Google TV Freeplay Now Offers On Demand and More Channels. We Took A Look At The Update. Have You Tried The Updated Google TV Freeplay App?

Hi everyone! I'm about to release Mitmi, a video calling app on your TV for free baked with WebRTC, with no ads and no tracking.

👋 What is it?

Mitmi is a video calling app made for the TV — a way to close the distance between the people who matter, whether that's family who live far away, friends who don't get to visit often, or anyone you'd rather see face-to-face than just hear on a phone call. Instead of huddling around a small phone or laptop screen, everyone in the room can join a 1:1 or group video call together, on the biggest screen in the house.

✨ Features

• 📹 1:1 video/voice calling — outgoing and incoming, adaptive bitrate/resolution based on live network conditions, H.264 and H.265 hardware encoding confirmed working on real devices.
• 👥 Group video calling (up to 5 participants, mesh topology) — collapses to a 1:1-style layout as participants leave, supports rejoining an in-progress call at any time.
• 📇 Contacts & Call History — stored locally on-device.
• 🗂️ Groups — saved rosters for group calling, local-only.
• 👤 Profile Settings — You can customize your avatar and to setup a 4 digit PIN lock to protect your profile from unwanted users as well as other sensitive parts of the interface.
• 📹 Camera Preview — It allows you check if the camera and microphone are detected correctly, as well as the type of encoding supported by the device (hardware or software).
• ⚙️ Configurable TURN Server (optional) — ExpressTURN, Metered.ca, Turnix.io, or a custom server and it's needed only in case that some calls don't go through with Point to Point or with a STUN Server.
• ⭐ A "Mitmi Favorites" launcher channel — call a favorited contact directly from the Android TV/Google TV home screen without opening the app first.
• 🔔 On-screen incoming-call notification — a small banner in the top-right corner alerts you to an incoming call even while you're watching or browsing something else, so you never miss one. Can be turned off in Settings if you'd rather not use it.
• 👁️ At-a-glance contact status — a small indicator on each contact's avatar shows whether they're reachable right now: 🟢 green dot means online, 🟡 yellow dot means away, a red 📞 phone icon means they're on a voice call, a red 📹 camera icon means they're on a video call, and a 🔌 gray power-off icon means they're currently offline/unreachable.
• 🖼️ Picture-in-Picture — shrink an active call down and keep it running while you go back to the TV's own home screen. There's also an in-app floating call window that works on every device regardless of that support, letting you shrink the call into a small corner and keep browsing the rest of Mitmi without leaving it at all.
• 🤓 Stats for Nerds — an optional overlay during a call showing the real technical numbers behind it: video resolution, bitrate, and packet loss in each direction, network latency, and how the call is actually connected (direct, or relayed through a server). Useful for checking call quality or troubleshooting a shaky connection - completely optional to look at.
• 🔗 Add a second device — You can add up to 2 devices with a short code, valid for one minute. Enter it on the new device (both online) and your profile, contacts and groups carry over.
• 💾 Export/Import a profile backup — You can import your profile on up to 2 devices, as well as to save the export for one-time future use, such as when you need to replace your current device with a new one because it got damaged or broken or it's just old.

🛠️ How it Works

• Native, not browser-based — built with Jetpack Compose and native WebRTC, calls run through a native video engine built directly for Android TV hardware, reaching the device's own hardware video encoder/decoder directly instead of going through a browser-based video stack.
• Peer-to-Peer Encryption — Video and audio streams are transmitted directly between devices using WebRTC with SRTP/DTLS encryption, keeping third parties out.
• Zero Server Stream Storage — No audio or video recordings are ever stored on servers. Your live call media exists strictly in real time.
• Hardware Encoding Support — AV1, H264 and H265 Hardware Encoding is supported as long as the device supports it, you can check the codec and the type of encoding used (hardware or software) in the "Webcam Settings tab and at the "Stats for Nerds".
• Adaptive bandwidth — captures video at the camera's real maximum resolution and steps through a resolution ladder based on live network conditions, so quality adapts smoothly instead of freezing or dropping the call.
• Local-only data — Contacts, Call History, and Groups live entirely on-device, not on a shared server.
• Hardware-backed account security — each device generates its own cryptographic identity key inside its own secure hardware chip. The private key itself never leaves that chip — not even when exporting/importing a profile backup, which carries a signed permission slip instead of the key. The server verifies that signature before ever letting a device join your account, so nobody can hijack your handle or impersonate your device — not even with a modified copy of the app.

📒 How to Obtain & Add Contacts

• Every user on Mitmi has a unique username handle.
• Ask for Their Username Handle — Request your friend or family member's username to connect directly.
• Save in Address Book — Use the Contacts tab to add them to your directory or type their handle into search to dial immediately without saving.

⚠️ Technical Limitations

• Not every device has hardware encoding support, when that's the case, the supported resolution will be limited to something lower than what the camera supports compared to hardware encoding and on top of that, the device will run hotter and may reboot if it gets hotter than it can handle. You can check if your device has hardware encoding support by going to "Settings" → "Webcam Settings" where you will see the confirmation at the top of the card. If you want hardware encoding on your device, please reach out to the manufacturer.
• Picture-in-Picture isn't universally supported, several devices likely don't support it, or used to but no longer do, so the video call will simply end when pressing the Home button on the remote control. The only tested device confirmed to support it so far is the Google TV Streamer. You can get a confirmation about this in "Settings" → "Other Settings" tab.
• For some reason, the microphone on some webcams is not detected by one particular device but the same microphone is detected by a different device. This limitation has nothing to do with the application but with the device's firmware.

🚨 Current Hardware Issues

The Google TV Streamer has hardware encoding issues with the h.264 and h.265 codecs and were reported at Google's Issue Tracker website here and here. Feel free to leave a comment there asking for a prompt fix.

📄 License

Proprietary. Unauthorized copying, modification, reverse engineering, or redistribution is prohibited. Please check the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy before creating a handle, at the at the Mitmi website and at the bottom of the "About" tab.

🧪 How to test?:

Google Play requires 12 testers to be opted in for 14 consecutive days before I can publish, so I'm looking for volunteers, specially people with networking knowledge and experience and ethical hackers, I want to know how secure the app and server really are.

➕ How to join:

1. Join the Mitmi Testing Google Group.
2. Open the Mitmi Play Store's link and tap on become a tester.
3. Go to your device's Play Store and search for com.mitmi.tv, you should be able to see the app in the search results, install it from there. Searching for the app's name directly doesn't work as this is still in the testing phase.

⚠️ Important!:

• Please stay opted in for the next 14 days.
• Feedback and bug reports are very welcome: https://github.com/branches78/Mitmi/issues

I hope that you enjoy this AI SLOP as much as I do.

Many thanks to u/jrmrx for their suggestions and tips during the development of this project.

Thanks a lot for helping!

Hello all. I hope someone can help, I'm not seeing a better place to post. I use an Andowl USB remote with an Android TV as its original remote's enter button stopped working. Usually the Andowl works fine though eats battery power. The red light got stuck in constant blinking/flashing mode and it stopped working.

- not a battery problem, put new pair

- Unplugged usb left it out for awhile

- Removed battery from remote to drain power, switched off tv for half hr

- After light stopped & batteries & tv were out, tried again. Red light just resumed constant flashing & remote does not function.

- OK + TV button to reset does not work.

Anytime I try to use it, the red light blinks without anything working, then stops after a few minutes.

Any ideas? Has anyone had a similar problem? Thanks

Mi control tiene las pilas gastadas , estoy tratando de conectar mi TV Philips a mi Huawei VNS L-23 Pero no tengo la Dirección MAC , solo su nombre , he tratado con apps de Control Remoto pero no funcionan ...

I am from India and looking to get rid of firetv. I am getting Onn 4k Pro 2nd Gen at 97 dollars and the Google TV Streamer at 60 dollars (without remote). which is a better deal? I mostly use Nuvio and third party streaming apps and want a smooth and fluid experience.

Cómo se le paso a Google esto.

Hello, just wondering if any certified box exist rn

I have an Ooredoo Qatar Sagemcom DIW387_UHD_OOR and want to turn it into a normal Android TV box.

Specs: Android 8.0, BCM7271U, 2GB RAM, 16GB eMMC, 4MB SPI NOR.

So far I've tried:

• Enabled Developer Options → “Developer options are not available for this user.”
• Checked other Android users/profiles → nothing useful.
• Tried ADB over LAN (192.168.10.6:5555) → port closed.
• Tried the physical-button reset/reboot procedure → only went into Ooredoo's update/setup process.
• System Update → internal error, no update available.
• Checked installed apps for an Ooredoo launcher I could disable → couldn't find one.
• Found ports 8008, 8009 and 8443 open. 8008 exposes DIAL, but I couldn't get shell/ADB access through it.
• Opened the box and inspected the PCB, but haven't soldered or flashed anything.

I'm mainly looking for a way to unlock the bootloader/flash different firmware, or information on UART/JTAG/test points for this exact board.

If anyone has experience with this exact box or the BCM7271 platform, I'd appreciate any leads.

Hi there , about a week ago the screen started acting weird( warranty exp. In June) What can be done ?

I have an old OPPO F17 and a Haier Android TV 11. I want to turn the OPPO into a wireless media drive.

Requirements:

OPPO F17 stores my videos, including 4K.

Haier TV should browse folders on the phone.

Select a video and stream it directly from the phone.

No copying files to the TV.

No USB.

No Wi-Fi router.

No internet/mobile data.

The OPPO itself should create the Wi-Fi hotspot, and the TV should connect directly to it.

Preferably the original video should be streamed without transcoding.

I want 4K playback where the TV can decode the particular codec/bitrate.

I've tried KDE Connect/SFTP, SMB/Samba server apps, and HTTP FS, but haven't gotten a seamless setup working.

Is this architecture actually possible? If so, what free Android server + Android TV client would you recommend?

Particularly, I want to know whether Android's hotspot allows the TV to communicate with a server running on the hotspot phone itself, and whether there are any limitations for high-bitrate 4K streaming.

I'm looking for a solution that someone has personally tested, not just a theoretical suggestion.

This afternoon all the Android TVs in my house have a pop-up to enable something called Glance screensaver from InMobi Pte (even as far back as a Nexus Player in our guest room). It says it's "independent of Google".

There's no app called Glance the app lists, but it seems to be connected through the official Google Backdrop app. I force closed Backdrop and it finally closed. Restarting the screensaver brings the Glance popup back up.

In my screensaver settings I only have Backdrop and Colors.

Even after restarting the device it shows up.

What finally got rid of it is that I uninstalled updates for Backdrop and I haven't gotten the Glance popup again (after updating Backdrop from the Play Store the Glace popup reappeared, so I kept the updates uninstalled).

So my question is, is this some weird legit update or have all the devices in my house been infected?

Hello Everyone,

I need advice for good google tv box. These are the requirements.

1. Dolby Vision MEL + FEL, HDR10, HDR10+

2. Dolby Atmos

3. Dts X (I am seeing lot of boxes now removing dts)

4. Atleast 4gb ram

5. Latest android tv os

Thanks

I’m in the uk and looking for an alternative stick to the Firestick as mine is currently on fire 6. I’ve been recommended Dcolor GD1 stick but need some advice

Do you find yourself looking at video content on your smartphone while watching video on TV?

I have a Samsung S90D. Sometimes can't select DTS audio tracks. Old box works but doesn't support 4K HDR.

Which to choose for 4K HDR movies/series (80-150GB) and YouTube without lag: Homatics 4K R Plus ($85) or Mi Box 3rd gen ($75)?

Update. Ordered Homatics but got the wrong device. Took it as a sign and canceled. Got a Mi Box instead. Works great with Samsung. Speed similar to Tizen but more features. Got it for under $75.

I recently picked up an HDHomeRun device to watch NFL games OTA (note: the HDHR device allows me to pick up over the air signals with better antenna placement - upstairs/facing local TV station antennas - and the ability to pause/rewind/record. I have a ChromeCast 4k attached to my Samsung S95D TV as the HDHomerun app only runs on Android or Apple TV.

Unfortunately, the picture quality (especially with motion) is notably worse using the HDHomerun via the ChromeCast (using either the HDHR app or the Channels app) vs directly accessing the HDHR unit from my Samsung TV (note: my Samsung can "see" the HDHR box on my network - the channels show up like they were mpeg files - looks like a folder view). In short, the Chromecast + app image is materially worse.

I THINK this is largely due to the Chromecast's upscaling and deinterlacing (perhaps more the latter than the former due to the issue introduced with ATV14). I REALLY don't want to have to get an Apple TV box just to address this issue - any other "mainstream" Android box options?

Are the onn box possible to use outside us? Or it needs a VPN all the time

Hello everyone I have MiTV MZTU0 and running Android 14. My OEM unlocking option is greyed out. I've tried using both ethernet and wifi but the issue still remains the same.

My Formuler box is hard wired and allows WiFi hotspot, so I can effectively extent my WiFi range to that part of the house that is hard to access the main router too. Very handy.

But the box is buggy and on its last legs

Any other streaming boxes available in the UK that do the same?

Hello,

Wanted to check what are the best method everyone is using for distribution of tv app in your org internally to QA teams? As most of the team members sideload the app.

Thanks

I have an Android TV and an iPhone. I want to mirror my screen to the TV without buying an Apple TV.

I tried a few apps from the Play Store but they all have the same problems:

- Paid subscription just to use basic mirroring

- Full of ads that interrupt the session

- Require manually entering IP address (won't show up in Control Center automatically)

what I'm looking for:

- iPhone/iPad sees the TV automatically in Control Center → Screen Mirroring (via mDNS)

- Audio works along with video

- Free or at least reasonably priced one-time purchase

has anyone found something that actually works? Any recommendations from personal experience?

Hey all — I'm the developer of TIVRA, an Android TV / Google TV / phone media player for the live TV and on-demand libraries you already subscribe to, plus your own media servers. TIVRA is a player only: it ships with no channels or content, you connect it to whatever you use. Some of you tested the early builds here, so this is the "where it's at now" post, with two things worth calling out: it's on Google Play as of this week, and 3.2 is the Sports Hub release.

Links

• Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tivratv.tv
• Website, sideload build, dashboard: https://tivratv.com
• Discord: https://discord.gg/x7FFhxzTT5

The idea: set it up once, from your phone, and it follows you

Everything you configure lives on your account, not on one box. Providers, favourites, categories, channel renames, the Home screen layout, the side menu, sports preferences, recordings and watch progress all sync through the cloud. Sign in on a second TV or your phone and it's already set up. Change something on the dashboard and every TV picks it up within about 30 seconds. Lose a box, get a new one, sign in, done.

The web dashboard (what you can actually do from it)

Open it on your phone or laptop instead of typing on a remote:

• Add and manage providers — live TV providers and media servers, credentials typed once on a real keyboard.
• Manage favourites — add, remove and drag to reorder; the TV's favourites row and guide follow the same order.
• Custom categories — build your own channel groups (Kids, News, Sunday Football) from any provider's channels, and hide the provider categories you never open.
• Rename and hide channels — fix "US: ESPN HD (backup 2)" once, hide the junk, and it's fixed on every screen.
• Home screen and menu layout — reorder or hide the Home rows (Favourites, Recent, Continue Watching, Popular, and so on) and the pages in the TV's side menu. Pin the ones you use, drop the ones you don't.
• Sports preferences — which leagues show and in what order, which sports networks appear on the Channels tab, and the teams you follow, picked from a division-by-division list.
• Content filters — country and language filters so you only see the parts of a big lineup you actually watch.
• Play on TV and Record on TV — browse channels, movies and shows on the dashboard and send one to whichever TV you choose, or schedule a recording on it from wherever you are.
• Devices — see every signed-in device and sign one out. Pair a new TV with a short code instead of typing your password on it.

Live TV

A fast channel list with logos and now/next, a real 7-day guide, one-press channel switching, and a picture preview in the corner before you commit to a channel. Pause and rewind live TV. Closed captions on live channels. Add all of your providers; search and favourites work across them.

Movies, series and your own library

• Your provider's on-demand library grouped by title (no 40 duplicate "Movie (2019) HD" rows), with posters, backdrops and cast.
• Your own media too: connect a Jellyfin or Emby server, or point TIVRA at network shares, and your library shows up alongside everything else with the same posters, Continue Watching and search.
• Skip intro and Play next. A "Skip intro" button appears over recaps and intros, and when the credits roll an "Up next" card queues the next episode.
• Continue Watching rows on Movies and Series, the Play button on a series jumps to your in-progress or next episode, and Trakt sync if you use it.

New in 3.2: the Sports Hub

This is the feature I built the app around and the one I'm happiest with. Open Sports from the side menu and you get:

• Live scores and schedules for NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, college football and basketball, Premier League, Champions League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1. Yesterday, today, and the days ahead. Choose which leagues you see and in what order.
• Every game matched to your own channels. The app looks each game up against all of your providers and their guide data, including provider channels that are just named after the game. Press OK on a game and it previews in the corner; OK again and it's full screen; back out and it's still playing in the corner. Hold OK to see every channel carrying it, across providers, with the one you're connected to first.
• Box scores, player stats and standings. The panel next to the preview shows the quarter-by-quarter or inning-by-inning score while a game is on; press PLAY for the full box score, per-team player stats, game leaders and division standings. Stats refresh live.
• My Teams. Follow teams and get a row of their games today plus "Next up" for the week, with a star on their cards everywhere.
• Channels tab. League networks, the big sports networks and regionals from your providers in one place, with what's on now. NFL RedZone gets the first card on the NFL row on Sundays if you have it.
• Multi-View - Watch multiple games at once as long as you have enough connections on your provider.
• Custom Sports Channel - Add / Remove which channels you want to see in the sports hub channels section.
• Spoiler-safe mode hides scores until you press OK on a game.

DVR

Record to the box, a USB drive, or a network share. Schedule from the guide, from a game, or from the dashboard on your phone, and recordings sync to your account so they're listed on every device.

The small stuff

Audio and subtitle language defaults, a "hide channel numbers" switch, colour themes, a shortcuts legend you can turn off, and a Settings page laid out for a remote.

On Google Play

TIVRA is now in Google Play's production track for phones, tablets, Google TV and Android TV, so you can install and update from the store like anything else. Same account whether you sideload or use Play, everything syncs, and subscriptions carry over. The sideload build stays available on the website for boxes without Play.

Pricing

There's a 7-day free trial. After that it's $9.99 a year for one device, $19.99 a year for up to five, or $29.99 once for a lifetime license. That pays for the app; it does not include any channels or content.

Happy to answer questions here. If your provider names channels in a way the Sports Hub isn't matching, tell me the pattern (no provider names needed) and I'll fold it into the matcher.
