Ready-Made IPTV Apps and Panels
If you want a working IPTV app or reseller panel rather than building the player and auth layer from zero, these are ready to customize and deploy:
- Azul TV Player — Flutter, Android/iOS/Android TV, Xtream + m3u auth
- StarBox IPTV — React.js/TypeScript web player with a public live preview
- Smart IPTV Pro — a more compact React.js web player option
- GMAX TV Player — Flutter with genuine desktop (Windows/macOS) support alongside mobile
- Wify TV Player, GOLDTV IPTV Smarters, and UM3U — additional Flutter IPTV/media player options
- The Ultimate Reseller Panel — a modern reskin of the default Xtream UI reseller panel
Want It Rebranded to Your Business?
