In plain English

TVAPP is a curated index of Android TV applications and streaming source links, maintained as a GitHub repository so people with an Android TV or TV box can find vetted versions of popular apps in one place. The maintainer gathers APK files for video players, live TV viewers, karaoke (K-song) apps, games and utility tools, then organizes them in a single table that lists each app's name, current version, a direct download link, working status, and notes about what the app does or which configuration source it needs. The repository is essentially a community-driven catalog rather than a piece of software itself. The README's main content is a large table where each row points to an APK file hosted in the repo, with status markers showing whether each entry is currently working. Many of the listed apps are shell players that need an external interface source, meaning short configuration URLs that tell the player where to fetch streams. The project also collects working interface and live-TV sources further down the README. Someone would use it to set up a home entertainment box without hunting across forums for apps and stream lists. The README is written in Chinese and explicitly states that all resources are reshared from various contributors for personal study only, with commercial use forbidden and a takedown process via issues. The full README is longer than what was provided here. The repository's primary language is listed as JavaScript, though most of what it ships is APK files plus markdown documentation rather than original source code.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
I have an Android TV box and want to set up live TV using apps from youhunwl/tvapp. Which shell player app should I install first and how do I add a stream source URL to it?
Prompt 2
The tvapp catalog lists both an app APK and an interface source URL. How do I combine them, install the APK, then load the source URL inside the player to get channels?
Prompt 3
I see some apps in the youhunwl/tvapp table are marked as not working. How do I check the current status column and find the newest working alternative?
