In plain English

My TV (my-tv-0) is an Android TV application written in Kotlin that plays IPTV streams, which are live television channels delivered over the internet. The app lets users load a custom list of channels from their own source rather than being locked into a built-in channel selection. This makes it popular among viewers who want to watch internet-based live TV on a television set or Android TV box. The README is written in Traditional Chinese and describes basic controls: a single press on the remote opens the channel list, a double press opens settings, and a long press opens an EPG-style program guide. Users can configure channel sources either by scanning a QR code within the app or by visiting a local web address the app exposes on the home network. The app can also automatically refresh the channel list each time it starts, if a source URL is configured. Channel lists can be provided in three formats: a plain text format with group and channel name pairs, the standard M3U playlist format used widely by IPTV services, and a JSON format that supports additional fields like channel logos, numbers, and custom HTTP headers for streams that require them. Installation is done by sideloading the APK file, either through ADB (a developer tool for connecting a computer to an Android device) or through the built-in installer on Xiaomi TV devices. Download links are provided in the releases section of the repository. A companion server project called my-tv-server is mentioned as a recommended pairing for managing channel sources.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1

I have an M3U playlist of IPTV channels. Write me a valid M3U file with group headers, channel logos, and custom HTTP headers so I can load it into my-tv-0.

Prompt 2

Create a JSON channel list format compatible with my-tv-0 that includes channel logos, numbers, and HTTP headers for streams that require authentication.

Prompt 3

I want to set up my-tv-server alongside my-tv-0. Explain how to configure the server so the Android TV app can fetch its channel list automatically.

Prompt 4

Walk me through sideloading the my-tv-0 APK onto an Android TV box using ADB from a Mac.
