Turn a Messy Playlist Into One Tidy Library

A few minutes of tidying, and the firehose becomes a library you actually enjoy opening.

A raw IPTV playlist is a firehose — thousands of channels, duplicated movies, and shows scattered across folders. Here is how Klave turns that flood into one tidy library.

01

Start with a dedupe

The moment you import, Klave scans every source and merges duplicate titles. The same movie from your provider, your NAS, and your home media server collapses into a single tile. Nothing is deleted — every copy is still there, one tap away in a quiet version picker.

“One entry per movie — switch quality or language in a tap.”
02

Group your shows by season

Episodes that arrive as a flat, alphabetical list get reassembled into seasons and episodes automatically — with per-episode resume, watched marks, and auto-play-next. Your shows finally look like they belong in a real streaming app.

Tip
Long-press any category to reorder it, or bulk-hide the ones you never watch. Your edits survive the next provider refresh.
03

Bulk-hide the junk

  1. 1Open Library → Manage on any device.
  2. 2Select the categories you never open.
  3. 3Tap Hide — they disappear from every device, synced through your own iCloud.

That is it. The mess is gone for good — privately, with no account and no tracking. You bring the playlist; Klave keeps it organized.
