StreamX: a premium media player for Android TV and Google TV
A fast, polished 10-foot media player for your own M3U / M3U8 playlists, Xtream Codes logins and Stalker / MAG portals. Add your source and StreamX turns it into a Netflix-style experience with artwork, trailers, cast, an EPG TV guide, trending lists and suggestions for every title.
A media player built for the TV remote
StreamX plays the playlists, portals and logins you already have. It is designed from the start for Android TV and Google TV: large artwork, D-pad navigation, instant search, favourites, several viewing profiles and a clean live TV guide. It works with the three most common source types and can combine several sources in one place.
