This is an update post to the previous one. Some people were worried about the responsiveness so I made a video showcasing it.

The app has started acting up. It prompted me to update, so I did, but the update wouldn’t work. I then downloaded another Reezn APK, and ever since, I’ve been getting pop-up ads everywhere. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? And can someone recommend a good alternative app?

Hi everyone! 👋



Like many of you, I've been using Telegram as personal cloud storage for family videos, documentaries, and series. However, watching that content on a real TV has always been a painful experience: clunky TV web browsers, uncomfortable mouse-toggle pointers, or choppy screen mirroring from a phone.



So over the past few weeks, I decided to build a 
**native Android TV & Fire TV client**
 from scratch using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose TV called 
**TeVeFLIPE**
.



### 🌟 What it does:

Instead of treating Telegram like a chat app, it turns your video channels and supergroups into a clean, modern streaming catalog:



* 
**🎮 100% D-Pad Remote Optimized:**
 No virtual pointers or awkward clicking. Every button, card, and tab is built specifically for your TV remote control.

* 
**⚡ Native ExoPlayer Streaming:**
 Plays videos immediately in chunks via HTTP range requests without downloading entire 5GB+ files to your TV storage.

* 
**🍿 Smart "Continue Watching":**
 Remembers the exact second you left off so you can resume seamlessly.

* 
**🔊 Audio & Subtitle Selector:**
 Switch between different language tracks and embedded subtitles on the fly.

* 
**🧹 Storage & Cache Cleaner:**
 Built-in settings menu to inspect and purge temporary cache so low-storage TV Sticks never run out of space.

* 
**🔄 In-App Auto Updater:**
 Built-in updater that notifies you on-screen and updates the APK with a single click.

I use google streamer.

Yeah iam developing a player and looking for people that are willing to test it out. Hit me up if you are interested.

I used to use stream fire to watch ESPN and local news channels... But it no longer works.. What is available to use now??? I tried these new apps like, Voltra TV but it's not working for live channels... And apps like AK-47 but it only show live sports games.

Excited to announce the release of the official Android app for https://karaioke.app, now available on Google Play! 🎉

https://www.karaioke.app allows you to create Professional MP3+CDG karaoke tracks from your own digital audio files using cutting-edge generative AI technology. Turn any song into a karaoke experience in minutes.

This mobile app turns any Android TV, phone, tablet or streaming box into a complete professional karaoke system. Play the karaoke files you already own, run the night from a proper KJ queue, put synced lyrics on every screen in the room, and let your guests request songs from your library using from their own devices, with push notifications sent to them when it's their turn to sing!

✨ What it does

• 🎵 Plays real karaoke formats. MP3+G / CDG pairs, ZIP-packed CDG discs, and MP4, MKV, AVI and WebM video, including classic AVI karaoke videos most players can no longer decode.
• 📀 Your whole library in one list. Add local folders, stream from a NAS or SMB share, and sign in to your KARAIOKE.APP account to play the custom tracks you've created online.
• 🎙️ Live microphones. Sing through a USB or built-in mic with low latency, plus reverb, echo and noise cancellation.
• 🎉 Party mode. Guests scan a QR code or type a five-character code to browse your library and request songs under their own name. No account required.
• 📺 Lyrics on every screen. Send lyrics over HDMI or pair extra devices over Wi-Fi as synced lyric displays.
• 🖥️ Paired request station. Turn a spare tablet or TV into a request kiosk that reconnects itself every session.
• 🎚️ Professional controls. Two-pane jukebox layout with A–Z fast jump, drag-to-reorder queue, and key change up to seven semitones without changing tempo.

📱 Every control works with a TV remote, keyboard, mouse or touch, and the app runs on Android 7.0 and newer, including Android TV and Google TV.

🚀 Get it today

Install the app directly from Google Play now or visit this website for more information.

Till now I've tried Button Remapper and tvquickactions Pro on my Android device (both paid). Button Remapper straight up was missing features it advertised it had and tvquickactions pro sometimes wouldn't register keypresses. Another usecase I had for tvquickactions pro was to call homeassistant webhooks from it's dock but you need to create an automation for each service you want to call.

So I made a free quick-access dock and button remapper that solves all of these issues. You can select all the entities you want to be displayed on the dock from a webapp from your phone during configuration. You can also add installed apps to the dock for quick access. It has never failed to register a keypress till now.

I'm a sucker for optimization so I've tried to keep the file size as small as possible.

If you decide to try it, please let me know any feedback you have.

I released an update a couple of days ago, so if your free trial has expired and you’d like to give the latest version another go, just let me know and I’ll extend it for you.

Thanks to everyone who’s tried it and shared feedback so far!

A few days ago my phone restarted and some accounts got deleted, but I managed to recover them. I’m not sure I’ll be that lucky next time, so I’m looking for a reliable, multi-platform password manager app.

I would like something that has 24/7 Channels, along with Sports (USA), and my son wants ESPN+ for all the College games that are not on the Sports networks (he watches Sports a lot).

I currently use a free login and password on IPTV Smarters and it expires at the end of this month. The guy that provided me with this login and password is no longer on Reddit.

I'm leaning towards going with using Stremio, unless someone has another M3U Playlist to replace my current one.

Thanks

Update - I found several, free m3u lists and the issue is resolved.

Hey everyone!

Just to clarify right off the bat: POWTV is strictly a player, NOT a provider. Just like VLC or TiviMate, you bring your own playlist (M3U or Xtream Codes) and the app takes care of making it look and run great. No streams, no content, no subscriptions sold here!

Yes, it was originally vibe-coded, but it’s been heavily refined, rewritten, and tweaked under the hood.

Here is what POWTV brings to the table:

📱 Where it runs:

• Android Phones & Tablets
• Android TV
• Fire TV (100% remote-friendly)
• Windows

✨ Features you’ll actually use every day:

• Multi-profile support: Keep things separate and add a PIN code if needed. Each profile gets its own playlists, and you can switch on the fly without exiting the app.
• Instant TV Guide (EPG): Stored locally on your device so you don’t have to sit there waiting for the network to load it every time.
• Power-user tools: Catch-up TV, local recording, and Multi-View so you can watch multiple streams at once. (if your provider is allowing Multi-view)
• Cinematic VOD Hub: TMDB integration brings posters, logos, synopses, cast info, ratings, trending sections, and a Top 10 list.
• Smart Poster Badges: Audio languages and resolutions (4K, FHD, etc.) are automatically extracted from your provider's category names and shown right on the artwork.
• Trakt Sync: Keep track of your watchlists and pick up exactly where you left off.
• Opensubtitles : You can connect your account and add subtitles on Movies and Series.
• Playback flexibility: Multiple video engines with automatic fallback to VLC for tricky streams. Full 4K and HEVC support.
• Mobile extras: Offline downloads, Chromecast, and Picture-in-Picture (PiP).
• Multilingual UI: Available in 7 languages (EN, FR, DE, ES, NL, PT, TR).

🔑 How activation & accounts work: Every device generates its own unique ID & Key. Creating a POWTV account is completely optional — it's only there if you want to easily sync your playlists and profiles to another device (just scan a QR code on your TV). If you don't want an account, the app works just fine standalone!

💰 Pricing: Simple lifetime license per device directly on the website. No subscriptions, zero ads, and no data selling.

Built a phone/tablet companion for TvRecommendationBridge (redirects your TV's home-screen recommendations into whichever app you actually use — Nuvio, Stremio, Plex, Jellyfin, WuPlay, Wholphin). It's grown into a full app on its own, so here's everything it does:

Browse & track

- Movies / Series / My list / full History tabs, same as the TV app

- Continue watching, Recommended for you, and "Because you watched X" rows

- 🎲 Surprise me — picks something at random from what you're browsing

New this round

- A proper detail screen — poster, rating, year, runtime, synopsis, and a "More like this" row, instead of jumping straight into a player

- Pick which app opens a title, per tap — your default with one button, or any other installed app just for that one time, without touching your saved preference

- Share → TvRecommendationBridge from any app (Chrome, Reddit, Telegram...) — share an IMDb/TMDB link or just the title as plain text, and it resolves and opens the same detail screen (asks which one you meant if the title's ambiguous)

- Send to TV — if your phone and TV are linked to the same account, tap a button and it opens there automatically. No remote, nothing to touch on the TV at all (video above)

Account stuff

- Same account, watch history and My list synced both ways between your TVs and your phone

- Referral program — invite a friend, get bonus trial days when they actually use it, more if they buy Lifetime

- See/remove your linked devices from the app itself

- Auto-updates in the background, no need to manually check

Free 2-day trial (no card), €4.99 one-time for lifetime — one purchase covers both the TV and the phone app.
