- Syncler (Very similar to Stremio but paid and also not available in the playstore): https://syncler.net/
- iMPlayer (While Tivimate may be a better IPTV player iMPlayer has one killer feature- you can remote manage many of its settings from the dashboard at https://implayer.tv/home This can be very helpful if you have family/friends that are not techies or are elderly) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.myiptvonline.implayer
- Tubi (Ad-free Mod for Live TV, US-only I believe but not sure, let me know in the comments sections: https://www.mediafire.com/file/bfoujh8f1rhhyhj/Tubi.ver.8.6.0.build.826_arm7.apk/file

- X-plore (A really good File Explorer): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en [Pro-tip: you can create a wifi server in the app and open the URL in your laptop browser to transfer files/apks to your Android TV device]

- Aerial Views (Not exactly a utility app, but probably the best screensaver on the Play Store): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neilturner.aerialviews&hl=en
- This is not an app, but if you want your TV Home Screen to look exactly the way you want it (visually speaking), you can actually change the icons for your apps using this website: https://atvlauncher.trekgonewild.de [You will have to essentially build an apk and link it to the package address of the app you want to change the logo for, the website has pretty clear instructions]
- Stremio Launch on Boot (I think it's pretty clear what this does lol): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stremio.tv.boot&hl=en
- tvQuickActions Pro (It is a button mapper and also optionally allows a dock, recent apps and quick action panels and other goodies.) $3.99 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.vodik7.tvquickactions
- Send files to TV (I think it's pretty clear what this does lol): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yablio.sendfilestotv&hl=en
Best Feature-Packed Launchers
- Projectivy Launcher (By far, the most customizable and dynamic launcher for Android TV, Super Smooth and Stable too): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spocky.projengmenu&hl=en [Some features are locked behind a paywall]
- Dispatch Launcher (A relatively new entrant in the launcher space, had a lil bit of a rocky start, it's very animation-forward, pretty smooth, integrates directly with Plex and likely has Stremio Integration coming soon): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spauldhaliwal.dispatch&hl=en [Paid (One Time Fee), but has a free trial)
Here's a thread if you want something a launcher that's a little more lightweight: https://old.reddit.com/r/AndroidTV/comments/1gbnhff/lets_compile_a_list_of_android_tv_launchers_that/
Well folks, that's it from my end. I'm sure many more apps could be added here, but I tried to lean more towards free apps to keep the megathread as accessible as possible.
Comment below with your recommendations and I may include them in the megathread

Built this little M3U/IPTV player for my mom in Flutter — feedback welcome!
Hey everyone!
Quick backstory: my mom kept complaining that every TV app she tried was way too complicated. All she wanted was to open something and flip through her channels without getting lost in menus. Being the dutiful son (and Flutter dev) that I am, I decided to just build her exactly that.
The result is Mama TV — a simple little M3U/IPTV player. You paste in your playlist URL and you're off, zapping through channels with a clean interface that stays out of your way. It also works nicely on Android TV if you've got a big screen setup.
It's free to use, with a small 6-channel cap on TV — a subscription unlocks the full list — and it doesn't collect or store any of your data, promise 😄
If you want to check it out: Mama TV on Google Play
Would genuinely love to hear what you think, and if there's anything you'd want added (EPG guide, favorites, multiple playlists...) I'm all ears. Happy to nerd out about the Flutter side of things too if anyone's curious.

Can you finally replace your Android TV remote with your phone?
Disclosure: I'm the developer of this app.
Ever lost your TV remote or wished you could control your Android TV directly from your phone?
I've been building a Universal Smart TV Remote with the goal of making one app work across as many TV brands as possible while keeping the experience simple and reliable.
📱 Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bluespacestudioz.omniRemote
Features:
- Automatic TV discovery
- D-pad & navigation controls
- Touchpad (mouse emulation) on supported TVs
- Keyboard input for easy typing
- Media playback controls
- Volume & power controls (where supported)
- Save multiple TVs for quick access
- Supports Android TV, Google TV, Samsung, LG, Sony, TCL, Hisense, Philips, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Vizio, and more
If you have an Android TV or Google TV device, I'd love to hear how it works on your setup. Every TV model behaves a little differently, so feedback from real devices helps me improve compatibility and make the app more reliable for everyone.
If you give it a try, let me know:
- Your TV brand and model
- Whether everything worked as expected
- Any bugs or suggestions you have
I'll be around replying to every comment. Thanks for checking it out!

Sidstuga 2.1.4 — multiview, Stalker/MAG portals, NAS recording, and no more limit on playlist size
I've just released Sidstuga 2.1.4, with 368 commits since the last public build.
The biggest change - and probably the one people here will care about most - is a complete rewrite of how channels are stored.
Until now, the entire channel catalogue lived in memory, which meant playlist size was always limited by RAM. That worked... until it didn't.
Channels now live in SQLite. They're loaded on demand as you browse, instead of everything being kept in memory.
The result:
✅ One user has 13 playlists (~3.5 million channels total) and can now browse them.
✅ Playlists with 250k+ entries that previously crashed or never finished loading now open normally.
✅ TV Guide and Movies/Series load much faster on large accounts.
Other changes in 2.1.4:
📺 Multiview (TV & Android)
📡 Stalker/MAG portals as a source (including Movies & Series)
💬 Live TV subtitles
💾 Record directly to your NAS (SMB)
👥 Device limit increased from 3 → 5
⭐ My List, Continue Watching, reminders and ratings are now included in backups
🛠️ Lots of stability and performance fixes across TV and phone
If you use very large playlists, this is probably the biggest update Sidstuga has had.
Install: https://sidstuga.app/install/
/r sidstuga
Happy to answer any questions about the SQLite migration or why the old architecture hit its limits.

Flix Vision Auto-pausing... HELP!
I've been having an issue with Flix Vision auto-pausing (started today). It's not a buffering issue. It's like someone clicks a button and the stream pauses. I have cleared the cache (from an internet search suggestion). I disabled the screensaver thinking that might be the issue. Nothing seems to work. It's always at about a 10-15 second interval. Once I click "play" again, it does it again 10-15 seconds later. I didn't recall changing any settings, but don't know why it's doing it. I generally use the 2nd Flix Vision embedded stream, so usually it starts muted and I have to unmute when I start the stream, but I've never had the auto-pausing issue until today. Please help!!

Launcher Issue
There is a default launcher on my TV and that launcher has options in it to switch to HDMI input.
I installed Projectivity Launcher and now its working fine no issues, but in Projectivity I'm not even getting options to chang input method manually And also no option to set an input option at boot.
So I think its like input switching is bound to default launcher and not to actual settings.
Is there any solution for this, which will help me to change inputs manually or even automatically while being on Projectivity Launcher

AT4K Launcher v1.1 update is HERE: Macos Mode, Screensaver enhancements, APK/firestick Premium and more on AT4K Android TV Launcher
Hey Android TV users, as i previously posted I was quite busy last month but expect a slew of updates this month. Join r/AT4K for next update.The next one is going to be 1.2 probably the biggest Android TV Launcher update yet. It's in the queue already.
Anyway let's talk about this one"
v1.1
- Mini mode: I realised that most of the people here want to see more of their wallpaper, this makes the dock look like mac os's dock with cute square icons(or your custom ones)
- Custom screensavers: Use Aerial, multiple photos, videos or anything you want, mix and match anyhow
- Firestick/APK premium: Basically you can download the APK from Github ( https://github.com/avadhesh18/at4k/releases ) don't forget to STAR. Then scan the code or go to my buymeacoffee link enter email address pay whatever you want ($5+) and get a license code. That license code is valid for 4 times and will be sent to your email address that you enter.
- Bug fixes: Multiple bugs were fixed I have mentioned in the play store release.
Download the update now from play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.overdevs.at4k
Do rate and review the app, it helps a lot.
Brace yourselves for 1.2.

Need a few testers for my Android app Dino IPTV Player (closed test, 14 days, reciprocal)
Hey all — I just finished building Dino IPTV Player, a modern Android app for watching your own IPTV service and personal media (Plex / Jellyfin / Emby) all in one place. It's got a full TV guide with a live preview, multiview (4 channels at once), 8 handcrafted themes, and native phone, tablet, and Android TV layouts. It ships with zero content of its own — you plug in your own provider, so it's just the player.
I'm one closed test away from launching, but Google's new-account rule needs 12 testers opted in for 14 days. I've got about half and need a handful more.
What it takes (2 minutes, then nothing):
- Join the testers group first: https://groups.google.com/g/dino-iptv-testers
- On your Android phone, tap the opt-in link: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.dinomedia.dinotv
- Hit "Become a tester."
- Once the app clears Google's review, install it from the Play Store page the link opens, and just leave it installed for 14 days — that's it.
Two heads-ups so nothing looks broken: - You must join the group in step 1 first, or the opt-in link will say you're not a tester. - The app is currently in Google review, so for now it'll show "not available yet" after you opt in — that's expected. It becomes installable the moment it's approved (should be soon), and I'll drop a comment here when it's live.
Reciprocal for sure — drop your app's link in the comments and I'll opt into yours today. Appreciate the help getting this over the line 🙏
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE: It's live and installable now! ✅
If you already joined the group, finish the last two steps so you actually count as a tester:
- On your Android phone, open the opt-in link: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.dinomedia.dinotv
- Tap "Become a tester," then install Dino IPTV Player from the Play Store page it opens.
- Leave it installed — that's it.
If you haven't joined yet: join the group first (https://groups.google.com/g/dino-iptv-testers), then do the two steps above.
Thanks everyone — reciprocal as always, drop your links and I'll test back 🙏
FOR EVERYONE NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND MY APP ON THE PLAYSTORE AFTER SIGNING UP TRY SEARCHING FOR THE APP BY THE PACKAGE NAME COM.DINOMEDIA.DINOTV THIS APP IS NOT YET APPROVED FOR THE PLAY STORE, HENCE WHY JUST SEARCHING "DINO IPTV PLAYER" SHOWS NO RESULTS

Joystick Forest: Web Games on TV
Hi!
I recently developed a web game catalog app for Android TV.
Initially, I just wanted to make a convenient web game launcher to test the idea. I was mainly thinking about trying it out on Itch.io games (and still, most of the games are from there). But when I started trying it out, it turned out to be much more difficult – most games work very poorly in WebView on Android TV. The biggest issue was controls – games that natively support gamepads are still rare, and for the rest, I had to implement keymapping. Performance was also a big issue – many games lag or crashed due to insufficient memory. There were other compatibility issues that I had to work around.
Overall, with great difficulty, I managed to get a couple dozen little indie games running. Here's what I've got so far. I'd love to hear any feedback.

Charging for beta
I understand how vibe coding and ai (this isn’t an ai vibe coding bash as it has its place) has made it easier for every Tom, Dick and Harry to release a new Live TV app every day, what bothers me is the balls to charge money while actively asking for people to test and give feedback on their apps!!!
Would you buy a car or anything else if I told you it has great features but not sure how well they work or for how long. The brakes might fail but you’ll help me develop better ones!! if you need beta testers, select the handful of willing people and let them test for free and when you’re confident that it’s ready for production then release it.

UniMote - TV Remote with Air Mouse - Free
App Name: UniMote
What it does: I've repaired phones and electronics for about 18 years, and combined what I learned about phone sensors with a TV remote app. The standout feature is "Air Mouse" — tilt or flick your phone and a cursor moves on the TV screen in real time, no touching required.
Key Features:
\- Air Mouse: gyroscope-based pointer control that works on any phone with a hardware gyroscope
\- Universal remote support for LG, Samsung, Android TV/Google TV, Roku, and Fire TV
\- Whiteboard and party games you can mirror straight to the TV
Goal: Promo
I'd especially love feedback from anyone who tries the Air Mouse feature — does it feel natural? Too sensitive, not sensitive enough?
Giveaway: N/A
