Posters first, with the details on top

Movies and Series each open on a wall of posters. Move along it with the remote and the title you’re on fills the top of the screen, with Resume 5:27 for a film you started or Continue S1 E2 for a series.

Favourites, Continue watching, History and Recently added, then your provider’s own categories
Recently added films and series on the home screen too, as rows of posters
Search finds films and series in all your playlists at once
Search filters: a minimum rating (IMDb for films, TVmaze for series), year, category, and newest or highest rated first

Every film page filled in

Many providers send a title and a poster, and little else. When the plot, cast or ratings are missing, Showvee looks the film up at Wikipedia and Wikidata, straight from your TV, and credits them on the page. You can switch this off in Settings › Playlists.

Plot, director, cast, ratings and a trailer, when those sites have them

Series that know what’s next

Seasons and episodes in order, with a bar on every episode you started. The big button does the sensible thing: here it resumes episode 2 at 0:44, and once an episode is done it starts the next one. Near the end of a longer episode, an Up next card lines up the next one.

Episode names from TVmaze, or Wikipedia, when your provider only sends numbers or dates
Jump to any season or episode, or play them in reverse order

A general comparison of features by kind of app, not of any particular product: other apps differ from one version to the next. Showvee, like any player, comes with no channels or other content.

From the service you already have

Films and series come from your Xtream Codes login or MAG portal, or from an M3U playlist that lists them. Showvee comes with none of its own.

Three new titles a day, free

The free version starts three new films or series a day, and carrying on with one you started never counts. Premium has no daily limit.
