Stream Player

# Stream Player

Stream Player is a lightweight live streaming player with support starting from Android 4.4, designed to run smoothly on both older low-spec devices and modern Android systems.

Most modern players focus heavily on adding more features, which often increases hardware requirements and system overhead. As a result, many older TV boxes become slow, laggy, or even unable to install them at all.

Stream Player takes a different approach. By removing unnecessary features and keeping the app lightweight and efficient, it delivers a smooth live streaming experience across a wide range of devices — from older Android TV boxes to newer high-performance hardware.

## Key Features

### Lightweight & Ad-Free

No EPG, no ads, no account system, and no unnecessary background services. Just a clean and efficient player focused on performance and stability.

### Powerful Playback Engine

Built on the stable legacy-compatible branch of ExoPlayer 2.19.1, with Jellyfin-maintained FFmpeg extensions for broader codec support and improved compatibility with complex streaming formats.

### Optimized for TV and Mobile

#### TV Box Mode

Fully supports remote control navigation, channel switching with number keys, and MENU-key settings access for a familiar TV-style experience.

#### Touch Mode for Phones

Dedicated mobile UI with touch controls, swipe gestures, quick channel switching, and slide-out channel lists.

### Smart Source Switching & Silent Updates

Automatically switches to backup streams when playback fails. Channel sources are also checked and updated silently in the background during startup.

## System Requirements

* Android 4.4 (API 19) or higher

* Low system resource usage

* Compatible with older Amlogic-based TV boxes as well as modern Android devices

## About the Project

Stream Player is independently developed by a programming and networking enthusiast who believes older devices still deserve a smooth streaming experience.

Enjoy live streaming the simple way — fast, clean, and distraction-free.
