Other players make you click one channel at a time just to find out what's on. GateswayIPTV draws the whole schedule at once — every channel a row, time across the top, programme blocks sized to their real length, and a live line showing exactly where you are.
A player only. No channels, no playlists and no subscription are included — you sign in with your own IPTV provider.
The grid guide
Scroll sideways through time, up and down through your channels. The red line is now. Each block tells you how long is left, so you know whether to join a programme or wait for the next one.
What's in it
A provider can hand you twenty thousand channels. Most of them you will never watch, and some of them do not work at all. GateswayIPTV is built around fixing that.
Every channel as a row, time along the top, programme blocks drawn to scale. A live now-line and minutes-remaining on whatever is playing. Jump straight from a block to the stream.
Choose which channels appear in your guide and hide the rest. Switch off whole languages or categories in one go, so a twenty-thousand-channel list becomes the sixty channels you actually watch.
Tests your channels one by one and records what happened, with the actual reason — timed out, not found, refused, no video. When the provider says the line is busy, the channel is left as not yet tested instead of being marked dead, and tried again later.
Store more than one login from your provider. If a mirror server stops responding, playback moves to another one without you digging through settings to find out why the picture stopped.
Browse your provider's on-demand catalogue by poster, with seasons and episodes laid out properly instead of a flat list of filenames.
Adult categories from your provider are hidden behind a PIN and stay out of the guide, search and recently-watched until it is entered.
Programme data refreshes in the background and is cached on the device, so the guide is already filled in when you open it and still works if the connection drops.
A desktop build for Windows and a remote-friendly build for Fire TV and Android TV. Playback runs on mpv, so awkward streams behave the same on both, and the TV layout is designed for a d-pad rather than a mouse pretending to be one.
Coming soon
GateswayIPTV is a paid app and the price will be published here before it goes on sale. For now the app is available to invited testers only.
