Why VertiPlay

Everything needed for a focused experience.

Add playlists by file or URL

Choose a local M3U or M3U8 file with Android's system picker or enter a playlist URL. VertiPlay parses channel groups, logos, and stream addresses and keeps the playlist state on your device.

Watch vertically with fast channel discovery

Browse grouped channels, search across the playlist, reopen recently watched channels, save favorites, and keep the experience optimized for portrait-first phone use.

Keep playback alive when the screen changes

Background playback uses one Media3 player and MediaSession with media notification controls, audio-focus handling, lock-screen controls, and return-to-app preservation.

Clear everyday flow

A portrait-first IPTV player that accepts M3U/M3U8 files or playlist URLs, with groups, channel logos, search, favorites, recent history, aspect-ratio controls, background audio, and Android media notifications. No channels are included.
