Hey everyone 👋
I’ve been using IPTV on my Android TV for years, but honestly most of the apps are either paid or just not great — and even the paid ones are pretty rough. So I decided to build my own, with a lot of help from AI, and it came out way better than I expected.
It’s called OwnTV — a fast, native Android TV IPTV player. It doesn’t come with any channels; you just add your own M3U or Xtream playlist. A few things it does:
Multiple profiles — each with their own favorites, history & resume, plus an optional PIN lock and a kids mode
Multiple playlists/sources — add several M3U or Xtream accounts and share them across profiles
Live TV, Movies & Series with a full EPG guide (time × channel grid)
Offline downloads for movies & episodes
Backup & Restore — move your profiles & playlists to another device in one file
Powered by libmpv (FFmpeg) — plays basically anything, with proper subtitle & audio track support
Native Android TV (Jetpack Compose, full D-pad navigation), clean Material 3 UI, stays fast even with huge playlists (50k+ channels)
It’s 100% open source and free, always — no ads, no subscriptions, nothing behind a paywall.
Tested on a real TCL Google TV and the Android Studio emulator (Android TV & Google TV), so it should run well on most setups. If you’ve got an Android TV and your own playlist, give it a try — bug reports, ideas, and contributions are all super welcome 🙏
