Common questions

What is a source? Does Drive-In come with channels?

Drive-In is a player. It doesn't include or sell channels. A source is where your channels come from — a playlist link or an Xtream login from your TV provider.

Where do I find a source?

Your TV provider gives you a playlist link or an Xtream login. Videos on your iPhone play without a source — use “Play a video from Files” or “from Photos”.

I pasted a link and it says it isn't a channel list.

Open the link in Safari. A playlist shows text starting with #EXTM3U, or downloads a file. Make sure you copied the whole link.

Why does Home show only some of my channels?

Drive-In hides channels that failed to play recently. Open a group and tap “Show them” to see everything, or turn off Settings → Hide channels that don't play.

A channel keeps loading, is black, or has no sound.

Try another channel first. If only one fails, the provider may be down. If many fail, check your internet — and your plan may allow only one device at a time.

The sound is ahead of or behind the picture.

In Settings → Player, choose Backup player. Play the channel, tap the wave button, and move the slider until voices match lips. Drive-In remembers it for that channel. Sound delay is part of Drive-In Pro.

Which formats can Drive-In play?

Playlists (M3U, M3U8), Xtream, HLS and HTTP streams, and video files including MKV and HEVC. Streams Apple's player can't open switch to the backup player automatically.

Can I watch on my car's screen?

Where your car supports Apple's video in the car, use the AirPlay button while parked. We're working on more car features.

I bought Pro but it isn't active.

Open Settings → Drive-In Pro and tap Restore purchase, signed in with the Apple Account you bought it with.
