What Is CosmiTV?

CosmiTV is a premium-quality IPTV player built primarily for Apple devices — iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV — while also supporting Android and Android TV. In a category where many iOS apps feel like afterthoughts, CosmiTV stands out with a carefully designed interface that feels at home on Apple hardware, including full remote navigation on Apple TV.

CosmiTV is a player only — it streams content from your IPTV provider via M3U playlist or Xtream Codes API. No channels are included. Connect it to Zilio IPTV to access 22,500+ live channels and a 100,000+ VOD library across all your Apple and Android devices.

Best use case: CosmiTV is the go-to IPTV player for Apple households. If your primary devices are iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV, CosmiTV offers the most polished native experience — including AirPlay support to cast channels from your iPhone to any screen.

Supported Playlist Formats

CosmiTV supports the two most universal IPTV connection formats, ensuring compatibility with virtually any provider:

📋M3U / M3U8
🔗Xtream Codes API

Zilio compatibility: Zilio IPTV provides both M3U URLs and Xtream Codes credentials immediately after purchase. Both are natively supported by CosmiTV on all platforms including Apple TV.
