Features

Everything in the player

A detailed look at what GroundlyTv supports. It is an IPTV client for user-supplied playlists and credentials — it does not provide video content.

Highlights

The capabilities most people feel first.

Modern TV & phone UI

Native 10-foot TV experience and a separate touch UI for phone — never one layout stretched across both.

On Demand — Movies & Series

Separate hubs for movies and series from the same playlist or Xtream account.

EPG / TV guide

Now/next and schedules for your channels, with auto and manual refresh.

Favorites

Create your own folders inside Favorites — mix channels, movies, and series however you watch.

Multiple named playlists

Save many sources; one active catalog at a time, each with its own data.

M3U, Xtream & Stalker

First-class IPTV sources with the same browsing and playback stack.

Modern TV & phone UI

Native 10-foot TV experience and a separate touch UI for phone — never one layout stretched across both.

Home is a jump-in page with continue watching, favorites, live folders, movies, and series. TV uses a sidebar and focus navigation; phone uses Material-style touch patterns.

On Demand — Movies & Series

Separate hubs for movies and series from the same playlist or Xtream account.

Categories come from your catalog. Series get a title page with seasons and episodes; movies open a detail page with play and resume.

EPG / TV guide

Now/next and schedules for your channels, with auto and manual refresh.

Guide window covers about 2 hours past and 18 hours ahead. Live player can show now/next when programmes are cached. On TV, folders sit beside the time grid; on phone, a channel schedule opens as a sheet.

Catch-up / timeshift

Watch from start when your provider exposes catch-up for a programme.

Uses playlist catch-up attributes and provider timeshift URLs when available. Availability always depends on the IPTV source.

Playback clock

Optional always-on wall clock while video plays with controls hidden.

Off by default. Choose corner and transparency in Settings → Playback. Shared preference on phone and TV.

Favorites

Create your own folders inside Favorites — mix channels, movies, and series however you watch.

One Favorites system with folders you name yourself. A folder can hold live channels, movies, series, or any mix. Quick star toggles the default folder; long-press manages any folder. Home shows the default; the Favorites screen manages every folder. Stored locally per playlist.

Continue watching

Local On Demand progress with resume from Home and title pages.

Optional auto-next episode when a series episode finishes. Works on phone and TV.

Go to series

Jump from the player to the series page without killing playback.

Back returns to the same player session and continues from the same position on phone and TV.

Search

Global search across live, movies, and series — plus hub-scoped search.

From Series or Movies on TV, search stays within that hub. Global search runs on submit (not while typing). Recent history stores submitted queries only.

Multiple named playlists

Save many sources; one active catalog at a time, each with its own data.

Each playlist keeps its own indexed catalog, favorites, resume points, and guide. Switching to one you already loaded is a local read.

Live country scope

Per-playlist filter for which live countries or folders to index.

Narrow a huge provider to the countries you care about. Empty means index every country; On Demand stays fully indexed.

M3U, Xtream & Stalker

First-class IPTV sources with the same browsing and playback stack.

M3U / M3U8 / HLS URLs, Xtream Codes accounts, and Stalker (Ministra) portals for live (with light VOD when the portal provides it).

App language

English and Swedish UI in Settings.

Defaults to English. Playlist, channel, and programme names stay as the provider sends them.

Cast (phone)

Chromecast / Google Cast with the phone as remote.

On Demand resumes from the phone position; live starts at the live edge. Caption selection can follow to the receiver when the stream exposes text tracks.

Xtream Codes accounts

Add via server URL, username, and password — not only as a playlist file.

Catalog load uses get.php M3U for speed. Opening a title may fetch plot or cover once via player_api when missing.
