Your own IPTV player for Android TV 
 Fast · modern · remote-first — bring your own M3U, Xtream or Stalker (MAC) sources 
---
OwnTV is a native **Android TV** IPTV **player**, built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose for TV. It
runs **two playback engines** — libmpv (FFmpeg) for the widest compatibility, ExoPlayer (Media3) for
near-instant Live TV — and it is a *player only*: you bring your own **Xtream** login, **M3U**
playlist (URL or a local file) or **Stalker/Ministra** portal.
> ⚠️ OwnTV ships **no** channels, playlists, subscriptions or streams. You are responsible for the
> sources you add.
Open source, GPLv3, original code, built with the help of AI. **Android TV only** — leanback
launcher, D-pad first.
