A player only: you bring the media.

Desktop companion

Your computer, working for your TV.

A small app for your Mac or PC that does the heavy lifting a TV stick can’t: recording, compressing and serving your own media library.

One evening

  1. Records

    Choose a programme, a time or a weekly repeat. Your computer records it while you’re out or asleep.

  2. Shrinks

    When a recording finishes, the companion compresses it in the background, so a season takes a fraction of the disk space.

  3. Serves

    Recordings, and the films and home videos in the folders you choose, appear in iX Media Player on any paired device.

Set up in a minute.

  1. Install the companion

    Download it for your computer and choose where recordings and your library are kept.

  2. Pair with a code

    Open Settings in iX Media Player. It finds your computer on your home network; confirm the code and they’re paired.

  3. Press play

    Recordings and your library show up alongside everything else. Unpair at any time from Settings.

It stays
at home.

The companion talks to iX Media Player over your own network. Your recordings and your library stay on your computer. Record and keep only what you have the right to.

The companion is optional: iX Media Player works without it.
