Vela turns the Xtream login or M3U playlist you already have into a TV app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and now Apple TV. Every title shows a match score for your taste, worked out on the device, with the reasons behind it (Vela Pro). Plus a real TV guide, a page for every film and series, MKV, HEVC and DTS playback, and casting to AirPlay, Google Cast and DLNA TVs. No content included, no accounts, no analytics.
Hi Product Hunt, I'm Arpit, and I build Vela on my own.
Vela is a player for iPhone, iPad, Mac and, since last week, Apple TV. You sign in with an Xtream login or an M3U playlist you already have, and it turns that into a TV guide you can read at a glance and a library you can actually find things in. It includes no channels and no content, and it isn't a provider.
The part I'm proudest of is the match. Every title shows a score for your taste, and one tap shows why: the titles you watched that led to it, and how much each part counted. It's worked out on the device, from what you alone watch, finish, like and search for. Vela has no server, no accounts and no analytics. The App Store label reads Data Not Collected, and your login stays in the Keychain.
Also in there:
a TV guide grid with a line at now
a page for every film and series: cast, release, rating, and the picture, sound and subtitle tracks the stream carries
playback for the files iOS won't open (MKV, AVI, HEVC, AC3, DTS)
casting to AirPlay, Google Cast and DLNA TVs, with your phone as the remote
12 languages, Arabic right to left included
New in 1.6.0: Vela on Apple TV. Home opens on your top pick, every poster shows its match, and the Siri Remote changes channel. One Vela Pro covers iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV.
Pricing: free to download. The free plan pauses playback for a moment every 10 minutes. A 14-day trial of everything starts when you first sign in. Vela Pro (the match and picks, search as you type, no breaks) is USD 14.99 a year, or USD 29.99 once for Lifetime; the app shows your own store's price.
For Product Hunt: the code PRODUCTHUNT gives you a year of Vela Pro free, if you're not subscribed already. It doesn't renew by itself, so there's nothing to cancel. Valid until 4 November: apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6799030809&code=PRODUCTHUNT
What I'd most like is feedback: what's missing for the way you watch, and what confused you in the first five minutes?
