Live TV as you know it
Channel groups, favorites and channel numbers. Up and down zaps, OK opens the channel list over the running picture, Right shows recently watched channels to switch back quickly.
FIDA Player is an IPTV player: it turns your own M3U playlist into a real TV experience on Fire TV, Android TV and Google TV – and, with its own app, on phones and tablets too: live TV with channel numbers, movies and series with posters, fast and tidy, built for the remote and for touch.
No nested menus: on the TV every feature is just a few buttons away on the remote, on the phone just a tap.
Channel groups, favorites and channel numbers. Up and down zaps, OK opens the channel list over the running picture, Right shows recently watched channels to switch back quickly.
Posters, descriptions and ratings, seasons and episodes. “Continue watching” remembers where you stopped, and the next episode starts by itself.
ExoPlayer for fast starts, VLC for difficult streams. If a channel doesn’t work, the app switches automatically.
If a movie has several audio tracks, you choose the language and subtitles when it starts. Your choice is remembered for the next movies.
Scan the code on the TV and send the link or file from your phone – no tedious typing with the remote.
Playlists and logins are stored only on your device. Our server only knows the device activation.
Hold OK – and from anywhere you get to live TV, movies, series, settings or the other player.

Buffer from “fast start” to “weak Wi-Fi”, a built-in audio decoder for rare sound formats, and fit, stretch or zoom.
