TiviGlass documentation · Obsidaby · Updated
TiviGlass is an independently developed TV player from Obsidaby, Jamie Parnaby's UK sole-trader studio. It organises the live channels, programme guides and on-demand media supplied by sources you are authorised to use. TiviGlass does not sell television channels or include a TV subscription.
What we build
The Android TV application is designed around a remote control: a programme grid, channel and group controls, movies and shows, recordings, profiles and playback settings. Compatible devices include Android-based Fire OS, Google TV and Android TV devices. The Android APK does not run on Amazon Vega OS, Samsung Tizen or LG webOS. See the download page and Fire TV installation guide before installing.
TiviGlass connects to Xtream Codes APIs, Stalker / Ministra portals and M3U playlists, with guide data from the service or XMLTV. Availability and quality of channels, catch-up and programme listings depend on your source. Paying for TiviGlass upgrades the player; it does not renew or replace a separate provider subscription.
Who maintains this website
Obsidaby publishes the product documentation and is responsible for corrections. The user guide describes the app's screens and settings. The Learn articles work through specific tasks and troubleshooting examples. Their update dates refer to content changes, not a promise that every device or provider was tested on that date.
Examples labelled fictional use invented channel names and non-working addresses. They demonstrate a file format or a diagnostic process without distributing someone else's programme footage or exposing a customer's credentials. If an instruction differs from your app, include the app version and the page address when reporting it.
Accounts, privacy and funding
You can start as a guest. Account features, plan entitlements and sync settings determine what is available across your TVs. Review the privacy policy for the data processed by the app, website, support and account services; use Account, plans and sync for the controls.
Optional paid plans support development, hosting and support; the pricing page lists current prices and features. Selected substantial tutorials and manual chapters may display labelled Google advertising when ad serving is approved and enabled. Account, payment, support, download, legal and playlist-editor pages remain ad-free.
The reseller programme
The reseller programme provides tools for installers and businesses managing TiviGlass accounts and player access. It is not a marketplace for TV subscriptions. The reseller portal and the ordinary household account portal serve different users; neither changes the requirement to obtain content lawfully.
Contact and corrections
For product help, follow the support instructions. For website corrections, privacy enquiries or business contact, email admin@obsidaby.com. Include the page address and what needs correcting. Never send passwords or full provider URLs in a public message.
Published release notes are available in What's new. The terms and refund policy explain the applicable conditions for using and purchasing TiviGlass.
