Common questions
Is Plozz really free?
Yes. Plozz is free software, licensed under the GPL-3.0 and open source — no subscriptions, no ads, no upsells. If it’s useful to you, sponsorship is welcome but never required.
Is Plozz a free alternative to Infuse on Apple TV?
Yes. Plozz is a completely free, open-source player for Apple TV, iPhone and iPad, with no subscription or paid feature tier. Connect your supported media server or network share. See Plozz as an Infuse alternative, including connection options and limitations.
How does Plozz compare with other Apple TV media apps?
Plozz combines supported servers and network shares in a completely free, open-source player. Infuse, VLC, Plex, Emby and Swiftfin each suit different setups; VLC and Swiftfin are also free and open source. Compare the players by library, workflow and what to check before switching.
Can I hear TrueHD Atmos and DTS:X height channels on Apple TV?
Yes. Plozz uses AetherEngine to render height audio from supported Dolby TrueHD Atmos and DTS:X tracks on tvOS 26 or later with compatible Atmos equipment. It uses Apple Positional Audio and Dolby MAT, not untouched bitstream passthrough. See requirements and the audio-quality tradeoff.
Does Plozz support IPTV and Live TV?
Yes, on Apple TV, iPhone and iPad. Connect your own M3U playlist or Xtream account, add an XMLTV guide, or use authorized Plex, Jellyfin and Emby channels. The guide includes search, favorites, recents and up to four-channel Multiview. Explore IPTV / Live TV. Plozz does not supply channels or a channel subscription.
Do I need a media server?
Use a Jellyfin, Plex, Emby or Silo server you have access to, or connect directly to SMB, NFS, WebDAV, SFTP or FTP storage. You can also bring your own IPTV playlist without a media-server account. Plozz doesn’t provide films, shows or public channels.
Does Plozz collect my data or track me?
There’s no Plozz account or usage analytics. Server credentials stay in the device Keychain; iCloud sync carries non-secret setup and preferences. Approved device-to-device setup can transfer eligible logins, but Silo always needs separate approval on the receiving device. Connected metadata services and trackers receive the requests needed for their features. Read the privacy policy.
How do I install it?
Use the public TestFlight invitation for Apple TV, iPhone and iPad. The build available to you depends on Apple’s beta review and TestFlight availability.
What’s different on each device?
All three have native playback, libraries, profiles and in-player version selection. iPhone and iPad add offline downloads, movie/episode streaming-quality controls, Picture in Picture and AirPlay. Apple TV has remote-focused navigation and Top Shelf. There are no offline downloads or mobile-style streaming-quality controls on Apple TV.
Does Silo need its Jellyfin compatibility mode?
No. Plozz connects to Silo’s native v2 API. Approve the device in Silo, then choose the server profile. Its library restrictions, PIN protection and watch history remain server-owned. Silo support and limitations.
Can I reduce streaming data use?
On iPhone and iPad, set movie and episode quality for your local network, remote Wi-Fi/Ethernet and cellular connections. Choose a preset or independent resolution and total-bitrate limits. Originals play when they fit; otherwise the server must support conversion. These controls don’t change music, Live TV, downloads or network-share playback. Quality details.
Can I change versions without leaving the player?
Yes, on Apple TV, iPhone and iPad. Pick another file or edition on the active server/account while keeping your position, pause state, speed, quality and matching tracks. Different cuts can have different timelines. This is version switching, not in-player server switching.
Are Plozz profiles the same as server users?
No. Plozz profiles keep presentation, library choices and preferences separate. Connected server users or profiles still own their permissions and watch history. A Plozz household profile doesn’t create or replace a Plex or Silo identity.
Is every server feature available without a subscription?
Plozz has no paid tier, but it can’t remove a server’s requirements. Transcoding, downloads and other server-backed features depend on its capabilities, configuration and permissions. Plex Common Sense Media topic guidance requires an eligible active Plex user with Plex Pass access; it isn’t available across all providers.
Is there a Plozz community?
