This is the Android companion to Accessible IPTV Client for Windows and Linux.

• Xtream Codes logins, Stalker Portals (portal address and MAC), M3U / M3U Plus playlist URLs, and M3U files stored on the device.
• Live TV, Movies, and Series, each with groups plus Favourites and All at the top. A series opens to its episodes, in season order.
• Search at the top of the screen covers every group in the section, with a Voice button that fills it by speech.
• XMLTV guide (.xml and .xml.gz), including large multi-hundred-megabyte guides. Each channel says what is on and until when; On Now lists everything airing; Guide Search finds upcoming programmes by title or description.
• Xtream and Stalker logins find their guide by themselves, and the guide re-imports on its own when the playlist changes.
• Catch-up playback for channels with an archive (Xtream timeshift and M3U catch-up templates, the same rules as the desktop app).
• Built-in player with always-visible controls and a full screen mode. It picks an audio description track when a channel has one, in the wording providers actually use, and remembers a track you choose per channel.
• Casts to Chromecast and Google TV, or hands any stream to another player app.
• Record now, schedule recordings from the guide, and download movies, episodes, and catch-up programmes. Scheduled recordings run 2 minutes past the end (both paddings are adjustable) and survive a restart. Recordings in progress are listed first, each with Stop. A live recording rides out network drops, and a catch-up download that ends early is fetched again.
• Previous channel, Recently watched, and Go to channel number; on a remote, the number keys jump straight to a channel.
• A dropped live stream reconnects by itself.
• Live playback starts with half a second buffered, then builds a 25-second cushion during playback for every provider. Settings can adjust the cushion and its 30-second default maximum.
• Subtitles shown under the video and spoken by your screen reader. The player says when the programme changes; Settings > Announcements sets how much it says.
• Export and import every setting, playlist, and favourite as one file.
• 14 languages: English, Spanish, Arabic, Portuguese (Brazilian), French, German, Russian, Turkish, Italian, Polish, Hindi, Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, and Hungarian. On Android 13 and later, Settings > Language picks one for this app only.
• Account info for Xtream and Stalker: expiry, trial, and connections.
• Built-in updater that pulls new versions from GitHub Releases and verifies the SHA-256 before installing.
• An offline Help screen, with headings for quick navigation.

Built from the start for TalkBack and other Android screen readers, following the CVS Health Android View accessibility techniques.

• Every list row is a single stop. Extra choices (another player, favourite, details, guide, record, download) are in the TalkBack Actions menu, or on long-press and the Menu key.
• Real buttons with short, plain names. No icon-only controls, no auto-hiding overlays.
• Headings on every section, labelled form fields, and errors that move you to the field that needs fixing.
• Status changes are announced politely and only when something actually happened.
• On Android TV, every control is reachable with the D-pad and has a thick, high-contrast focus outline.
