A vibe-coded, screen-reader-friendly IPTV player for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro, with CarPlay audio. Built for VoiceOver, and to handle big playlists and guides without choking.

This is the iOS port of Accessible IPTV Client for Android, the companion to Accessible IPTV Client for Windows and Linux.

• Xtream Codes logins, Stalker portals (address and MAC), M3U / M3U Plus playlist URLs, and M3U files picked in the Files app.
• Live TV, Movies and Series, each with groups plus Favourites and All at the top. A series opens to its episodes, in season order.
• Search at the top covers every group in the section, with a Voice button that fills it by speech.
• XMLTV guide (.xml and .xml.gz), including large guides, read as it downloads. Each channel says what is on and until when; On Now lists everything airing; Guide search finds upcoming programmes.
• Catch-up playback for channels with an archive (Xtream timeshift and M3U catch-up templates, the desktop rules).
• Built-in player (libVLC) that plays raw MPEG-TS, HLS, MKV and MP4, with always-visible controls and a full screen mode. It picks an audio description track when a channel has one and remembers a track you choose per channel.
• Live playback starts with half a second buffered, then builds a 25-second cushion during playback, like the desktop app. A dropped live stream reconnects by itself. Sound keeps playing with the screen locked.
• Casts to Chromecast, or hands a stream to VLC, Infuse, nPlayer or Outplayer.
• Record now, schedule recordings from the guide, and download movies, episodes and catch-up programmes. Recordings appear in the Files app.
• Previous channel, Recently watched, Go to channel number; number keys on a keyboard jump straight to a channel.
• Export and import every setting, playlist and favourite as one file, including a file exported from the Android app.
• 14 languages: English, Spanish, Arabic, Portuguese (Brazilian), French, German, Russian, Turkish, Italian, Polish, Hindi, Chinese (Simplified), Japanese and Hungarian.
• CarPlay lists favourite and recently watched channels and plays their sound (needs a build signed with Apple's CarPlay audio permission).

Built for VoiceOver following the CVS Health iOS SwiftUI accessibility techniques; every build runs their a11y-check.

• Every list row is one stop. Extra choices (another player, favourite, details, guide, record, download) are in the VoiceOver Actions rotor, or on touch and hold.
• Real buttons with short, plain names. No icon-only controls, no auto-hiding overlays.
• Headings on every section, labelled form fields, and errors that move VoiceOver to the field that needs fixing.
• Status changes are announced, and only when something happened. The player's announcements follow Settings, Announcements.
• A two-finger double tap plays and pauses. Dynamic Type, dark mode, every orientation.
• On Apple TV every control is reachable with the remote.

Add the serrebiALT source to AltStore:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/serrebidev/serrebiALT/main/apps.json

then install Accessible IPTV from it. AltStore keeps it updated. The .ipa files for iPhone and iPad, Apple TV and Vision Pro are also on the Releases page for other sideloading tools. Needs iOS 17, tvOS 17 or visionOS 1 or later.

1. Open Playlists and add an Xtream login, an M3U URL, an M3U file, or a Stalker portal.
2. Go back. Channels load, then the guide imports in the background.
3. Pick a group, or just search.

Needs a Mac with Xcode and XcodeGen:

xcodegen generate
open AccessibleIPTV.xcodeproj

The rules (playlists, guide, catch-up, providers) are a Swift package with tests: cd Core && swift test.
