Beta testers wanted — Niro Player, a new Android TV player (feedback welcome)
I'm building Niro Player — an Android TV app focused on a proper 10-foot / remote-friendly experience: fast channel browsing, fullscreen playback, EPG guide, favorites, search, and a web dashboard to manage devices and sync settings to your TV.
I'm not looking to promote streams or services — this is player software only. You need your own legal content source. Niro does not provide channels or media.
What I'd love help testing
- Live playback on real hardware (zapping, fullscreen, stability over longer sessions)
- EPG guide (scrolling, focus/navigation with the D-pad)
- Movies & series libraries from your own source
- Device pairing (activate TV from the web dashboard)
- Cloud sync (change settings/playlists on the web → sync to the TV)
- General Android TV UX on Google-certified devices: NVIDIA Shield, Chromecast with Google TV, Sony/Google TV TVs, etc.
Devices: Android TV / Google TV only (not Fire TV, not phone).
For early testers
People who join our feedback Discord early will get extended beta access (3 months) as a thank-you for structured bug reports and UX notes. Screenshots or short screen recordings are especially helpful.
