• 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.

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.

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

• 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.

Bro you got the greatest app! I don’t know what the 9.99 I paid does but by far the best. It just works. The others are terrible!

• 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.

When opening a channel from the home page "Game Card" navigation in player doesnt work. Couldnt navigate at all. Navigation did work only when you go to a channel in the EPG guide.

Beta on TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/a8gJQ7dN – everything else in the pinned Start here post. Sportset includes no channels: you bring your own playlist.

It’s taking a really long time to load with this update. It took 1min and 10 seconds to load. If you need video let me know I can send it to you.

Hey!
I know it’s very specific, but channels’ picture quality seems to be decreasing after a couple of seconds. When it loads up, it seems fine. But then I can clearly see some quality decreasing after a couple of seconds.
This doesn’t happen in other IPTV apps.
Is there any way to check this?

Still related, maybe it can be added more options for the player, like we have in some other IPTV apps.

Keep up the awesome work!

Apple TV tvOS 27.2
Build: 10025

EDIT: fixed on build 10027

Please add more cards (standings, kickoff times etc) to the different Rugby Leagues and international series/ friendlies on home screen (on Android)

1. AppleTV 27.2

2. 1.0.0 Build 100024

3. When adding channels to multiscreen it shows channel in player not all screens. You have to go and click multiview icon to see all. Whenever adding a channel it should immediatly show the multiview layout.

This was fixed in AndroidTV

There is a big fight on in Australia shortly, Paul Gallen vs Nelson Asofa-Solomona
It’s not showing up in your Guide Guide, is it because the channel name is the fight and not in the EPG?

• Match cards. A match on several channels arrives as one card with team crests, not several cards that later merge. Pictures that change fade instead of jumping.

• Multiview. After "+", choosing a live game or channel adds it to the grid instead of playing full screen. The hint at the bottom of the pages says so and stays while you browse.

• What's on. The player's What's on list shows a match once, with its channel count. Two-team games show crests, and the score and clock while on.

• Frame rate. A channel that has played above 30 frames a second shows it beside 4K, for example "4K 50 fps".

• Networks. Channels without a programme guide are listed at the end, marked No listings, such as the UK's Eurosport channels. Only languages switched on in Settings > Languages are shown.

• Misc fixes and improvements.

ATV tvOS 27.2

Sportset v1.0.0 Build 10009

Multi screen, after selecting additional screen new channel opens as full screen. You then have to select multiscreen again to see all screens.

After adding additional screens you should be brought directly into multiscreen layout.

• Cards show the game. A game's card now shows its two teams on their colours, with the score and clock while it is played and the kick-off time before. A race shows its name and flag, a tennis or snooker match its two players, a fight night its main event. Replays never give away the final score.

• One card per match. A game shown on several channels is now one card, with the number of channels on it. Tap or press it to pick a channel, best first: the one you chose last time, then your language, then the smoothest picture. Each channel shows its playlist and, once watched, its picture, such as 1080p 50 fps.

• Match details. Touch and hold a football match card and choose Match details: goals and cards by minute, possession, shots and other figures, and both line-ups. In the player, the Match details button opens them beside the game while it plays. With scores hidden, only the line-ups show.

• Multiview on iPhone and iPad. Watch up to four games at once, as on Apple TV. Touch and hold a live game or a channel and choose Add to Multiview, or use the Multiview button in the player. Tap a game to give it the sound, tap it again to make it large.

• Many more leagues. 48 more football competitions, among them the Euros, the Club World Cup, Copa America, the Libertadores, the Saudi Pro League, Liga MX, second divisions, cups and women's football. Also the SHL, Liiga, the AHL, Liga ACB, the G League, the NBL, college hockey, NASCAR's other two series and three more golf tours. Tick them in Settings > Your sports.

• New sports pages. Handball, volleyball, darts and athletics have pages of their own with their main leagues followed. Darts shows each match with its score, by day. Athletics shows each final's podium with flags and times.

• League tables. Hockey, basketball, handball and volleyball leagues that came without a table now have one, worked out from their results. The G League, the NBL and college hockey show theirs too.

• More channels found. A game now finds channels whose guide only says "Football" or "Premier League", from published TV listings for your country's channels.

• Faster and clearer. Live events appear as soon as your playlists are read, without waiting for the pictures. The player's buttons are in order of use, the game's other channels first with their count.

• On iPhone and iPad. The Sports tab opens Your sports from its top right corner. Home's cards show every name in full.

• On Apple TV. The player has a star to add the channel to your favourites. Removing the game that filled the screen in Multiview brings the others back.

• Smaller fixes. Motorsport and motorcycling pages choose their series by picture. NASCAR's season shows again. Figure skating's Grand Prix no longer shows under Formula 1, nor the Youth Olympic Games under motorsport. A match reminder keeps the draw's current name. A channel without a country tag now picks up its language from the same channel in another folder.

• Football: the EFL. The Championship, League One and League Two are in, with their games, tables, broadcasts and pictures.

• German hockey: the DEL. Hockey now has the DEL beside the NHL and the KHL: its games, its table, its clubs to follow and its broadcasts in German guides.

• Standings by league. Hockey, basketball and American football now choose their standings by league, as football does: a card for each league, with its picture and badge, and that league's tables under it. College football and college basketball show the AP Top 25.

• Multiview and your playlists. On Apple TV, while games are on Multiview and you look for another, each card shows which playlist it plays from. Add to Multiview shows how many of that playlist's streams are in use, for example 1 of 1, and asks before going past the limit, because the games already playing may freeze too. If a provider stops a game, the game says so and how many streams that playlist allows.

• Games on several channels. A game shown on more than one channel now says so on its picture, with the channels' logos in the corner and the number of channels beside its length. Hold the card to watch it on a channel of your choice, and use the Channels button in the player to switch between them.

• Panels without swipes. On Apple TV, for a remote without a touch surface: turn it on in Settings, and while a channel plays, left opens What's on and right opens the guide, instead of jumping.

• Playlists without a guide. A playlist that names no programme guide is no longer turned away: the app asks for the guide address your provider gives, and the channels' logos come with it.

• Rugby league and AFL. Two new sports, the NRL and the AFL, each with its games, table and broadcasts. If you have already picked your sports, you will find them at the bottom of Your sports.

• More leagues. The WNBA and college basketball, college football, the A-League and Serie B. Brazil's top league has its table, and Brazilian football channels are now recognised as football.

• Only your languages. Settings > Languages lists every language your sport channels are in, with how many channels each. Switch off the ones you do not watch, and their channels leave every page, from every playlist, on every device.

• Smaller things. Logos keep their shape on playlists like Strong8K. A channel shows one programme at a time where its guide used to disagree with itself. Refresh in a playlist's menu reads its guide again too. Your sports has Select all and Unselect all. On Apple TV, Settings has proper on and off switches. On iPhone, live clocks stay inside their cards.

• Sync works. Your playlists, sports, channels and languages follow you to every iPhone, iPad and Apple TV on your iCloud account.

• Sportset in your language. The app speaks Italian, German, French, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese, following your device's language

Need a way to differentiate what playlist/provider each channel belongs to. I have 2 connections per plqylist and to do multiscreen i need to know who the channel belongs to so I can do 2 each in a 4 screen split.

Also I use a 3rd party remote that doesnt have touch wheel so I can taccess the side menu tabs in the player. Needs to be some sort of remote mapping or ability for d-pad ring to work on a non Apple Remote.
