What is IPTuner?
IPTuner is a TV-first media player for Live TV, Guide browsing, Movies, Shows, recordings, search, and playback control on supported Android TV-class devices.
Does IPTuner include TV channels or a subscription?
No. IPTuner is a media player. It does not provide television channels, subscriptions, provider accounts, or media content. You add your own compatible source.
Can I browse the Guide without stopping the current channel?
Yes. The Guide is designed around the same production playback session, so Guide browsing does not create a second player.
What can Unified Search find?
Unified Search can cover local EPG/programme data plus Movies and Shows in the local catalogue. Search scope options include TV, Movies, Shows, and All Media where available.
Can IPTuner record Live TV?
IPTuner supports immediate and scheduled local recording where the source, device, and selected storage path support it.
What are the Timeshift activation modes?
Off keeps no local rolling history. On demand is the default and begins local history when pause/rewind is explicitly requested. Always automatically maintains rolling history for eligible Live streams.
What does HDR compatibility do?
Settings > Player > HDR compatibility provides Automatic, Convert HDR to SDR, and Always preserve HDR. Automatic is the normal choice; Convert HDR to SDR is intended for display/HDMI chains that render HDR unusually dark.
Which devices is IPTuner designed for?
IPTuner targets Android TV-class living-room devices, including Fire TV and Google TV interfaces built on Android TV. Fire TV is a primary validation platform. Specific capabilities can vary by hardware and OS integration.
