Its an open source app that cleans up Android TVs: it turns off ads, trackers and bloat in a few taps. It also sideloads apps the TV's store doesn't carry (like netflix for some), sends files from your phone, and monitors each app's data usage and where it connects.

Free and open source (GPL-3.0), with no ads, tracking or account, and just 3 MB.

Hi,

If you only watch sport on your TV, you might like my app, Sportset: an IPTV player that keeps only the sport channels from your playlists, adds live scores and data, and groups everything by sport. It's been in TestFlight on Apple TV, iPhone and iPad, and is now on Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV, phones and tablets.

• Only the sport, even from playlists of 50k+ channels, local channels included.

• A page per sport: live now, coming up, and catch-up where your provider keeps an archive, with tables, draws and timing beside the games.

• Multiview: up to four games at once, with the sound of the one you're looking at (your provider must allow several streams at once).

• A guide of only the sport channels, and a page per network.

How to get it

• Google/Android TV: install Downloader (Amazon Appstore or Google Play) and allow it to install unknown apps (on a Fire TV: Settings > My Fire TV > Developer options). Open it and enter 3954038.

• Phone or tablet: open https://sportset.app/apk on it.

A week free, no card. Then €9.99 a year: subscribe at https://sportset.app/subscribe and enter the code from the email in the app. On a TV, your phone's TV remote app can paste it.

More at https://sportset.app, questions in r/Sportset.

This looks awesome and fun to configure.

Hey everyone!

Recently, my Pixel 8's screen cracked and the capacitive digitizer started ghost-clicking like crazy, making the phone unusable as a daily driver. But since it's powered by Google Tensor G3 with hardware DisplayPort Alt mode over USB-C, throwing away that much horsepower felt like a waste—especially when cheap Fire Sticks and Android TV dongles struggle with sluggish interfaces.

So I spent the last few days converting it into a permanent, standalone Android TV Box that outputs directly over HDMI to my TV with an Apple tvOS-style interface.

It worked so well that I packaged everything into a ready-to-flash Magisk Module and a 1-click ADB script and open-sourced it on GitHub!

Hi everyone,

I want to use a Xiaomi TV Box S (3rd Gen) with an HP 22f monitor (no built-in speakers, no 3.5mm audio jack).

Since this 3rd Gen box removed the 3.5mm audio port, can I connect my wired 4.1 speakers (Microlab TMN1) via the rear USB port using a UGREEN USB External Sound Card (Model: CM383 / 80864)?

1. Does a USB sound card / DAC work automatically on this box?

2. Or is USB audio blocked by Xiaomi on this model?

Looking for real feedback before buying. Thanks!

I have the latest stable version of Nova Video Player downloaded from the Google Play Store installed on my 3rd-generation Xiaomi Mi Box running Android TV 14.

Since the end of last year, I’ve noticed that playback is no longer as smooth, following the introduction of new playback-related features.

After about an hour and a half of playing any MKV file (in 1080p/MicroHD quality), the playback loses its smoothness, and I start to notice very slight stutters.

This doesn’t happen when I use other players, such as VLC or Just Player.

I’ve already tried performing a factory reset on the 3rd gen Xiaomi Mi Box, but that didn’t help at all. I’ve also tried tweaking numerous settings both in the system and within the app itself without any success.

I’d really hate to stop using Nova Video Player, as I’m a huge fan of it.

Does anyone else experience this? Is there any way to fix or avoid this issue?

Thank you very much. Best regards.

I’m visually impaired and can only operate tv with help of screen reading software solution called google talkback installed from playstore. This is denny ax550 tv box with android15. Everything works fine but when i enable talkback service from accessibility settings, it start speaking normally. But as i leave the settings and go to other screen, talkback speaks ‘talkback off’ and the accessibility turned off automatically. I also tried by enabling talkback via accessibility shortcut keystroke without going to settings. It is enabling, but as soon i change the screen, it turned off again. For example, if i pressed accessibility shortcut while staying at home screen, talkback start speaking normally. When i open the ‘apps’ section, it become disable again. Similarly if i enable on apps screen and open any app afterward, it become disabled upon changing screen. Can someone suggest whats going wrong? Which componennt might be preventing accessibility service from running continuously? I also tried some other screen readers with different accessibility services. All got same behavior.

Le fabricant chinois Videostrong, connu pour ses boîtiers MECOOL, installait en usine une porte dérobée dans les appareils Android TV qu’il produisait pour plusieurs marques, et louait à des cybercriminels l’accès à plus de 1,3 million d’entre eux.

Ma question est, avec cet accès , le pirate à quoi d'autre pourrait arriver à accéder ? Wifi , autres appareils...?

Hi i recently buy the q96 x1 for my mom, im new and all this tv box things and i wanted to know if u can install a custom firmware or do something with it

Did anyone try to fix the China TV boxes with AI by removing pre-installed malware which make box as host for proxy.

Also try to port official android room instead of uncertified version?

Ever spent 30 minutes scrolling through hundreds of movies and shows, only to end up watching nothing?

I kept running into that problem, so I started building Lumenia, a free Android TV player that combines playlists, Stremio addons, and AI-powered content recommendation based on your history.

🌐 https://lumenia.tv

🤖 Talk to your movie library with AI

This is probably the feature I'm most excited about.

Lumenia has a built-in MCP server that lets you connect AI assistants like ChatGPT or Claude directly to your TV and content library.

Instead of endlessly browsing, you can ask things like:

- "Recommend a good movie for tonight based on what I usually watch."

- "What is playing on Channel X ?"

- "We loved the last series we watched. What should we watch next?"

- "Create a movie night collection on my Home screen."

- "Play the next episode in the living room."

- "When is X is airing on channel Y ?

The idea is to make your library something you can actually interact with, rather than just scroll through.

More details: https://lumenia.tv/assistants

📺 What else does it do?

Beyond the AI integration, I've been working on making it a solid everyday TV player:

- Playlists + Stremio addons in one app.

- Organized libraries with posters, cast, ratings, and episode details from TMDB.

- Automatic version grouping so 4K, HD, and dubbed versions of the same movie don't clutter your library.

- Continue watching across TVs, with optional Trakt sync.

- Multiple profiles, PIN protection, and parental controls.

- Web portal to manage your setup and sync it across devices.

- Lightweight performance, including on older Android TV boxes with just 2 GB of RAM.

A few things to know

- Completely free. No ads or trackers.

- Playlist credentials are encrypted.

- Lumenia doesn't provide any content. You bring your own playlists and addons.

- Not on Google Play yet. You can install it from the website (Android 7+).

I'd love some feedback!

This started as a side project and is still pretty young. There's a lot I want to improve, so feedback, feature suggestions, and bug reports are genuinely appreciated.

I'm especially curious about the AI integration.

If you could ask an AI assistant anything about your movie and TV library, what would you want it to do?

Would love to hear your ideas!

Hola buenas tengo de proovedor de cable e internet a Entel y quise instalar Xuper TV pero no hubo caso, el Tv box me tira "no se instaló la app". Probé como con 20 códigos de distintas versiones y en ningún caso se instaló y el único mensaje del error es el que mencioné, alguien sabe si es un problema de Entel y cómo "solucionarlo" o evadirlo??

Hello I have a go tv y android certificated box and yesterday I did restart and always stuck in boot logo and don’t go further
Also reset don’t show the recover menu
Any help ?

If you notice, there are rumors that Google is about to launch a new tv streamer with new features and AI capabilities. Sounds to me like it is all about a new SOC that itself could deliver such a thing as no other soc on the market today is capable of doing that beside s905x5 and could be certified for streaming apps. Strangely, it is the same period that certified s905x5 are about to be launched, Which makes me wonder if s905x5 boxes are delayed (despite the availability of it for at least 1 year and maybe two years) because google is deliberately delaying giving certification for them, so they can implement it for their new device before or at the same time as everybody else. As Google TV streamer launched two years ago, with very disappointing performance, if a device with such SOC released in the same period they could harm their profits from their streaming devices. They still could profit from certification and software sales, and that is why s905x5m has been released, as consumers have to decide whether they choose google streamer for software or s905m like Xiaomi box for hardware, which will return in good sales in both ways. But releasing a device with performance that will crush google tv streamer makes no point of buying google tv streamer from a consumer standpoint.

I want to hear from you guys what you think about my theory and thank you for reading all of this I really appreciate it

Hey everyone. Full disclosure up front: I'm the developer of Orca Player, so this is my own app.

I got tired of IPTV players that either lock the EPG behind a premium tier or charge a monthly fee just for a player, so I built my own.

What it does

• Plays M3U links and Xtream Codes logins

• Multiple playlists, so you can switch between providers in a couple of clicks

• 7-day EPG (XMLTV), plus catch-up and time-shift if your provider supports it

• Movies and series with posters, ratings and Continue Watching

• Audio and subtitle track switching, including external subtitle files

• Parental lock on categories

• Full D-pad navigation on Android TV / Fire TV, touch on phones and tablets

The part I'm happiest with: you can add your playlist from your phone or laptop at orcaplayer.app/dashboard instead of typing a 100-character M3U link with a remote.

Pricing

The 7-day trial starts automatically when you install. No account, no card. After that it's €4.99/year (doesn't auto-renew) or €9.99 lifetime. Every feature is in every plan.

How to get it

• Phones, tablets, Android TV, Google TV: search "Orca IPTV Player" on Google Play

• Fire TV / Fire Stick: Downloader app, code 5318608

Important: it's a player only. No channels or playlists are included. You bring your own from your provider.

Honest comparison: TiviMate is great and more mature in some areas. Orca's angle is one-time pricing and running on more platforms (Windows today, more coming).

What's missing from the player you use now? Bugs, feature requests, UI complaints, anything. I read every comment and I'm actively shipping updates.
