IPTV player for Android TV: M3U and Xtream Codes in MIRA Player
M3U, Xtream Codes, EPG and a live TV guide, with an honest look at TiviMate and IPTV Smarters Pro.
MIRA Player plays IPTV sources you bring: an M3U playlist URL or an Xtream Codes source. It runs on Android TV and Google TV (Google Play, Android 7+), with a live TV guide, watchlist, search and Continue Watching. It provides no channels; your playlist is yours.
M3U and Xtream Codes, both supported
An M3U URL is a plain playlist file; Xtream Codes is a source type that serves playlist and EPG data together. MIRA Player accepts both (live documentation, 2026-09-30), and the live TV guide fills from your source's EPG data.
Connection is supported in-app. Playback depends on your sources, device, codec support and network. You connect sources in the web app at miraplayer.tv/app; your provider credentials stay between you and your provider. Sources are connected on the web at miraplayer.tv/app, not on the TV. MIRA Player is a player, not a content service: it hosts, bundles and supplies no channels, movies or streams.
