Skip to content Build your Ultimate Playlist: pick categories from every playlist you own
Choose the exact categories you want out of each playlist you own, in the order you want them, and browse them as one list with one guide.
Most players let you switch between playlists. mtivi lets you build a new one out of the parts you actually watch.
Pick the sports groups from one service, the films from another, the kids channels from a third, put them in the order you want, name it, and from then on it behaves like a single playlist with a single guide. The app calls the result your Ultimate Playlist. Your original playlists are never touched.
Build one
- Settings, then Playlists, then create a combined playlist
The wizard opens at step 1 of 5.
- Choose your playlists
Tick the ones to draw from. Xtream and M3U playlists mix freely, and the order you put them in decides what shows first when two playlists carry the same channel.
- Choose your live TV groups
Every category from every chosen playlist, listed together. Search groups by name, take them all, take none, or tick the twelve you actually watch. Each one shows how many items it holds before you commit.
- Choose your movie groups, then your series groups
Same screen, same search. This is where you can take live TV from one service and the film catalog from another.
- Name it and review
The last step lists exactly what you picked, group by group. Save it and it appears beside your other playlists.
Why this is worth the two minutes
| What it solves | How |
|---|---|
| Two services, two remotes’ worth of digging | One list, one guide, one set of favorites |
| A backup playlist you never remember to check | Both feeds side by side, so a dead channel has a twin two rows away |
| Thousands of categories you will never open | You take the ones you want and leave the rest behind |
| The good films on one service, the good sport on another | Take live TV from one and movies from the other |
It stays yours to change
- Edit the mix at any time and the groups you add appear straight away.
- Rename it whenever you like.
- Deleting it leaves every original playlist exactly as it was. Only the mix and the choices in it go.
- Adding a new playlist later offers to fold it into the mix you already use.
If a section looks empty, the mix has no groups of that kind yet. Movies and series start unticked on purpose, so combining does not double your catalog unless you ask it to. Edit the mix and add the groups you want.
Plans
Combining is a paid feature: 2 combined playlists on the trial and on Pro, unlimited on Lifetime and Max. One you already built keeps working if your plan ends, because you keep what you have.
