:11.616Z","scored_at":"2026-10-23T05:23:53.028Z"},"editorial":{"one_liner":"Free iPhone player for M3U and M3U8 playlists and Jellyfin or Emby servers, with screen mirroring to a car display.","what_is":"CarTV is a utility app for playing M3U and M3U8 playlists, HLS and HTTP streams, and media from your own Jellyfin or Emby server.
