Built for Android TV
Your entertainment.
Your way.
TVMamba is a fast, modern IPTV player designed for the big screen. Add your own playlist, sit back — and let any phone on your Wi-Fi become the remote.
A media player — bring your own playlist. No channels, no account, no tracking.
The player
Made for the sofa,
not the settings menu.
TVMamba is an IPTV media player for Android TV, phones and tablets. It ships empty — you connect your own authorised IPTV service or playlist, and TVMamba turns it into a polished big-screen experience.
Instant channel changes. A guide that stays readable from across the room. Your channels, groups and favourites organised exactly the way you left them — even after a playlist update.
No account required
Your playlists and preferences live on your device. There is no sign-up, no viewing account and nothing to sync away.
Your sources, your setup
Add M3U links, files or Xtream Codes logins. Merge several providers into one guide — colour-coded, so you always know what is what.
Zero bundled content
TVMamba opens empty and plays what you point it at — like any good player. Nothing is included, promoted or sold.
The standout feature
One scan turns any phone into the remote.
TVMamba shows a QR code on your TV. Scan it with any phone on the same Wi-Fi — Android or iPhone — and a full remote opens in the browser. Search, browse, type channel numbers and control playback from the sofa.
Open TVMamba on your TV
A connection QR code appears right on the television screen.
Scan with any phone
The normal camera app on Android or iPhone is all you need.
Browse from the sofa
The full remote opens instantly in the phone browser — save it to your home screen for next time.
The experience
Four minutes in TVMamba.
01 — Setup
Set up in minutes
Add a playlist by M3U link, file or Xtream login — or scan a QR code and type the details on your phone instead of pecking at the TV remote.
02 — Style
Make it yours
Themes from OLED black to Nord, accent colours, fonts, text size and list density. Pick a look once — every screen follows, instantly.
03 — Live TV
Live TV, under control
Instant zapping from a warm player, a corner preview while you keep browsing, and now-and-next information always on screen.
04 — Guide
A guide worth reading
A clean XMLTV timeline with a now-line, programme details, and recording you can schedule straight from the guide.
Core features
The essentials, done with purpose.
Fast playback is only the start. TVMamba is built around the way people actually browse, organise and watch on a television.
Every match, one screen.
Multiview builds a live mosaic of up to eight panels — choose which one you hear and expand any tile to full screen. Sports Command Centre finds the games hiding in your own guide and lines them up for you.

D-pad first
Every screen is built around the TV remote, with hold-OK context menus that work on native and HDMI-CEC remotes alike.

Adjustable text size and list density, bold focus states, and layouts that stay legible from across the room.
Never lose the game
The channel keeps playing in a corner preview while you browse the menu — commit with OK when you find something better.

Good to know
Questions, answered plainly.
Does TVMamba provide channels or subscriptions?
No. TVMamba is a media player only. It does not include, sell or recommend channels, streams or playlists — you add your own legally obtained playlist or IPTV service, and you are responsible for the sources you use.
What do I need to use it?
An Android TV, Google TV, Android phone or tablet — plus your own authorised playlist: an M3U or M3U8 link or file, or an Xtream Codes login from your provider.
How does the phone remote work?
TVMamba shows a QR code on your TV. Scan it with any phone on the same Wi-Fi and a full remote opens in the phone's browser — nothing to install. Everything stays on your local network; use it on a private, trusted Wi-Fi.
Does the remote work on iPhone?
Yes. The remote is a web page, so iPhones and iPads can control the TV even though the app itself is Android.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. The yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial, billed and managed by Google Play — cancel anytime before renewal. A one-time Lifetime option is also available.
How many devices can I use?
TVMamba sets no device limit of its own — your access follows your Google Play account across your devices. Your IPTV provider may limit how many connections its service allows; that is separate from the app.
Does TVMamba store my playlist or viewing data?
Only on your device. Playlists, favourites and settings stay in the app's private storage — there is no viewing account, no analytics and no advertising trackers. Details are in the privacy policy.
How do I get support?
Email us at dabbajafar@gmail.com — tell us your device model and what you were doing, and we will help you sort it out.
Clear from the start
A media player — not a content service.
TVMamba does not include, sell or recommend channels, streams or playlists. You choose what to connect, and you are responsible for using sources you are entitled to access.
No bundled content
The player opens empty and waits for your playlist. There is nothing to watch until you add your own source.
No provider affiliations
TVMamba is not affiliated with any IPTV provider and does not point you to one. Where you get your service is your choice.
Use authorised sources
Content rights and local rules remain your responsibility. Only connect playlists and services you are legally entitled to use.
Watch on the big screen.
Control from your pocket.
TVMamba is rolling out through Google Play. Get it on your Android TV, add your playlist, and scan once for the remote.
Currently in Google Play closed beta — the public listing link lands here at launch.
