SluiceBox
Google TV + Android TV
Your channels. Your guide. Your screen.
A fast, remote-first media player that turns your own legal provider or playlist into a polished live TV, movie, and series experience.
Player only. SluiceBox does not provide channels, movies, series, playlists, or media subscriptions.
One player, your setup
SluiceBox connects to a user-supplied Xtream-compatible source, M3U/XMLTV URL, or local M3U file. It organizes the data supplied by that source into a responsive television experience designed around a remote, not a touchscreen.
Designed for everyday viewing
Move between live TV, VOD, settings, DVR, and search without losing the television-first flow.
Live TV
Browse channels and programs, jump by letter, manage favorites and custom groups, search, set reminders, and open action menus without leaving the EPG.
TV-first from the first click
Open Live TV, movies, series, DVR, or settings with large remote-friendly targets. Themes that use the guide as home can skip the separate home screen entirely.
Free edition
A complete starting point for live television using one user-supplied source, with a clean guide and the essential controls.
SluiceBox Lite
A focused live TV player for one source, with the essentials needed to watch and organize channels.
Full-screen playback
Open a channel into a clean full-screen player with current program details and remote-first controls close at hand.
Optional Premium themes
Select any optional theme to see its real layout, motion, description, and one-time price. Every theme keeps the familiar SluiceBox controls.
Included with The Other Mates
Theme packs change backgrounds, loading artwork, panels, focus colors, borders, and surfaces while keeping The Other Mates layout and controls intact.
Many more theme packs are available, with new collections and styles continually being created and added.
Premium capabilities
SluiceBox connects viewing, organization, playback, and protection tools in one TV interface.
Browse rails, sort collections, search, build My List, resume titles, and move directly from a series to its episodes.
Schedule supported recordings, manage local storage, play recordings in the guide, and receive program reminders.
Keep another channel visible with picture-in-picture or monitor multiple live streams where the source and connection allow it.
Search live channels, programs, movies, series, and episodes using text or supported voice input.
Create encrypted local or USB backups, or authorize Google Drive to sync supported app data across devices.
Optional Auto VPN Detection can stop playback when a VPN disconnects, while provider-specific playback handling improves compatibility.
