I've been working really hard those past 3 months to deliver what I can consider to be the best android IPTV app; fully open-source, intuitive, bloat-free and ultra-fast. Today, I release Fred TV 2.0 on the playstore!
- Optimized to be the fastest IPTV app out there, with a fully re-written backend made in Rust.
- Full Android TV support, D-Pad support on every view
- New easy-to-use redesigned TV Home for Android TV
- Robust playback, even on shoddy streams and on low-end devices
- Full support for Xtream and M3U
Try it out! You won't regret giving it a shot if you're already using other IPTV apps.
If you had tried the app previously under 1.X.X, please try it again, 2.0 is a massive upgrade.

Can you upload the apk on fdroid as well for easy install Obtanium had a lot of options and gives me option fatigue I don't really like to use it Also I trust fdroid

FYI: F-Droid builds from source themselves. That makes them so trustworthy, but that's also why it's a bit more difficult for the maintainer to get their app accepted.
(not true if "just" using a F-Droid compatible repo).

I love Fred TV! Simple, looks nice, VERY easy to use, installs on every linux distro I've run.

It automatically detects my incorrect URL formatting every time and offers to correct it for me. Saved my bacon when I didn't know what I was doing.

For those who don't know this was formerly Open Tv. Quite literally the best out there.

Will the flatpack in 1.9.1 also be upgraded to 2.0?
Fredol@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 38d
Sorry for the confusion, there are two apps.
The first one is the original one on flathub just for desktop. It has the most features. The second one is a mobile/tv-friendly convergent flutter app that I, from this release, also publish for desktop via Releases for people who want a TV-Friendly UI but on PC.
If I get a lot of good feedback and Fred TV Mobile reaches parity with the original Fred TV, I will publish Fred TV Mobile as Fred TV Next on Flathub for PC
dustyData@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 38d
Just to be clear. The flatpak is free but the mobile one is $3,62?
Not judging, nothing wrong with FOSS getting sources of income to keep the work up. But I'm just trying to make sure I understand the rationale. What does the app exposes on users? because pay usually demands google play's most privacy invasive services.

There is an apk availaible on Github. If you'd like to support me without breaching your privacy, please feel free to donate any amount and grab the apk on the Github Releases. Thank you!

This is fantastic! Loaded on my konstakang android tv box, loaded the m3u playlist below and countless options
Just as a quick test clicked Pluto TV cult films and works fantastic.
Of course, will now need find and favirites will take time, but huuuuge for me as I refuse pay any streaming services
Nice easy GUI, thank you!

Dumb question, but my Samsung TV runs Tizen OS, and not Android. I would need an android streaming device to use your app rather than installing it on my TV somehow, right?
Longylonglong@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 38d
Yes
clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 37d
Thanks!
Fredol@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 36d
You might not need to purchase anything more because I will be working on porting this to Tizen and WebOS
clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 35d
That sounds perfect for me. I'll watch the Repo!

After Android TV support, next comes Android Auto support!

Hey now I wired a switch into my radio so i can make it think I'm parked. Now my SO can watch Bob's burgers while I hammer highway miles to see the in laws 🤘 it's not all about the driver!
