# An IPTV player for Android TV and Google TV

Aina puts your IPTV line on the television you already have: every channel, the guide, and your films and series, laid out for the remote and readable from the sofa.

## Made for the remote

- A focus rail down the side, ten-foot type, and a clear edge on whatever the remote is on.
- Every control reachable with the arrows, OK and Back: no mouse, no touch screen.
- Change channel and seek with the arrows, without leaving the picture.
- Volume and brightness in the player’s controls, moved a step at a time.

## Plays what TV boxes turn down

Many boxes and televisions refuse some of the streams providers send, MKV films and some TS channels among them. Aina plays every stream with libVLC rather than leaning on the device’s own player, so a channel that plays on your phone plays on your television too.

## Everything from your line

- Live TV with now and next, favourites and categories.
- The [TV guide](https://ainaiptv.com/epg-tv-guide/): what is on now and tonight, a programme search, a week per channel, and catch-up.
- Films and series with posters, plots, seasons and episodes, and resume where you stopped.
- [Xtream Codes](https://ainaiptv.com/xtream-codes-player/) and [M3U](https://ainaiptv.com/m3u-player/), as many subscriptions as you like.
- Built for big lines: tested with a 300,000-entry playlist, and a guide of hundreds of megabytes read without running a box out of memory.

## Which devices

Televisions and boxes that run Android TV or Google TV with Android 7.0 or later and Google Play: Chromecast with Google TV, Google TV Streamer, NVIDIA Shield TV, and the many televisions with Google TV or Android TV built in.

## Set it up

1. **Get Aina from Google Play**: On the television itself. Aina is coming to Google Play soon.
2. **Add your subscription**: Choose Xtream Codes or M3U playlist and type in what your provider sent. You can leave out `http://`: Aina adds it.
3. **Type it the easy way**: On Google TV, the Google TV app on your phone has a remote with a keyboard, which types into the field on the television.
4. **Watch**: Your library fills in as it loads, and opens straight away after that.

> **Amazon Fire TV**: Fire TV runs Amazon’s Fire OS and sells apps through Amazon’s own store, which Aina is not in today. On Fire TV, Aina is not available yet.

## Questions and answers

### What is the best IPTV app for Android TV?

One built for the remote that plays every stream your provider sends and handles the size of your line. Aina is made for exactly that, with a TV guide, catch-up, films and series, and a 7-day free trial.

### Does Aina work on Chromecast with Google TV?

Yes. Chromecast with Google TV and Google TV Streamer run Google TV, and Aina installs on them from Google Play.

### Does Aina work on a Fire TV Stick?

Not yet. Fire TV uses Amazon’s own store, which Aina is not in. Android TV and Google TV devices are supported.

### Do I need a mouse or a keyboard?

No. Everything works with the remote. A phone’s keyboard only makes typing a long address quicker.
