Sidstuga: IPTV M3U & Xtream

M3U & Xtream IPTV player. DVR, EPG, Cloud Sync. TiviMate alternative. No ads.

Stream live TV on Android TV, phone and tablet with your M3U playlist or Xtream Codes credentials. The modern TiviMate alternative and IPTV Smarters alternative — fast M3U8 player with DVR recording, EPG guide, end-to-end encrypted Cloud Sync, and full mobile↔TV parity. No ads, no account required to play.

CLOUD SYNC — END-TO-END ENCRYPTED
Sync your favourites, watch history and parental settings across every device you sign in on. Your password is the only key — derived locally with Argon2id and used to encrypt your data with AES-256-GCM before it leaves the device. The server holds opaque ciphertext we cannot read. Premium with a 7-day free trial via Google Play.
