Cineteca TV

Stream your own movie collection on Apple TV. Connect to your network server, browse posters instantly, and enjoy smooth playback in one sleek library.

Cineteca TV turns your Apple TV into a home for the movies you already own.

Point Cineteca TV at a media server on your local network — no cloud, no subscriptions, no third-party accounts. Discover SMB shares automatically, or add a server manually, and let Cineteca TV scan your files and build a clean library right on the big screen.

FIND YOUR MOVIES, NOT YOUR FOLDERS Cineteca TV reads your video file names and automatically extracts the title and release year, stripping out clutter like resolution tags, codecs, and release-group names. Browse a tidy grid instead of a messy file tree.

CONNECT ON YOUR TERMS

• Automatic discovery of SMB shares on your local network
• Manual server setup for shares outside auto-discovery
• Credentials stored securely in the Keychain — never sent anywhere else
• Manage multiple servers, ordered the way you use them

STREAM DIRECTLY, NO COPYING Play video straight from your server — no need to copy files onto your Apple TV. Supports common formats including MP4, MKV, M4V, AVI, MOV, and TS.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN Cineteca TV doesn't upload your library or track what you watch. Your files stay on your own server — the app is just the window into it on Apple TV.

Built for people who already have a personal movie collection and want a fast, native way to browse and watch it on Apple TV.
