One app for the whole living room

Your playlists, one beautiful TV app.

Bring your own playlist. CobraTV Pro turns it into a proper smart-TV library — a full guide, recording, and films and series with new-episode alerts — and keeps every TV in the house in step. A free hub of radio, news and documentaries is built in.

No card needed. The 7 days start when you first open the app.

New in October 2026

Just added

In CobraTV Pro 0.9.1740 for Android TV, Fire TV and Android phones. Open the app and accept the update.

Notify me

Follow a series and the bell tells you when a new episode arrives. Every linked TV shares the same list, so mark it seen in one room and it clears in the others. You can add or remove shows from your account on this site too.

Xtream playlists. Up to 50 shows.

Next episode

Stopped in the credits? The series page offers the next episode instead of the last minute of the old one. In the player, Next episode is one press away.

Repeat recordings

Record a show every day, on weekdays, at weekends or on the days you pick. Keep the newest 3, 7 or 14 episodes, or all of them. Choose Repeat… on any programme in the guide.

A sound track that plays

Live channels with more than one sound track now pick one your TV can play. Switch it any time under Audio & subtitles in the player.

Missing descriptions, filled in

Add your own free TMDB key and CobraTV fills in film and series descriptions your provider left blank. It never changes a title. Paste the key once on your account page and press Send to my TVs.

Choose whose watching you see

Continue Watching shows what your other TVs are part-way through, labelled by room. Now each TV chooses which rooms appear on it.

Notify me, Next episode, repeat recordings, the TMDB key and choosing whose watching you see aren't in the Windows and Mac apps yet. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB. More about what's new · Join our Discord to hear about updates first.

Have a go

Use the guide yourself

A working miniature of the TV guide, using Free Hub channels — the ones you get before adding a playlist of your own. Pick a channel, open a programme, star a favourite. Nothing here is connected to an account and nothing is recorded.

Demonstration — sample content, nothing is connected.

Why people keep it

Three things it does that a playlist alone cannot

Live cameras in the Free Hub

All your playlists, together

Add as many as you like and switch between them without setting anything up twice. Give each one a name, a colour and an icon so you always know which provider a channel or film came from — and see your favourites from all of them in one place.

Live news channels in the Free Hub

A guide you can actually use

Around seven days of programmes where your provider supplies them, searchable, with reminders, record-from-guide and repeat recordings. Catch-up too, where the provider offers it.

Continue Watching on the Home screen

Every television in step

Link your TVs and your favourites, favourite groups, My List, recently watched, Continue Watching and the shows you follow go with you from room to room. Start a film in the bedroom, finish it in the lounge.

Included, no playlist needed

The Free Hub

Much more than just an IPTV Player

“I purchased a lifetime licence for CobraTV Pro at the end of the seven-day trial, and by that stage the decision was an easy one. I was genuinely impressed by what the developers have created. … It feels more like a complete media hub than simply an IPTV player. … Five stars from me.”

Questions

The things people ask first

What is CobraTV Pro?

A media player for Android TV, Fire TV, Android phones and tablets, Windows PCs and Macs. It turns playlists you already have into a smart-TV style library, and keeps every TV in your house in step.

Does it include TV channels or a playlist?

No. It supplies no channels and no content of its own. You add your own Xtream or M3U playlist. What you can watch, and how good it looks, comes from that playlist — not from the app.

Can I use more than one playlist?

Yes. Add as many as you like, switch between them, and see favourites from all of them together. Each can have its own name, colour and icon.

Which devices are supported?

Android TV and Google TV boxes and televisions, Amazon Fire TV and Firestick, Android phones and tablets, Windows 10 and 11 PCs, and Macs with macOS 11 or later (Apple silicon or Intel).

How does the trial work?

Seven days, starting when you first open the app. No card is needed to begin.

What is in the Free Hub?

Curated free material that needs no playlist: internet radio, podcasts, audiobooks, news, live cameras, documentaries, sports results and highlights, game shows, weather, trivia and more. It is included with the app, keeps working after a trial ends, and is not a paid channel service.

Can it tell me when a new episode is out?

Yes. Open a series and press Notify me. When a new episode arrives, the bell shows it on every linked TV. It works with Xtream playlists, follows up to 50 shows, and checks twice a day or when you press Check now. It's in the Android TV, Fire TV and phone app; the Windows and Mac apps don't have it yet.

Can I record?

Yes. Record what you're watching, book a programme up to 13 days ahead, or set a repeat for every day, weekdays, weekends or the days you choose. Recordings go to the device's own storage or a USB drive; network storage isn't supported. On Android boxes that stay powered, scheduled recordings run with the TV off, and the app can test your TV for you. Recordings tidy themselves away after 10 days unless you keep them. Recording two channels at once depends on how many connections your provider allows.

Can I set it up from my phone?

Yes. Scan the QR code on your TV, or sign in at cobratvnz.com/account with the MAC Address and Device Key. Add playlists, hide, pin, favourite, group and reorder channels, follow shows and send a TMDB key. Channel changes reach your TVs within about a minute.

How do updates work?

On Android TV, Fire TV and phones, CobraTV tells you when an update is ready and installs it from inside the app. The Windows app updates itself. On a Mac, download it again and choose Replace.

How do annual and lifetime licences differ?

An annual licence renews each year for the number of devices you choose. A lifetime licence is a single payment with no renewal, and a limited number are available.

Does licensing more devices give me more simultaneous streams?

No — and this catches people out. Your licence says how many devices may run CobraTV Pro. How many streams you can watch at the same time is set by your playlist provider. If they allow one connection, one is what you get, whatever the app is licensed for.

Still not sure? Ask us a question — a real person reads it — or join our Discord. Weighing it up against TiviMate? Here's an honest comparison.
