Choose a tag to compare

@egemenmermer egemenmermer released this 22 Oct 01:22

First public test build of Carina: a player for your own IPTV playlists (Xtream Codes and M3U). Free and open source under GPL-3.0. Carina ships no channels or content.

This is a beta. The Android TV and webOS builds have not been tried on a real TV yet, so expect rough edges. Please report what you find under Issues, and include the device model.

What's new

  • Android TV / Google TV
    • The whole app works with the remote: Back and OK on every screen, holding OK opens context menus, and focus is clearly visible.
    • Player: on-screen controls, a seek bar you can focus, previous channel, and a mini guide.
    • Guide, multi-channel view and movie and series rows can all be navigated with the remote.
    • Add a playlist from your phone: scan the QR code shown on the TV and type the details on your phone.
    • Programme reminders appear as notifications, and the screen stays awake while a video plays.
  • webOS (LG):
    • Live TV with now/next, movies and series, favourites and search.
    • Resume where you left off, and autoplay of the next episode.
    • Large M3U playlists are parsed in the background.
  • All platforms: the User-Agent names the real OS, plus test and CI fixes.

Known limits

  • Android TV: video output has not been checked on a real device; the emulator cannot render the player's video. The first reports from testers matter most here.
  • webOS: codec support (AC-3/E-AC-3, HEVC in TS) depends on the TV model. Live streams use the TV's own player.

Türkçe kısa not: Bu bir test sürümü. Android TV ve webOS sürümleri henüz gerçek TV'de denenmedi; gördüğünüz sorunları cihaz modeliyle birlikte Issues'a ya da Egemen'e yazın. Android TV'de APK'yı "Downloader" uygulamasıyla kurabilirsiniz; LG için webOS README'deki Türkçe kurulum rehberine bakın.
