Roadmap

What we are working on and what comes after it. Plans change, so nothing here has a date or is a promise. Until it appears in the changelog, it is not in the app.

Now

Being worked on for the next updates

  • Stronger parental controls

    A parent PIN for switching and editing profiles, and adult content kept behind the PIN everywhere in the app.

  • Playback and resume fixes

    Restart a finished film, subtitles that clear after seeking, and a Continue Watching row that stays up to date.

  • Clearer error messages

    Telling a lost internet connection apart from a problem with your provider.

  • Edit a playlist after adding it

    Change the server, username or password without deleting the playlist.

  • Better TV guide matching

    More channels matched to their guide automatically. The first step shipped in 1.9.2.

Next

Planned after the current work

  • Household licence

    One purchase that covers several TVs in the same home.

  • Catch-up TV

    Watch earlier programmes from the guide, on channels where your provider offers it.

  • TV guide health check

    See which channels have no guide data and why.

  • Backup provider

    If a channel fails, offer the same channel from another playlist you have added.

  • Playback diagnostics

    When a stream will not open, show whether the cause is the connection, the login, the source or the video format.

Later

We want to build these, the order may change

  • Apple TV app

    A separate native app, so it is a project of its own.

  • Cloud sync

    Favourites and watch history across your TVs.

  • Movie duplicate merge

    One card for a film, with a choice of sources.

  • Category nesting

    Group several categories under one in the menu.

  • Multiview

    Two streams at once first, then more where the TV can handle it. Each stream may use a connection from your provider.

  • Pause and rewind live TV

    Go back a little in a live broadcast.

  • Recording

    Needs careful design for storage and low-memory TV boxes.

  • Backup and restore

    Keep your profiles, favourites and settings when you move to a new TV.

  • Playlist clean-up

    Merge duplicate channels, remove unwanted categories and group SD and HD versions.

  • Subtitle timing

    Adjust subtitle delay and set a preferred language.

Not planned

Requests we have decided against, and why.

  • Stremio add-ons

    Add-ons are a common route to unlicensed content, and IPFlix only plays playlists you already have the right to use.

  • Built-in VPN

    A dedicated VPN app does this better, and you can run one alongside IPFlix.
