Hello folks!

Does anybody can recommend some sort of IPTV FOSS app for Android?

Any recommendation is appreciated.

    I’m also interested. Every now and then, I try to find one.

    The last time I think it was Fasto TV Lite from this list:

    But IIRC it just would not go full screen (you need to buy the full version for that I think) and I soon uninstalled it.

    And the last time I tried IPTVnator on Android, it couldn’t handle a large playlist, like IPTV-org.

    ATM I’m using a proprietary app, Televizo, or the website https://tv.garden/ .

    For generic m3us Kodi is the only good FOSS option I have found that works today with the broken stream shit. But it only works on RISC shit, so if you are Android on Intel, you’re fucked.

      Currently, I see 3 IPTV apps on fdroid. IPTV Player, FastoTVLite, and Digilog TV. I remember trying the last 2 a long time ago.

        There is also M3U, which is the best one I could find when I tried some out earlier in the year.

        Your experience may vary, but I’d wager if you put that player on a PlutoTV IPTV stream in the US an ad break would kill your stream at least 10% of the time, making it fairly unwatchable

          Yeah, Pluto’s ad breaks are awful in regards to reliability. It seems like every time an ad cut happens, the stream needs to be restarted. Which then triggers another ad, which has a high likelihood of breaking the stream again.

          I don’t use Pluto streams when I can avoid it.
