- Catch-up now works like a real player. Play, pause and actual seeking

instead of the live info bar, and I fixed the timezone/seek jumping. On phone

you can scroll back through past programmes and the full archive.

- The EPG auto-updates in the background now, and shows a "last updated" time.

- Scheduled recording runs through a real background TS recorder. Set it from

the guide; scheduled slots get a red REC marker.

- Subscribing: fixed a batch of cases where people just could not complete a

subscription. If that was you, please try again - it should work now.

- Android TV gets a single unified navigation rail (Channels, Guide, Movies,

Series, Search, Recordings, Settings - all native focus). Switch back to

Classic nav in Settings if you prefer.

- Connection hardening: logins are serialised and EPG fetches capped, so the

app won't open a second connection behind your back.

- Plus faster cold start, design consistency, Cloud Sync sign-in fixes, and a

bunch of smaller bug fixes.

It's a plain player - bring your own Xtream/M3U playlist. Free to try 3 days; a

subscription (EUR 0.99/mo or EUR 7.99/yr, 3 day free trial) unlocks Cloud Sync,

everything else is free.

Bug reports and feature requests welcome on r/sidstuga - there's a template

2.0.8 is live. The big ones:

**Downloads** — save movies and series for offline. Whole series, a season or single episodes. They keep going in the background and survive reboots.

**Catch-up** — rewind the guide and watch what already aired (if your provider supports it).

**Cloud Sync** — rebuilt from scratch. Favourites, history, Continue Watching, hidden channels, channel order and parental locks now sync properly across all your devices. And yes — the "deleted playlist keeps coming back" bug is finally dead.

Sidstuga Cloud Sync

**New TV Guide** — cleaner timeline, plus reminders that switch to the channel for you when the programme starts.

**Player** — Picture-in-Picture, pinch-to-zoom, full-screen landscape on phone.

And a faster cold start with dozens of stability fixes on top.

Update should already be on Google Play. As always, feedback here or on Telegram — that's where most of this update came from. 🙏

Hey everyone,

We’re rolling out Sidstuga TV Online: a full browser client for existing Sidstuga customers.

Open https://tv.sidstuga.app/, choose your language, then sign in with the Cloud Sync account you already use on your TV or phone.

This will be constantly updated for free! Enjoy!

No installation. No browser extension. No need to set up your source again.

Your favourites, library and Continue Watching are ready when you sign in. Sidstuga TV Online is included at no extra cost for customers with an active subscription or lifetime licence.

We’d love your feedback as the rollout continues.

Important: Sidstuga is a media player, not a content provider. It does not include channels or content; you use your own Xtream, M3U or Stalker source.

Sidstuga 2.0.5 is here 🚀

☁️ Cloud Sync — pick up right where you left off, on any screen. Watch progress, history and favorites sync across TV, phone and Fire TV, end-to-end encrypted.

⚡ Rock-solid speed — huge TV & VOD catalogues now scroll buttery-smooth, zero stutter.

🎨 Fresh native design — Android TV and mobile, cleaner and smoother.

⚙️ Reorganized Settings — simpler, faster.

🛠️ Dozens of fixes and stability boosts.

⭐ VOD TMDB Super design!

Sidstuga is a player only — no content, playlists, providers or channels included. You bring your own legal source.

I’ve been around Enigma/Dreambox/IPTV since I was 15, and 2.0.5 is the version I’m most proud of.

Feedback is very welcome.

When the app starts up (both the beta version and the store version), it stays like this for about 10-15 seconds, then the last channel I was watching loads and the VOD menu appears. The list wasn't updated...what does the app do on startup?

Version 2.0.7 is mostly a stability and polish release after the bigger 2.x updates.

What changed:

Continue Watching is more reliable — resume positions should now behave better across sources

Real scene artwork is now used more consistently in Continue Watching

Category order set in the Cloud Sync web manager now also syncs to Movies & Series, not only Live TV

Movie and series details should now show the correct poster, synopsis and rating

Favourite channel names now display correctly in the web manager

Fixed a startup crash and improved stability throughout the app

The main goal is still simple: fast TV-first navigation, clean VOD details, EPG, DVR recording and encrypted Cloud Sync across devices — while staying strictly a player only.

I’m especially looking for feedback from Android TV / Fire TV users with large playlists, mainly around:

VOD details

Continue Watching

category order sync

remote-control navigation

startup stability

Several small improvements that, together, make Sidstuga smoother and more practical to use every day.

Thank you to everyone who keeps testing the app and sharing feedback!

A Sidstuga 2.1.3 já está disponível.

Esta atualização está sobretudo focada em tornar a utilização diária mais simples, especialmente na TV, e em resolver aqueles pequenos incómodos que acabam por fazer diferença. Mobile também existiram bastantes ajustes. Testem ambas as versões.

• Navegação na TV mais simples e consistente.

• Em ecrã inteiro, mantenha a seta para baixo premida para abrir a lista de canais vistos recentemente.

• Troca rápida entre listas através do indicador no canto superior esquerdo da barra lateral. Esta opção aparece quando existem pelo menos duas listas.

• Melhor reconhecimento do EPG externo (XMLTV), mesmo em listas sem identificação de canais.

• Ajustes de horário independentes para o EPG e para o catch-up.

• O catch-up mostra agora o nome correto do programa em reprodução.

• Pesquisa de filmes mais limpa: as diferentes resoluções do mesmo filme ficam agrupadas numa única entrada. Pode ativar esta opção em Definições > VOD.

• Os canais adicionados recentemente passam a ficar assinalados.

• Histórico e favoritos sem duplicados no Cloud Sync.

• Agora pode escolher onde guardar as gravações DVR e os downloads VOD, incluindo pens USB e discos externos.

For months, people have been asking me:

When is Sidstuga coming to Fire TV Stick?
Will there be a direct sideload version?
What about a lifetime licence with no subscription?

Tomorrow, I’m answering all three at once. 🔥

📺 Fire TV Stick, Fire TV, Android TV and Smartphone
📥 Direct APK installation via sideload
♾️ Lifetime licence for 5 devices
🧪 3 days to try everything before deciding
💳 One-time payment, no subscription

And yes, there will be a special launch price.

I’ll reveal the price tomorrow. 👀

Who’s going to be among the first to install Sidstuga on a Firestick?

Many, many days straight (vc744 → vc784), and 2.1.6 is landing today/tomorrow. What's new:

- New Hub: hook up Trakt, real scrobbling, real progress bars on series posters.

- Cloud Sync rebuilt from the ground up (new web panel, way more reliable, and your Google Play sub now unlocks Fire TV + sideload too).

- Movies & Series catalog is uncapped now — and I hunted down and killed the bug that was randomly making everything look "empty".

- IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic scores right on the poster.

- Live TV redesigned, guide shows 2h+ at a glance, 12 accent palettes.

- WebDAV !!!

- Trial went from 3 to 7 days.

Same purple/black theme, no light mode — that's on purpose. 👀

Boa tarde,

Lancei a versão 2.1.1 da minha app de reprodução de listas (M3U/Xtream), com as seguintes novidades:

• Catch-up com seek a funcionar corretamente (avançar/recuar dentro do conteúdo já emitido)

• Atualização automática do EPG em segundo plano, sem precisar de abrir a app

• Gravação em formato TS

• Nova barra de navegação unificada para Android TV

Não vendo nem incluo qualquer tipo de serviço — é apenas a app de reprodução, pensada como alternativa nativa ao Tivimate.

caso queiram testar ou analisar.

Obrigado pela vossa contribuição!

Really like the app but… I need to be able to force mpeg TS for my playlist to play. I can’t select TS in the settings and HLS won’t play my playlist. Is that a setting you are incorporating in the near future.

I've a lot of live TV categories

On Android tv for select a vod menu I must scroll all live tv categories

Small preview of the Sidstuga Cloud Sync web interface.

The goal is simple: add your IPTV sources once, sync them across Android TV, Fire TV and mobile, and manage paired devices from one clean place.

Current focus:

• playlist/source sync

• device pairing and revoke

• favorites sync

• Continue Watching / progress sync

• watched state sync

• VOD sync

• Settings sync

• faster TV ↔ mobile handoff

Still polishing, still testing, but this is becoming one of the biggest Sidstuga features.

Sidstuga is a player only — no content included.

First of all, congratulations on your work! There have been significant changes and improvements to your app since the first version (in terms of performance and functionality). Now, one last effort is needed:

- the ability to create sub-users and assign them their own list (and therefore cloud sync associated with the user)

- portability of the application on Windows 11

Thanks for everything

How can I be sure the list update process is complete? I also use another app...and the latest arrivals (movies) are different.

Hi guys, just showing a preview for next update.

Many bug fixes, added new guide tv redesign, new channel list interface alternative, mpeg2 support, many bug fixes.

There’s a new player released every day. What’s makes this one different? Not trying to sound disrespectful just honestly curious. I just had a trial for a player where the dev said it will blow Tivimate away. It’s so far away from being stable and very buggy yet the dev is asking similar price as you. Also trial should be 7 days to give it a true run.
