  • Kodi for my movie/tv library (i use Arctic Zephyr for the skin, looks 100x better than Netflix or Amazon ever will)
  • SmartTubeNext for ad-free youtube thats more well optimized and intuitive than the default app
  • VLC to run anything that Kodi can't
  • X-Plore file manager
  • Twitch
  • Steam Link

-Kuro or Saikou for Anime only.

-Cloudstream for any type of content.
Movies,shows, Anime, Live Tv, Sports, Multi
Language, Spicy stuff.

-Stremio for movies and shows. I use it as a
back up just in case.

-Apktime to easily download a lot of useful Apps
For Tools, Live Tv apps, Specific Sports Apps,
Smart Tube.

  • Send and Recieve makes side loading Apps
    super easy.

-TV Internet Browser for a good tv browser.

-Xplore or File Manager to either find or organize
your files and compress them or do whatever u
want.

-MATv Mouse toggle if a certain app needs a mouse to get around with. But if you’re running
Android 12 you’ll need TVQuickactions Pro for
the mouse since the update changed things. If
u need it I’ll send it your way. It has a lot of
customizable features. Really cool.

Yeah Kodi and your IPTV service that's pretty much all I use I have a VPN and YouTube and Tubi that's about it

Lemuroid is excellent on Android TV. I usually just stick to the usual 2D platforms though.

Leave it to me to ask the dumb questions. Very few to none of the apps people have been suggesting appear to be in the store. Do these need to be side loaded somehow?

I just use Plex, smarttube and web video caster..

phaTTjohn

Kodi for local media and the Crew for the rest ;)

anaslinux

Cinemana app ( app origined in Iraq that serve only the the internet subscribers of earthlinktele ISP) serving all the pirated series and movies

reskue95

Tivimate with a decent iptv service. For live TV. Plex (plexshare) for shows and movies. Kuro for anime.

I'd love to see threads with these lists separated out into "Free and Legal", "Paid and Legal", and "Piracy Apps".

Apktime is your friend

NHS2008

Tivimate for IPTV. Kodinerds nexus 20 rc2 for streaming media off my SMB shares(This version is preferred to the one over the one in playstore, as this one supports Dolby Vision). Xplore for file management.

rextoba

Newer app. Free, Android only right now but TV version and IOS coming soon. It is castable.

Feeloftheweek

X-Plore (file managing, plus sideloading apks),
Aurora Store (using stable; make sure you spoof the device so it won't only show ATV apps),
SideApps (accessing apps that don't appear in the "app drawer" or whatever it is called; Using an alt launcher probably would be way better, but if it werks...)
SmartTubeNext,
Xbox Game Pass (installed via Aurora; gotta use the GPU subscription to its fullest, i guess)

IMAD_XPS

Tivimate, prime, apple TV plus, Crunchyroll, Netflix, Nord vpn, kodi

eXeToR
supernumm
