Inoxtv

InoxTV is an IPTV player for Android phones, tablets, Android TV and Fire TV. It carries no channels of its own. You point it at a playlist you already have and it reads the streams, the categories and the guide references out of it: an M3U or M3U8 file or URL, Xtream Codes credentials, or a Stalker Portal address with a MAC. From there the app handles playback, the channel list, search, favourites, the programme guide and recording. Not sure which playlist type you have? Compare the three formats.

Yes. Both builds are free on Google Play, and there is no paid tier that unlocks the player. What the app does not come with is anything to watch. It is a player, so the playlist has to come from you, from whatever service or source you already use. Install it without one and you get an empty channel list and a prompt to add a playlist.

InoxTV supports all three major IPTV playlist formats:

• M3U / M3U8: Import via URL or local file. The most widely used format.
• Xtream Codes: Connect with server URL, username, and password for categorized live TV, VOD, and series.
• Stalker Portal: Connect using portal URL and MAC address with full STB emulation.

Yes, with the same playlist on each. Phones and tablets get the touch build; Android TV and Fire TV get the television build, which is designed around a D-pad rather than scaled up from the phone layout. They are two separate installs and nothing syncs between them on its own, but you do not have to type the details in twice: a backup file restores your playlists and settings onto the second device in one step.

Yes. The guide shows what is on now, what is coming up and what has already aired, and you can open a channel straight from a programme. The listings come from an XMLTV source you attach to the playlist rather than from InoxTV, so a channel the source does not cover shows nothing at all. When that happens the fix is a better source, not a setting in the app: setting up the guide covers the order the pieces have to be in, and no guide data works through an empty one.

On Android TV, yes. Every key carries a short press and a long press, and both are reassignable in Settings → Remote control, which keeps three separate maps: Player, TV guide, and Movies and shows. The shipped defaults are printed key by key on the remote control pages, so you can check what a button already does before you move it. Two actions in that list, Multiview and Picture-in-Picture, are not connected in this build, so a key assigned to either one does nothing.

InoxTV includes a built-in backup and restore feature. Go to Settings → General, where Backup data and Restore data sit together, and write a backup file holding your playlists, favourites, key mappings and settings. Restoring it on another device rebuilds the same setup. What the file contains lists exactly what travels and what does not.

There is a four-digit PIN, and it is a configuration lock rather than a content filter. It closes the settings screen, or just Settings → Playlists and Settings → TV guide if you would rather leave the rest open, so a playlist cannot be swapped, your guide setup cannot be undone and the lock cannot be turned off without it. It does not restrict what plays: the Group options and Channel options entries in that list store your choice but nothing reads them in this build. The PIN is kept as a SHA-256 hash, so there is no recovery route. What the PIN locks spells out both halves.

InoxTV supports 19 languages for the full application interface: English, Hindi, Arabic, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Turkish, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Bulgarian, Greek, Danish, Swedish, Slovak, Ukrainian, and Indonesian. The app follows your device language on first launch and you can override it at any time. Themes and languages lists every option, and notes that guide listings stay in whatever language the source publishes them in.

Fire TV devices don't carry the Google Play Store, so InoxTV is sideloaded instead:

• Install the free Downloader app from the Amazon Appstore.
• Turn on Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options → Apps from Unknown Sources.
• Open Downloader, enter code 2910810, and press Go.
• Choose Install once the APK finishes downloading.

You can also grab the APK directly from the Fire TV section above. The same build works on the Fire TV Stick, Fire TV Cube, and generic Android TV boxes.

The Downloader app code for InoxTV is 2910810. Enter it in the Downloader app on your Fire TV Stick to fetch the official Android TV APK. The code points at our signed release build on GitHub. It is the same file as the direct APK link on this page, with no modifications or bundled extras.
