The IPTV player LG TVs never got.
A free, guide-first IPTV player for LG webOS, built to feel like TiviMate and go further.
tivibro.app

Welcome to the TiviBro wiki. It explains every screen and every setting on the TV, with screenshots, every page of the web editor, and how to get help when something is off.

TiviBro does not provide any channels, streams or playlists. You bring your own legal subscription (Xtream Codes, or M3U with XMLTV).

What no other IPTV player does

TiviMate set the bar for IPTV on a TV, and TiviBro follows its layout on purpose. These are the things we haven't found in TiviMate or any other IPTV player, on any platform:

📱 Set up from your phone, from the very first screen	A QR code waits beside the login form. Scan it and TiviBro's editor opens on your phone, signed in: type your login with a real keyboard or restore a backup, and the TV moves on by itself.
🧭 A set-up tour built from your own playlist	Right after you connect, TiviBro counts what your list has and asks only about that: the countries in it, East or West, the cities its local groups carry, its event channels, its duplicates. A running count shows what you'll keep. Scan the QR code instead and the web editor opens on your phone, signed in.
🖼️ Fills in missing logos, without hosting a single one	A small index points at iptv-org's and tv-logos' own logos. Matched by guide id, cleaned name and country, and local call sign; a broken provider logo is swapped too. Pick each channel's own logo or one matching style for dark screens.
🏟️ Reads sports and PPV listings from channel names	When a provider writes the event into the name instead of the guide, TiviBro turns it into a short channel name, a guide entry at the real time in your time zone, and an Events by time list across all your passes. Dozens of naming styles, tested on 1,250 real event channels.
🖥️ A full editor on your computer	Clean up 10,000 channels with a keyboard and mouse instead of a remote: hide, sort, rename, copy and move, then Send to TV. Unsent work is autosaved on the TV within seconds, with a version history, so a refresh never costs you an hour.
🔁 Switches to a working copy by itself	Same channel in FHD, HD and SD? When one dies, TiviBro moves to the next version on its own and tells you.
🧹 Clean-up that already knows IPTV	Pick your city once and every local group (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CW, PBS…) keeps only your stations. Keep East or West feeds in one click. Name rules preloaded for about 250 country codes, quality tags, symbols and emoji (no typing prefix lists by hand), countries read from any naming style, duplicates in different qualities, and Smart match for channels without a guide.
🙈 Hides channels with nothing on	Event channels that say "Off Air" or "No Event Scheduled" stay out of the way, and come back by themselves when an event is named.
🔐 Locked backups, restored from the first screen	One AES-256 file with every playlist, login, group and setting. A brand-new TV restores it from a computer before you've touched a setting.
💸 Everything free, nothing locked	Catch-up, multiple playlists, backups, reminders and parental controls are all included. Open source, no account, no ads, no tracking, just an anonymous daily count of installs by version, which you can switch off.
📺 Made for LG TVs	Runs on the TV itself, webOS 4 and newer. No Android box or Fire Stick needed.
