🎥 MeeTube TV — A Modern YouTube Experience for Your TV

MeeTube TV brings a redesigned YouTube experience to Android TV, Google TV, and Fire TV devices. Built specifically for the big screen, it combines a remote-friendly interface, a frosted glass design, and smooth video playback with useful features for discovering and watching content.

Designed for television rather than simply stretched from a phone layout, MeeTube TV makes browsing, searching, and controlling playback comfortable from your couch.

📺 Designed for the Big Screen

- A dedicated TV interface with a floating glass sidebar and clear focus indicators. - Remote-control navigation using the D-pad and OK button. - TV-friendly Home rows, channel cards, search, and playback controls. - Mouse-wheel scrolling that works like D-pad navigation. - A focused video card with a visible highlight, so you can easily see where you are.

🔎 Discover and Browse Videos

Explore videos and channels through a TV-optimized Home screen and search experience. Browse content categories, subscriptions, and Shorts, and move through video cards using your remote.

▶️ Smooth Video Playback

- Fast video previews: MeeTube TV loads a focused video's preview in the background, so playback can start more quickly when you press OK. - AV1 playback on TVs with compatible hardware decoding, helping reduce data use while maintaining picture quality. - Playback buffering and recovery improvements for a smoother viewing experience. - A simplified player with accessible controls and quality selection. - Support for live streams and playback improvements based on the project's latest release.

📱 Shorts on TV

Watch vertical Shorts in a dedicated player, with a portrait-style video card, progress indicator, and video information. Use Up and Down on your remote to move between Shorts and OK to pause or resume playback.

🛡️ SponsorBlock

SponsorBlock can identify supported sponsored segments and other community-submitted sections. In MeeTube TV, it asks before skipping a segment instead of automatically skipping it, giving you control over what you watch.

🎨 Frosted Glass Interface

Enjoy MeeTube's distinctive glass-inspired design, with a translucent sidebar, focused navigation elements, and a clean player layout created for television screens.

⚙️ Performance Improvements

The TV release includes memory optimizations that reduce memory use during video playback and card previews. It also improves startup behavior and fixes playback and compatibility issues on supported devices.

MeeTube TV is distributed in separate APK builds:
