LXtream Player: the streaming player actually built for your TV

Most IPTV apps are phone apps squeezed onto a television. LXtream Player is designed the other way around — remote first, couch first, fast first. Here's a full tour of what it does.

1. A home screen your whole family understands

No cluttered menus. Five entries: Live, VOD Series, VOD Films, Catch Up and Favorites. Pick one and you're one click from watching.

The home screen — everything is one click away.

2. Smart grouping: hundreds of categories, tamed

If you've used IPTV before, you know the pain: a flat list of 300+ categories with names like "|FR| TF1 HEVC", "FR - SPORTS", "UK: ENTERTAINMENT". LXtream Player reads those names, recognizes the country and the group, and rebuilds everything into a two-level panel:

The same grouping powers movies and series too — so "EN - Action 2024" and "UK Movies" both end up exactly where you'd look for them.

Two-level country and category grouping
Left: countries. Middle: real categories. Right: channels with logos and EPG markers.

3. Live TV with a proper EPG

Channel logos, the current and next program, and a full program guide — with the timeline bar at the bottom showing what's on now and what's next. Zapping is instant: up/down moves through channels while the info bar keeps you oriented.

Live TV playback
Live playback — smooth HD and 4K where your provider supports it.

4. Cast to the big screen, from your phone

Start a movie on your phone, then send it to the TV with one tap:

5. Movies & series that feel like a real catalog

Poster art, clean grids, search, and categories grouped the same smart way as live TV. Series open by season with episode lists — and when an episode finishes, the next one starts automatically. Long libraries load in pages, so even huge VOD collections open fast on older TVs.

Movies grid
The films grid — posters, countries and year groups, all auto-organized.

6. Details that matter every day
