I built an IPTV player for Android TV with a web dashboard for remote setup — looking for feedback
Hey everyone. I've been building an IPTV player called TIVRA for the past few months and wanted to share it with the community.
The main reason I built it was frustration with typing provider URLs using a TV remote. So the core feature is a web dashboard — you log into tivratv.com from your phone or laptop, add your Xtream Codes or M3U provider, set up favorites, organize categories, and everything syncs to your Android TV in real time. No more pecking at an on-screen keyboard.
What it does:
- Live TV, VOD, and series playback
- Full EPG program guide
- Web dashboard for remote setup (add providers, manage favorites/categories/channels from any browser)
- Cloud sync across devices
- Category management (reorder, hide, move)
- Audio/subtitle track switching
- Resume & continue watching
- Built specifically for Android TV with full D-pad navigation
Playback approach: TIVRA uses direct stream passthrough in native format rather than remuxing or transcoding on the client side. In my own testing on the same provider and same network, I've noticed noticeably less buffering compared to TiviMate. Your mileage may vary depending on your provider and connection, but I'd be curious to hear if others experience the same.
Pricing:
- 7-day free trial (full features)
- Personal: $9.99/year (up to 3 devices)
- Family: $19.99/year (up to 5 devices)
- Lifetime: $29.99 one-time
I'm a small team (2 people) and the app is still early, so I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback. Happy to answer questions.
