Tried to build an IPTV player that isn't just another one, focused on simplicity and family use

I've spent the last year building MiluTV. I didn't want to ship just another IPTV player into a market that already has plenty. If I was going to spend that much time on it as a solo dev, it had to be different. The angle I picked was simplicity + the whole household, not just power users.

So I focused on 3 things:

1. Make the catalog actually easy to browse

Most IPTV catalogs have hundreds of categories split by language, which creates tons of duplicates and makes browsing pretty painful. That frustration is basically why I built SmartView. The app talks to TMDB and groups versions of the same title under one entry. When you open a title, you pick the language and quality you want before playing.

2. A Kids mode I actually trust

I wanted Kids mode to be something I could actually trust, both the gate and the catalog behind it. So there's a PIN-locked profile by default, and the catalog is filtered against a curated age-rating database I maintain on the backend. A kid profile only sees what matches its age cap, and the filter applies across both movies and series.

3. The same app on every screen in the house

iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, Android, Android TV, Fire TV: same profiles, same cloud-synced progress. So when someone in the household switches devices, they pick up where they left off.

About the AI question, before anyone asks

I've been coding for 25 years. AI helps me move faster, but I designed every feature myself and nothing it produces ships without me reviewing it.

You can try it at https://www.milutv.app

Live TV and EPG work, but I'm not a heavy live user myself. I'd love to hear what matters most to people who actually use Live TV daily: what's missing in other apps, what feels broken. That's where I want to push next.

BYOL: M3U or Xtream Codes, no content shipped with the app.

Looking for IPTV provider - from Italy - no VPN needed

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a solid IPTV provider that offers a good selection of Italian live channels.

My main focus is on sports, but I’d also like entertainment, movies, and documentaries if available. The service needs to work well from Italy without a VPN and be stable during live events.

If possible, I’d prefer providers that offer a trial (even just 24 hours) so I can test the quality and stability first.

Any recommendations or experiences would be really appreciated. Feel free to comment or send me a DM.

Thanks in advance!

zabb IPTV Player - open beta for a cross-platform IPTV player (Android TV + Windows) FREE

*mods please let me know if this goes against rules*

Hey — I've been building an IPTV player called zabb and it's finally in a state I'd call good enough to share. Opening it up as a public beta. Premium features are free for everyone during the beta, no card needed.

What it is

You bring your own playlist (M3U, Xtream, or Stalker) — zabb doesn't host, resell, or distribute any content. It's just the player + sync layer on top.

What works today

  • Android TV and Windows builds
  • Live TV, VOD, series
  • EPG (basic + advanced views)
  • Recordings + timeshift
  • Cloud sync across devices (favorites, watch history, playlists)
  • Web dashboard for managing your account, devices, and playlists

Android TV will be next with highest priority.

Then iOS / iPadOS.

Family sharing (the bit I'm most proud of)

If you've ever shared an IPTV setup with a partner, your kids, or a friend, you know the usual pain — everyone fights over the same favorites list and watch history, or you end up sharing your login. zabb does it properly:

  • Up to 5 profiles, up to 5 devices on one plan
  • Each profile has its own favorites, watch history, and paired devices — totally separate
  • You send a short invite code, they enter it in the app, and they get a managed profile under your plan
  • Revoke any invite at any time, no password resets, no awkwardness

It's basically "Netflix profiles" but for your own playlist.

How to try it

Downloads (APK + Windows installer): https://www.zabb.app/download

  1. Install
  2. Create a free account
  3. Paste your playlist URL
  4. To unlock all premium features for free during the beta: dashboard → Settings → Plan → redeem coupon code

Coupon code can be found on the site.

What I'm looking for

Bug reports, weird playlists that don't parse, devices it crashes on, missing features that would block you from switching. Reply here or open an issue via Discord.

Cheers.

Iptv vpn

I’m currently running Jellyfin on my home server for regular movies and TV shows, and I’m considering adding IPTV. I’m trying to figure out the cleanest way to route IPTV traffic through a VPN without messing up normal Jellyfin traffic.

Would it be better to add IPTV directly into Jellyfin and put Jellyfin behind a VPN, or would that cause problems with local/remote Jellyfin streaming, metadata, and incoming/outgoing connections?

My thought is that it may be better to run IPTV through a separate container or app, put only that container behind a VPN, and leave Jellyfin normal. Then Jellyfin could either pull from that local proxy, or I could use a completely separate IPTV player.

For people who have done this, what’s the recommended setup? Should IPTV be handled through Jellyfin directly, through an IPTV proxy container, or through a separate player/app with only that traffic routed over VPN?

How to deal with services that go down constantly?

So my IPTV provider goes down pretty much weekly, results in me having to reach out to the reseller to get a new url which then takes 2-3 days for them to get back to me. During which time I’ve completely missed out on any live events I had planned to watch. I know most of you will say to just get a reseller that has their own domain but how does a person even find a reseller who offers this? It gets a little tiring doing the cat and mouse game where you buy a month, test it out, realize it fails eventually and move onto the next one. I’ve been through about 6 different resellers so far and without fail they all stop working and I need to reach out for an updated URL.

Anyone recognise this provider?

Hey y'all,

Does anyone recognise this provider? Was told it's Strong8K but some said it's not. Lost contact with provider and would like it again as it's been decent for a backup server.

IPTV with the least delay?

Any1 bothered testing every single provider and their delays? Tested so far Trex, Strong, Ultra, Dream, B1G, Sansat and pretty much delay is same for US, UK and Canadian sports channels. Some are 20 seconds behind others and some are not, but mostly they are like 40-120 seconds behind live tv and would like to get to that 15-30 second mark.

If anyone has tips for better ones, would greatly appreciate it and if robots would stay away for now :)

Your OTT Speed BOOST. Rocket Proxy for OTT

After countless posts across this and other subreddits, I've come up with a solution that fixes ISP Blocking, Unstable streams, URL Stability and overall ott enjoyment. Of course like any service if theirs an issue on the source i am unable to fix that..

**For more info: https://rocketproxy.net **

How it works?

I tunnel the ott service through my 10Gbps servers and its wrapped in HTTPS TLSv1.2/1.3 encryption, similar to a VPN. BUT with less latency and less overhead. the worse thing you can do is have the whole device encrypted due to overhead and streaming devices use old A55 ARM cores. My server's use Tier-1 routing which provides a direct shot to major peering providers and data centers. Creates a local host experience. There is no bandwidth lose that you'd get with a VPN.. if you have 400Mbps you'll still have 400Mbps because only your OTT is tunneled and encrypted.

How do i use it?

There is ZERO setup. All you do is change your provider's server URL to the one we provide. It is dedicated to you and only you and direct to the source backend.

Due to Reddit, i cannot post the source providers but ill post my site or you can ask me privately on which sources i provide proxies for.

I offer Trials for 24 hours for the haters and non believers thinking that this doesnt actually work. unfortunately if you think that then you have ZERO knowledge in server hosting, peering, latency, encryption, servers, dns etc😊

**NOTE**: This is NOT an OTT Service. This service protects and improves your CURRENT service.

Can using an IPTV for just Moroccan/Arab channels cause issues with ISPs?

Hello everyone, I would like to raise an important topic regarding maintaining my identity and culture while living abroad.

​I am a Moroccan living in Portugal, and a father to children. IPTV has been one of the solutions that helped me overcome the problem of passing on our language and traditions to my children in a new environment.

​Does everyone face this issue, and how do you deal with this challenge?

​What concerns me most is the search for alternative and sustainable solutions. Is there anyone who has found a legal way to enjoy these programs without problems? I would be grateful to share your experiences and proposed solutions.

​Finally, I found a provider that supplied me with a package containing only selected Moroccan and Arab channels. Is this a problem for internet providers in the country I live in?

Question Wave IPTV

Does anyone use the Wave IPTV app? I use the free version, it works well, but I'm thinking about buying the Premium version; I saw that it has some very interesting features. Even though it was removed from the Play Store, I thought it would just be another discontinued app. But it seems the developer is still working on it; I saw that he released a license manager on GitHub, Waveo Companion, but will he keep the app updated regularly? I think the app itself is very well designed.

Client side issue or source?

Java.io.IOException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException:java.net.SocketException: Connection reset
I’m getting this error but only on all US FOX channels. The support guy for the service I use says use a VPN which I always use a VPN. So is this a server side / source issue or no?
