Plex and IPTV in one app

Your films and series live on your Plex server; your live channels come from an IPTV provider. Interlace shows both in one place — a live TV alternative that sits right next to your Plex library instead of in a second app.

How the two sit together

  • One Home. Continue Watching from Plex next to On your channels tonight and Live Now from your guide. Arrange the rows under Settings › Home screen.
  • One Library. Plex films and series plus your provider’s on-demand catalogue, filtered by All, Movies, Series and IPTV VOD. When a provider film matches one in Plex by title and year, it appears once.
  • One search. Titles and channels in the same results; Live TV searches Channels & programmes.
  • One player. Plex titles and live channels play in the same player, with audio and subtitle tracks a tap away. Watch state stays in sync with Plex.
  • One remote. Pick your Apple TV under Play on and the iPhone becomes the remote.

Set it up

  1. Install Interlace and tap “Sign in with Plex”. Enter the code at plex.tv/link; Interlace connects to your Plex Media Server.
  2. On “Add your own IPTV”, choose “M3U URL” or “Xtream Codes” and fill in what your provider gave you. Tap “Connect”.
  3. Optional: “Connect Seerr” to request films and series through Overseerr or Jellyseerr — or tap “Skip for now”.
  4. Tap “Enter Interlace”.
  5. On Apple TV, choose “Sync from iCloud” to bring the same setup over.

Interlace doesn’t provide any channels — you bring your own IPTV provider and playlist. Step-by-step help: M3U playlist on Apple TV, Xtream Codes login, programme guide.

Questions

FAQ

01Do I need a Plex Pass?

Not for Interlace. Plex requires a Plex Pass on the server or a Remote Watch Pass for streaming outside your home network; at home it isn’t needed.

02Does IPTV go through my Plex server?

No. Interlace plays your channels directly from your IPTV provider; your Plex server isn’t involved.

03Can I hide the provider’s films and series?

Yes. Switch off “Video-on-demand” in Settings › IPTV. Live TV is not affected.

04Can I use only one of the two?

Neither — both are optional. Set up Plex, IPTV or both; skip the one you don't use and add it later under Settings.
