Most IPTV services never tell you what they are working on. You pay, you get a playlist link, and whatever changes on the servers over the next twelve months happens silently — a channel appears, a guide breaks, an app stops updating, and nobody explains any of it.
We would rather do the opposite. This is the Zoryflix roadmap: what we are building next, in the order we intend to build it, with the reasoning behind each decision and an honest list of what we have chosen not to do. Much of it is unglamorous — guide data, server capacity. That is deliberate: the features people ask for loudest are rarely the ones that fix their evening.
Why an IPTV service should publish a roadmap
The IPTV market has a trust problem and it is entirely self-inflicted. Providers appear with a slick landing page, sell twelve-month plans, and are gone by month four. The standard advice — start with one month, never pay a year up front to a name you do not know — exists because that pattern repeats constantly.
A public roadmap is one of the few things a provider can do about it. It is a set of commitments that anyone can check later. If the guide rebuild described below has not landed by the time you renew, this page is the evidence, and you are entitled to hold it against us. Services that intend to disappear do not write documents like this, because the document outlives them.
Where Zoryflix stands today
The starting point, so the improvements below have something to be measured against — the numbers as they are this month, not the marketing round-ups.
| Where we are | Today | Where it needs to be |
|---|---|---|
| Live channels | 75,000+ from 60+ countries | Fewer duplicates, not a bigger number |
| On-demand library | 260,000+ films and series | Complete artwork, plots and subtitles on every entry |
| Guide (EPG) | Full guide, uneven outside the major markets | Seven days accurate everywhere, in correct local time |
| Uptime | 99.9% target, automatic failover | The same figure on a Saturday at kick-off |
| Setup | Third-party players, playlist pasted by hand | Sign in with an email address |
| Account changes | Through support, 24/7 on WhatsApp and email | Self-service for the routine ones |
First — stability, which is the boring half
Nearly every support request falls into one of four buckets: it will not activate, the picture stutters, the guide is wrong, or one specific channel is dead. Almost nothing on the queue is a request for a new feature. So the near-term work is aimed squarely at those four.
Rebuilding the guide from the source up
in progress
The EPG is the most-complained-about part of every IPTV service, ours included, and the reason is structural. Guide data is stitched together from dozens of regional feeds, each with its own channel identifiers and its own idea of a time zone. When they disagree you get a football match listed an hour late, or a channel showing yesterday’s schedule.
We are replacing that patchwork with a single normalised pipeline: one internal identifier per channel, every feed mapped onto it, time zones resolved per country rather than per feed, and a nightly check that flags any channel whose guide has not refreshed. The visible result is a seven-day guide that matches what is actually on screen, including in the smaller markets where it currently drifts.
The side effect matters as much as the guide itself. Clean identifiers are what make catch-up, recording and a proper search possible — none of those can be built on data this messy, which is why they sit later on this page rather than earlier.
More edge capacity, aimed at peak time
in progress
Average uptime is a comfortable number that hides the only moment anyone cares about. Nobody notices a healthy Tuesday afternoon; they notice ninety seconds of stutter in the first half. Load is extremely concentrated — prime-time evenings in the UK and North America, and weekend afternoons — and capacity has to be sized for that spike, not for the average.
The work here is adding edge nodes in the regions where our subscribers actually watch, and rebalancing so that a busy node hands over before it degrades rather than after. We are also instrumenting the failover itself, because a switch that takes eight seconds is an outage in practice even though it never appears as downtime in a report.
The measure of whether it is working is not our uptime figure. It is whether you still reach for the remote at 21:00 on a Saturday.
A good share of buffering is not on our side
We can add servers all year and it will not fix a stream crossing a crowded 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Before you blame any provider, run an ethernet cable to the device for one evening and compare — our speed guide has the numbers, and the buffering checklist works through the rest in order.
Next — the Zoryflix app and an account you can log into
The biggest single source of failed setups is the setup itself. A new subscriber, ten minutes after paying, is asked to sideload an unfamiliar player, choose between Xtream Codes and an M3U link, and type a long URL with a remote control. Our Firestick guide exists because that process needs a thousand words of explanation. It should not.
A player for Android TV, Firestick and Android phones
next
One app, signed in with the email you ordered with. No playlist link, no server address, no credentials kept in a notes file. The channel list, the guide and the film library arrive already configured, and your favourites follow you from the television to the phone because they live on the account rather than on the device.
We are not trying to out-feature TiviMate. It is an excellent player with years of refinement behind it and it will keep working with our service exactly as it does now — if you have already built a layout you like, nothing about it changes. The app is for the person whose hardest ten minutes of the whole subscription are the first ten.
Android TV and Fire OS come first because that is where most of our subscribers watch. iOS and Samsung’s Tizen are a separate conversation, for reasons covered further down.
A self-service account area
next
Right now every account change goes through a human, and most of those messages are the same five requests: resend my credentials, when does my plan expire, add a connection, my line is locked after a device conflict, change the email on the order. None of that needs a conversation at two in the morning.
The account area handles all five, plus a renewal you can start yourself and an invoice you can download. Support stays 24/7 and stays human — taking password resets away from it is exactly what lets it spend real time on the tickets that need a person.
Later — the library, the household and catch-up
Once the guide data is clean and the app is carrying the account, several things become possible that are not possible today. They are grouped here because they share the same foundation, and none can honestly be promised before it exists.
| What | What changes for you | Depends on |
|---|---|---|
| VOD metadata pass | Posters, plots, cast and subtitles on every title, and search that finds a film by name | The same identifier work as the guide |
| Catch-up on major channels | Scroll back in the guide and start a programme that has already aired | Accurate EPG plus storage at the edge |
| Household profiles | Separate favourites per person and a PIN on adult categories | Accounts existing in the app |
| Connection management | See which devices are streaming, add a connection without opening a ticket | The account area |
Parental control deserves a mention of its own: a PIN that lives on the account rather than on the device is the only version that works, because a lock set inside a third-party player is undone by a factory reset or a second device.
Sport, and the only night that matters
Sport is where an IPTV service is judged, because it is the one thing that cannot be watched later. Nobody forgives a stutter at a penalty. The roadmap treats it as its own track rather than a side effect of general capacity work.
Three concrete things. First, event channels prepared and tested before kick-off rather than assembled during the pre-match build-up, so the feed you switch to at 20:55 has already been checked. Second, a preference for 50fps and 60fps sources on the fixtures where motion clarity actually shows, which matters more on football and hockey than resolution does. Third, a documented fallback: for the biggest fixtures, more than one source for the same match, so a failure means switching rather than missing.
One honest caveat: a major final loads every provider in this market simultaneously, ours included, and anyone promising a flawless stream on one of those nights is guessing. What we can promise is capacity planned in advance for the fixtures we know are coming, and support staffed while they are on.
What is not on the roadmap
The more useful half of any roadmap. These are deliberate decisions, not oversights, and each has cost us a sale at some point.
- Cheaper plans. Bandwidth at 4K has a floor, and providers underneath it are cutting something you cannot see — usually peak-time capacity. Our pricing will keep looking ordinary next to the three-dollar offers, and that is intended.
- Reseller panels. We sell to the person watching. Resold lines are why support desks in this industry cannot tell a real fault from an oversold one.
- Cheap lifetime deals. A $25 “lifetime” line is a loan against a service that has to keep paying for bandwidth every month, which is why the sellers of those deals stopped honouring them or vanished. Our lifetime plan is priced like about two and a half years of service, sold as a limited promotion that ends on October 31, 2026, and covered by the same 7-day refund as every plan; see what makes a lifetime offer credible.
- 8K. There is no meaningful 8K broadcast source, and a stream upscaled to 8K is just a bigger file of the same picture. A spec-sheet feature, and we will not advertise it.
- An app for every platform at once. Android TV and Fire OS first, properly. A rushed Tizen or iOS build would be worse than the third-party players people already use — our Samsung guide covers that route in the meantime.
- Claims about legality we cannot back. We provide server and software access. We do not host or broadcast content, and what is permitted where you live is your responsibility, not something a marketing page can settle for you.
How the order gets decided
Support tickets, mostly. Every ticket is tagged by cause and the tags are counted monthly — the four buckets at the top of this page are what that count produces, and the order here follows it almost exactly. The second input is why people leave after a single month, and those answers cluster just as tightly: the setup was too fiddly, the guide was wrong, one channel they cared about was missing.
What we do not do is build from feature requests in isolation. The loudest request we get is for a channel count above 75,000, and more duplicate feeds of the same networks would make the product measurably worse — slower lists, more dead entries, a guide that is harder to keep accurate. Trimming that list is on the roadmap. Growing it is not.
About the timing
There are deliberately no exact dates here. Two of these projects depend on infrastructure that is not entirely under our control, and a date we would have to walk back is worth less than a sequence we can keep to: guide data and capacity first, app and account next, library and household features after that, with the sport work running alongside all of it. This page gets updated as items ship rather than quietly replaced, and if something moves down the list the reason will be written here too.
Frequently asked questions
A rebuilt EPG pipeline and extra edge capacity for peak time come first. After that, a Zoryflix player for Android TV and Firestick that signs in with your order email, and a self-service account area for credentials, renewals and connections. Later: a VOD metadata pass, catch-up on major channels, household profiles with a PIN, and a dedicated track of work for live sport.
No. Everything on the roadmap is included in the plan you already have, on the same terms. The app, the account area and the guide improvements are not add-ons and there is no higher tier planned to put them behind.
It is the next major project after the guide and capacity work, starting with Android TV, Fire OS and Android phones. We are not publishing an exact date, because the projects ahead of it depend on infrastructure we do not fully control and a date we would have to walk back is worth less than a sequence we can keep to.
No. TiviMate, IPTV Smarters Pro and every other player that works with the service today will keep working exactly as they do now. The app exists to make the first ten minutes easier for new subscribers, not to replace a setup you have already tuned to your liking.
The list already carries more than 75,000 channels and a large part of any further growth would be duplicate feeds of networks that are already there. Duplicates make the list slower to scroll, leave more dead entries behind and make the guide harder to keep accurate. Trimming and de-duplicating the list is on the roadmap; inflating the number is not.
Yes, as a limited promotion that ends on October 31, 2026: one payment, up to five devices at the same time, and the same 7-day money-back guarantee as every plan. It is priced like about two and a half years of service rather than a few months, because a lifetime line has to pay for bandwidth for years. Current terms are on the pricing page.
Catch-up on major channels is on the roadmap, but it sits behind the guide rebuild: rewinding into a programme needs guide data whose identifiers and times are exactly right. Built on the current patchwork it would start the wrong programme, so the foundation comes first.
Judge it against this page
Clean guide data and enough capacity for a Saturday evening. An app that removes the worst ten minutes of the subscription, and an account you can manage without messaging anyone. Then the library, the household features and catch-up, with sport treated as its own problem throughout. In that order, and nothing on the list is behind an upgrade.
If you already subscribe, the most useful thing you can do for this roadmap is keep sending tickets — their tags set the order. If you are still deciding, start with a short plan, hold us to what is written here, and only then pay for a year. The plans are on the pricing page, all of them with the 7-day money-back guarantee.
