About this app

Nightmare TV is a premium, native IPTV player for Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV and Android phones/tablets. It plays YOUR OWN playlists — M3U and Xtream Codes logins from services you have the right to use. It hosts, sells, links to, and bundles NO content of any kind. It is the playback engine only.

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
Most Android IPTV apps run on ExoPlayer, which clips HDR highlights and downmixes object audio. Nightmare TV runs on a native libmpv 2026 engine — the library behind the mpv reference player:

• Real BT.2390 HDR tone-mapping with per-frame peak detection — no blown highlights
• Dolby Atmos / DTS-X / TrueHD bitstream passthrough over HDMI on capable devices
• 4K HEVC Main10, AV1, VP9 hardware decode
• Automatic picture tier — the app measures what your device can sustain and picks the sharpest setting it can hold, then steps down by itself if it detects real stutter

LIVE TV, DONE PROPERLY
• Multi-day XMLTV program guide with timeline, reminders and catch-up (where your provider supports it)
• Instant rewind on live TV (ring-buffer)
• Same-match failover — if a stream dies, switch sources without losing your place
• Multi-view: up to 4 streams at once with smart bandwidth save
• Channel-number zap, voice search, natural-language guide search
• Non-destructive channel editor (hide / rename / regroup), parental controls with PIN

RECORDING (DVR)
• One-tap recording to MP4 on your device
• Scheduled recordings from the guide, one off, daily or weekly, while the app is running

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
• No account, no ads, no telemetry of your viewing
• Playlists and credentials never leave your device
• E2E-encrypted cloud sync (optional) for settings and favorites

PRICING
14-day full-feature free trial — no card, no email. After the trial, one single Lifetime unlock ends the payments forever — no subscription. We publish a Kill-Switch Pledge: if we ever retire the activation server, a permanent offline unlock ships first (nightmaretv.net/continuity). And a 30-day Freeze Guarantee: if our own diagnostics say a freeze was our fault and we can't fix it in 30 days, you're refunded even after the trial window closes.

WORKS ON YOUR DEVICES
One licence covers your phone, your tablet and your TV. Android phones and tablets, Chromebooks, Android TV and Google TV boxes, Fire TV Stick and Cube, NVIDIA Shield, Onn 4K, Mi Box, TCL and Sony Bravia sets, Formuler and BuzzTV. Windows and macOS builds are on nightmaretv.net and the same licence unlocks them.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Does it play M3U? Yes. Plain M3U and M3U8 playlists, from a local file or a URL.
Does it support Xtream Codes? Yes. Sign in with server, username and password. Several servers can be saved side by side, and the app moves to the next one if the first stops answering.
Does it come with channels? No. Nothing is included. You bring your own playlist.
Is there a subscription? No. One payment unlocks it permanently.
Does it work offline? Playback needs your own source online. Your settings, favourites and recordings stay on the device.

IMPORTANT — READ BEFORE INSTALLING
Nightmare TV is ONLY A PLAYER. It comes with no channels, no playlists and no content. You must supply your own legal sources from services you have the right to use.

What’s new

On a phone, tap the left of the picture for the channel list and the right for volume.

Channel names now fit on a phone held upright, and home screen labels are no longer covered by their icons.

The back key returns to the channel list instead of the home screen.

Secondary player controls moved into a labelled menu.

A stream you paused is no longer reported as a channel fault.

Turkish now reads correctly across menus, dialogs and help.
