moyutv is an IPTV player app for Android TV and TV set-top boxes, written in Java. IPTV refers to watching live television channels delivered over the internet rather than through a cable or antenna. The app reads M3U and TXT playlist files, which are common file formats that list the addresses of TV streams, and plays those channels on a big-screen TV interface controlled by a remote. The app includes two separate video playback engines that it can switch between. The first is ExoPlayer, the standard Android video player, which handles common modern formats like HLS and DASH with hardware-accelerated decoding. The second is MPV Player, a more capable player integrated via compiled native code. MPV is there specifically to solve a problem common on older TV boxes: some channels have video but no audio because the box lacks the hardware decoder for older audio formats like AC3. MPV handles those in software instead. Beyond standard stream URLs, the app also supports routing streams through a SOCKS5 proxy (useful for accessing geo-restricted channels) and loading channels through an embedded web browser component. It includes JavaScript scripting support, where a small script can be stored locally on the device or fetched from a remote server to extract the real stream address from sites that hide it behind a login or dynamic page. There is also automatic detection of YouTube pages that triggers proxy-based playback. The Electronic Program Guide (EPG) feature shows TV schedules alongside channels. The app uses a fuzzy matching algorithm that compares phonetics and character similarity to automatically link channel names in the playlist to the correct schedule entry, even when the names are spelled differently. EPG data fetching supports HTTP redirects and compressed responses to reduce bandwidth use. The entire interface is designed for remote control navigation: smooth directional-pad focus movement, number-key shortcuts for switching channels directly, and no mouse or touch required. The project is released under the MIT license.
