Hello folks!

Does anybody can recommend some sort of IPTV FOSS app for Android?

Any recommendation is appreciated.

For generic m3us Kodi is the only good FOSS option I have found that works today with the broken stream shit. But it only works on RISC shit, so if you are Android on Intel, you're fucked.

Currently, I see 3 IPTV apps on fdroid. IPTV Player, FastoTVLite, and Digilog TV. I remember trying the last 2 a long time ago.

I didn't find these apps on F-Droid repo

You need to add the IzzyOnDroid repo to see these

Your experience may vary, but I'd wager if you put that player on a PlutoTV IPTV stream in the US an ad break would kill your stream at least 10% of the time, making it fairly unwatchable

There is also M3U, which is the best one I could find when I tried some out earlier in the year.

Zapp for DACH public broadcasters.

I'm also interested. Every now and then, I try to find one.

The last time I think it was Fasto TV Lite from this list:

But IIRC it just would not go full screen (you need to buy the full version for that I think) and I soon uninstalled it.

And the last time I tried IPTVnator on Android, it couldn't handle a large playlist, like IPTV-org.

ATM I'm using a proprietary app, Televizo, or the website https://tv.garden/ .
