## What it is
iPlay is a cross-platform multimedia player app supporting Emby and Jellyfin servers, with multiple player cores (mpv, VLC, ExoPlayer), multi-site switching, IPTV live sources, and danmaku support. It runs on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, XBox, and HarmonyOS.

## Use cases
- play videos from my emby server on android and ios
- cross-platform jellyfin client with mpv
- watch iptv live streams on windows
- media player app for xbox and harmonyos
- switch between multiple media server sites in one app
- play streaming urls with ytdl support

## When to choose
- you use Emby or Jellyfin and want a native multi-platform client
- you want a choice of player engines like mpv or VLC
- you need one app across Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, XBox, and HarmonyOS

## When to avoid
- you need a fully stable release - many builds are marked Beta
