A player that does the player's job and stays out of the way.
Bring your own playlist

Frequently asked questions
Where do I get GX IPTV Player Pro and how do I find the Google Play Store on Google TV?
Get it from Google Play. On Android TV, open the Google Play Store banner on the home screen. On Google TV there is no store tile: press and hold the voice input button on the remote, say "open Google Play Store", then search the full name "GX IPTV Player Pro" and open the app by Cloud Curry Studio.
Does GX IPTV Player Pro include channels?
No. It is only a player. It contains no channels or playlists, and you must bring your own legal sources. If a TV box arrives with channels pre-loaded, that is not authorised by us and is the responsibility of the seller.
How do I add an M3U playlist on Android TV or Google TV?
Open Settings in the app, choose Import M3U/XMLTV Playlist/EPG, then Import from Internet URL and paste the link. You can also import a local file or send the link from your phone.
How can I enter a long playlist URL without typing on the remote?
Choose Upload by Browser in the import dialog. Scan the code with your phone on the same Wi-Fi and paste the link there. The TV receives it at once.
What does Working and Not Verified mean?
On import the app tests every stream. Working means the address answered. Not Verified means it did not, or it has not been tested yet. The check is only a connection test and is no guarantee that a stream will play smoothly.
Can I use an XMLTV programme guide?
Yes. Import a .xml or .xml.gz XMLTV file. The info window then shows the current and next programme. Without a guide it shows No program information.
Which stream formats are supported?
HLS, MP4, DASH, SmoothStreaming and RTSP, through Media3 ExoPlayer with an FFmpeg decoder for audio formats the device cannot play on its own.
Can I watch in a small window while browsing?
Yes. Long-press a channel and choose Picture-in-Picture. Press right or tap the small window to enlarge it.
What can I do if a channel will not play?
Choose Watch on Browser on that channel. If it also fails there, the stream itself is the problem. If it plays, check the format, the screen size setting or try another source.
Can I hide channels?
Yes. Set a parental password and choose the channels to hide. Demo mode additionally masks channel names and logos.
Can I back up my channel list?
Yes. Use Export Playlist on a category to save an M3U8 file in your Download folder.
