Hey everyone 👋

I'm an independent developer, and over the past few months I've been working on M3ufy Player, a media player built specifically around the Android TV / Google TV experience.

The idea started pretty simply: I wanted a player that felt like it was actually designed for a TV and remote control, rather than an app designed for a phone and adapted to a large screen.

I've spent a lot of time working on the small things that make a difference when you're sitting on the couch with a remote — navigation, focus behavior, loading times, browsing, playback, subtitles, and keeping the interface clean even with large content libraries.

What M3ufy currently supports

The part I'm most interested in getting feedback on

I'm not looking for people to simply say "looks good."

I'd actually like to know what doesn't work.

For example:

• Is the navigation intuitive with a normal TV remote?
• Are there places where you have to press Back more than you should?
• Does the interface feel too busy?
• Is anything slower than you'd expect?
• What features do you find yourself missing?
• What do you dislike about the Android TV players you're currently using?
• If you've tried several players, what is the one thing you wish they all did better?

I'm particularly interested in testing on different hardware because things can behave very differently between devices.

Shield TV, Chromecast/Google TV, Sony, TCL, Hisense, onn., Fire TV, etc. are all useful for finding real-world issues.

One important clarification

M3ufy is a media player only.

It does not provide, sell, or distribute channels, subscriptions, movies, TV shows, or other media content.

Users connect their own content sources.

I'm building the software and the viewing experience — not providing the content.

Early access

I'm currently opening M3ufy to early users while I continue improving it.

As part of the launch, I'm offering one year free to the first 1,000 activated devices.

There is no requirement to purchase an IPTV subscription from me — M3ufy is simply the player.

I'd really appreciate feedback from anyone here who actually uses Android TV regularly.

Even if you install it and tell me:

that's useful to me. 😄

I'm the developer behind it, so I'll be reading the comments and using the feedback to decide what gets improved next.

Thanks! 🙏
