Ceau Player

Your media. Your sources. One player across Apple devices.

Ceau Player is a private-first media player for live TV, personal media servers, network storage, and local files. Add sources you are authorized to use, then browse, search, organize, and play them in a native interface designed for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Mac.

MULTI-VIEW
Watch up to four live channels or videos at once. Choose a layout, focus a tile, and switch audio without leaving the wall.

BRING YOUR OWN SOURCES
• M3U, M3U8, and TXT IPTV playlists
• Emby and Jellyfin libraries
• WebDAV and SMB network storage
• Local video files on supported devices

MADE FOR APPLE SCREENS
Use touch on iPhone and iPad, the Siri Remote on Apple TV, and keyboard and pointer controls on Mac. Favorites, recents, search, channel groups, program guide, and playback controls stay consistent across devices.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Credentials remain in the device Keychain. Ceau Player contains no advertising or cross-app tracking. Remote notifications use Firebase. Basic usage statistics use Google Analytics for Firebase and can be turned off in Settings > About > Share usage statistics. Media URLs, playlist contents, credentials and viewing history are not included in analytics. See our privacy policy for details. Optional iCloud sync is limited to credential-free source descriptions and app preferences.

PLAYBACK FOR REAL-WORLD MEDIA
Powered by VLC for broad support across common live-stream and video formats.

Ceau Player does not provide, host, curate, or sell media content. You must only connect sources and media you own or are authorized to use.

Apple Watch: browse your IPTV sources, groups, favorites and recents on your wrist. Supported HTTP(S) HLS and video streams use the system player; other supported HTTP(S) streams offer audio playback. The Watch app can run independently of iPhone. Optional iCloud sync and the shared Ceau Pro purchase are available. Media-server libraries, local files and Multi-View are available on other supported devices.

Add, browse, and manage unlimited media sources for free. Each device includes 45 minutes of single-screen playback daily; iPhone and iPad also include a separate 6 minutes of Multi-View. Apple Watch supports single-screen playback. Live TV, media servers, network files, and local videos count toward playback time. The allowances reset at local midnight. Ceau Pro is an optional one-time in-app purchase for unlimited playback. View remaining time in Settings > Ceau Pro and restore purchases with the same App Store account.

CARPLAY VIDEO
Browse IPTV sources, favorites, and recents on your CarPlay display. Watch compatible IPTV videos while parked in a supported vehicle. Requires iOS 27 or later and a vehicle that supports CarPlay video; video availability is controlled by the vehicle. Media-server libraries and local files are not available in the CarPlay browser.
