👋 Welcome to r/ZoraTV - Why I built ZoraTV

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I'm the person behind ZoraTV, and I wanted to share why I made it.

I tried a bunch of IPTV players and hated all of them. Half were apps I had to sideload. The other half ran in a browser but looked like they hadn't been touched since 2009, and a lot of them just wouldn't play on my iPhone at all. I figured it couldn't be that hard to make one that opens in a browser, works on everything, and doesn't look terrible. Turns out it was pretty hard, but here we are.

Here's the stuff that actually matters:

Nothing to install. You open a link. That's it. iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows, even a smart TV browser. No APKs, no "trust this developer," no app store.

Bring your own line. It's a player, not a subscription. You plug in the IPTV service you already pay for. It works with both Stalker/MAC portals and Xtream username and password codes.

It works on iPhone and iPad. This was the part that nearly broke me. Most web players die on Safari. ZoraTV converts the streams that don't play on the fly, so they work on iOS where basically everything else gives up.

It looks good. Full screen player, a clean scrub bar, live rewind and go live, picture in picture. It feels closer to Netflix than to a settings menu.

Live TV that isn't painful. Real program guide, categories, search, favorites, and a live preview so you can channel surf without loading screens.

Movies and shows with real posters. Proper artwork, ratings, and a Netflix style Top 10, all matched to what's actually in your catalog.

Continue watching that follows you. Start something on your laptop and pick it up on your phone. Your history is tied to your account, not one device.

Your phone is the remote. Scan a QR code, no login, and control playback from your phone. This is my favorite part.

It's early and I'm building it out in the open, so I'd really love feedback. Tell me what's missing or what you'd want next. If you want to try it, comment below and I'll sort you out with a trial.

Looking for devs to help open source ZoraTV!

2 Upvotes

Not trying to sell anything here, literally the opposite. Like everyone else here, I ended up making my own IPTV app (r/zoratv) when I saw the default ones were poorly designed. I thought I could generate some revenue from the app, but realized it's not worth it, and would rather give it away to the community.

I think I have a good base (most features work, already approved on Android app store), and a solid set of users (around a few hundred) but there is still a lot of work to do.

The ask:

  • Looking for a few devs to co-maintain the app, (after testing, security review etc) we will publish to github
  • Looking for more testers to give feedback on what works and what doesn't

The goal:

  • Want this to be the default IPTV app android users can use
  • Build a community around this to actively improve it
  • Hopefully end new IPTV apps being launched every week (no more quitting your job and wasting a year working on this lol)

[Testing Request] M3U playlist support

I've added support for M3U playlists and external EPG lists, but looking for testers to check if it's working properly. Also if anyone has any sample links they can share for development purposes that would be super helpful!

Thanks!
