TV Viewer is a free, open-source IPTV streaming app built around community-maintained playlists and privacy-first design.Features:
• Live TV and radio channels from community-maintained sources
• Community Statistics page with anonymous aggregated usage insights
• Timezone-based country detection (no GPS or IP lookup needed)
• Background audio playback for radio streams
• Multi-source failover when one stream stops working
• Search, favorites, source selector, and watch history
• Picture-in-Picture (PiP) support where available
• No account required and no ads
• Optional usage and playback analytics (opt-in only)
• Optional community sharing is off by default; when enabled, health reports
use URL hashes and new playlist channels may be shared with their stream URLs
• Self-hosted web/Docker edition also available
• Regular updates with new channels and fixes from the community
Privacy:
• No account or contact details collected
• No account or login required
• Analytics are off by default; optional playback events include channel names
and URL hashes that can be matched to known streams
• Channel health reports and automatic playlist contributions are off by default
and can be enabled in Settings; URL hashes may be matched to known stream URLs
• Country detection uses device timezone only
• All source code is open and auditable
This app does not host or provide any streams. It aggregates publicly available M3U playlists maintained by the open-source community (iptv-org and others). Channel availability depends on the source providers.
Network services:
• Channel playlists are fetched from community and third-party hosts
• FMStream.org is queried for public radio-station listings
• Supabase provides the shared channel database, aggregated community statistics, optional analytics, and URL-hashed channel-health exchange
• Analytics and channel health/playlist contributions require separate opt-ins
Permissions:
• Internet: Required to stream content
• Wake Lock: Keeps playback active when needed
• Foreground Service: Background audio playback notification
WhatsNew:
Improved optional crash diagnostics with a sanitized stack frame.
Fixed missing channel-failure reports and incomplete performance statistics.
Anti-Features: NonFreeNet(this application promotes/depends a non-Free network service):
⇒ Uses community playlist hosts and FMStream, and connects to the shared Supabase channel catalog and statistics service. These network services are not self-hostable from the app.Tracking(the application tracks and reports your activity to somewhere – usually either without your consent, or by default (i.e. you’d have to actively disable it)):
⇒ Optional usage analytics include channel names, stream URL hashes and errors, and are sent to Supabase only after explicit opt-in. Channel-health reports and automatic contributions of newly found playlist channels are separately opt-in and disabled by default. Health reports include hashes that can be matched to known stream URLs.
While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device.
