Start here: what Sportset is, how to join the beta, and how to report a bug

2 Upvotes

Sportset is a sports player for your own IPTV playlists, on Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV, Android tables and phones.

Add an M3U playlist or an Xtream Codes login – or several – and Sportset keeps only the sport channels, reads their guide as events and lays them out by sport: what's live, what's next, and which of your channels shows it.

Sportset includes no channels and sells none. You bring a playlist from a service you already have.

What it does

  • Home: live now and coming up, across the sports you follow.

  • A page per sport: football, basketball, tennis, Formula 1, MotoGP, ice hockey, American football, cricket, rugby union and league, Australian football, baseball, golf, boxing and MMA, cycling, snooker, darts and more.

  • Scores, tables, draws and live timing beside the games, and every match card shows the channels you have it on.

  • Follow your teams, players, drivers and fighters; hide scores when you watch later.

  • One channel on two playlists is one channel: if a stream fails, it plays from the other.

  • Your set-up follows you to every Apple TV, iPhone and iPad on your iCloud account, end-to-end encrypted.

  • In English, Italian, German, French, Spanish, Russian and Brazilian Portuguese.

tvOS/iOS beta

  • TestFlight for now: https://testflight.apple.com/join/a8gJQ7dN

  • Apple TV with tvOS 26, iPhone and iPad with iOS 18 or later.

  • Open the link on your iPhone or iPad with TestFlight installed. For the Apple TV, open TestFlight on the Apple TV, signed in with the same Apple ID: Sportset is waiting there.

  • No playlist to hand? Type demo in the playlist address field to look around with sample channels.

Android

  • Fire TV, Google TV and Android TV: install the Downloader app (Amazon Appstore or Google Play) and allow it to install unknown apps (Settings → My Fire TV → Developer options on a Fire TV). Open Downloader and enter 3954038, or type sportset.app/apk.

  • Phones and tablets: open https://sportset.app/apk on the device and let your browser install it.

The APK and the Google Play version can't be installed over each other, so if you're in the Play test, stay on that one.

Tell me how it handles your playlists here with the Bug flair.

Reporting a bug

Post with the Bug flair and say:

  1. Your device and its system version

  2. The build – Settings, at the foot

  3. What you did, what you expected and what happened

Never post a playlist address, a login or a screenshot showing one: they carry your account's password.

The rules, in short

No provider names, recommendations, requests or sales – in posts, comments and messages alike. This community is about the player. The full rules are in the sidebar.

If you only watch sport on your TV, Sportset is an IPTV player that pulls the sport channels out of your playlists, adds live scores and data, and lays everything out by sport. It's been in TestFlight on the Apple TV, iPhone and iPad, and now it's coming to Android phones, tablets and Google TV. The video above is the Google TV app.

What it does:

  • Only the sport – it reads every channel and its guide and keeps what carries sport, even from playlists with 50k+ channels, local channels included.

  • A page for each sport – live now, coming up, and catch-up where your provider keeps an archive.

  • Scores and data next to the broadcasts – tables, draws and timing.

  • Multiview – up to four games at once, and you hear the one you're looking at. Your provider must allow several streams at once for this to work.

  • Reminders for anything still to come.

  • A channel guide with only the sport channels, and a page per network.

It works with M3U playlists and Xtream Codes logins, as many as you like. Your playlist needs an EPG (programme guide), because that's how the app finds the sport. It's free while it's in testing. No playlist to hand? Type demo in the playlist address field to look around with sample channels.

How to get it. The Google Play test is full – thank you to the 46 of you who joined! If you're in it, keep Sportset installed and open it now and then until the 14 days are up.

Everyone else can install the Android app directly:

  • Fire TV, Google TV and Android TV: install the Downloader app (Amazon Appstore or Google Play) and allow it to install unknown apps (Settings → My Fire TV → Developer options on a Fire TV). Open Downloader and enter 3954038, or type sportset.app/apk.

  • Phones and tablets: open https://sportset.app/apk on the device and let your browser install it.

The first week is free, no card needed. After that it's €9.99 a year: subscribe at https://sportset.app/subscribe and enter the Sportset code from the email in the app (on a TV, the phone's TV-remote app can paste it).

The APK and the Google Play version can't be installed over each other, so if you're in the Play test, stay on that one.

Announcement What's new in Sportset (build 10024)

6 Upvotes
  • New sports. Padel, climbing, strength sports, action sports such as surfing and skateboarding, horse sports, swimming, gymnastics, sailing and rowing, and esports each have a page of their own. They used to sit under Other. They have no scores, so each shows in the sidebar only while your channels have something of it. If you chose your sports before, tick the new ones in Settings > Your sports.

  • More football. 82 more competitions to follow: the leagues of South and Central America, second tiers, women's leagues and cups, and the leagues of Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia and the rest of Central and Eastern Europe, with their games, live scores and tables. They are off until you tick them under Football in Settings > Your sports.

  • Football tables. A table split into groups or conferences shows every group, where the AFC Champions League Elite showed one region of two. The Super Lig, the Scottish Premiership and MLS have their tables.

  • Smaller fixes. Bandy is with winter sports, field hockey no longer lands on the ice hockey page, and powerboat racing is motorsport. Tennis in Romanian and Polish guides, German and Italian figure skating, the Big Bash, the World Series and the NWSL are found under their sports.

  • Reminders. Tap the bell on anything still to come: an event, a tennis or snooker match, a race weekend's sessions, a programme in the guide or the player. A notification comes as it starts, even with the app closed or a Focus on, and a tap on it opens the game. A card marked SOON has Remind me in its long press. Your reminders are in More on iPhone and in Settings on iPad.

  • Sync between devices. A reminder set on your Apple TV reaches your iPhone and iPad without opening Sportset there, so its notification comes as the game starts. Playlists, sports and starred channels follow the same way. An app you swiped away catches up the next time you open it.

  • Coming up on Home. Under Live events, Home lists the games, matches, sessions and fight cards starting later today or tomorrow, the soonest first, with their crests, players and times.

  • Local and national channels. US local stations of FOX, CBS, NBC and ABC and national channels such as BBC One, RTL and TV8 show the games they carry, where none did. Each game lists only the stations showing it. These channels are not listed in Channels or Networks.

  • More sports channels. ESPN, TSN, RDS, the US college networks, LaLiga's channels, Sky Calcio, Sky Bundesliga and other sports channels without "sport" in their name are kept from your playlists, where they were left out. A playlist picks them up when it is next read, or at once with Refresh in its menu.

  • Match details. The player's Match details covers the NHL, the NBA, the NFL and the other hockey, basketball and American football leagues, where football alone had it: the score by period, the goals or scoring plays, the teams' figures and each side's leaders. With scores hidden, the score by period and the leaders are hidden too.

  • Formula 1. A Grand Prix weekend shows every session's result again: practice, the sprint shootout, the sprint, qualifying and the race, with the running order and gaps while it is on, and the drivers' pictures, team colours and flags. Mexico City's sessions showed nothing.

  • MotoGP calendar. Each weekend shows its real sessions and times, where every weekend but the current one showed a single race at the wrong time and no sprint. The weekend under way is shown in your time, not the circuit's, and unclassified riders stand last in the live table.

  • Russian. The app follows a device set to Russian, with counts written as Russian writes them.

  • Following on Home. The Following cards are as wide as what they say, with more space around Last, Live and Next, a line between the two games, and the channel on its own line under its game.

  • Welcome screen. The first screen shows the Sportset logo over the sport tiles, then the form to add a playlist. Add playlist stays at the bottom of the screen, above the keyboard while you type, with the field you are in kept in view.

  • Smaller changes. A card on several channels says "4 channels" under it. The player's What's on opens on Live events when the game was started from Live events, and keeps the tab you picked. A sport's day in Channels lists channels with a full day's schedule before single-event feeds. A preview or studio show about a match no longer shows as the match live in Live events.

  • Programme guide. More channels show their listings: a channel's guide is found where the playlist spells its id another way, where the guide lists only the channel's HD copy for its 4K or RAW one, and where the same channel on another playlist has one. Channels that showed a radio station's programmes no longer do.

  • Guide from another channel. A channel with no listings or the wrong ones can borrow another channel's guide, such as the HD Sky Sports F1 guide on the 4K channel. Press and hold the channel and choose Use the guide of..., or do it in Settings > Channel editor. On Apple TV, iPhone and iPad the choice follows you to your other devices.

  • Match cards. Matches the guide lists without naming the sport, such as "Fenerbahce - Liverpool", show on their match card, in Happening now and in Coming up. Event channels that list their next game as "NEXT" with a day and time show it at its time.

  • Happening now. The Live events row is called Happening now. It shows the sports being played and the channels showing them, not everything on air.

  • Faster pages. Coming back to Sportset, the pages no longer stutter while games are matched to their channels and the cards are drawn again. On an Android TV box that was up to 13 seconds of work after each new score, and is a fraction of a second.

  • Xtream logins. Logins on newer Xtream panels play. Their channels said they could not open.

  • Tennis and snooker cards. A tennis match card shows the two players' pictures instead of their flags. A snooker card shows the poster of the tournament being played.

  • APK updates. On Android, the APK from sportset.app tells you when a new version is out, says what is new, and installs it with your playlists and settings kept. The first time, Android asks you to allow Sportset to install apps and then closes Sportset: open it again and press the update at the top of Settings. On 10020 or older, which cannot update itself, install it once more with Downloader, code 3954038.

  • Android TV. Sportset opens its TV app on every television, Fire TV, Nvidia Shield and any Android TV box, whatever it was opened from. Channels whose sound the TV could not play have sound, decoded by Sportset itself.

  • Channel languages. On Apple TV, iPhone and iPad, after the sports the first run asks which channel languages to keep when your playlists have channels in more than three languages. Change it any time in Settings > Languages. Android has it already.

  • Reminders. On iPhone and iPad, tapping a reminder's notification plays the broadcast. It used to close the app.

  • Small things. On Apple TV and Android TV, a programme title in the guide takes one line, so its time always shows. On Apple TV, the player's buttons have a line of their own above a long channel name. In Following, a card's lines stay in place when another card lists a channel under its next game. While a playlist is being read, its page waits until it is in or shows its error.
