Features of the distributed Open Beta, plus provider and device limitations. The clearly marked Beta-30 section describes the next prepared source build; those additions are pending publication and are not yet available to testers.
These additions are implemented in the next beta's source and await final validation and publication. The distributed baseline remains Beta-29 / Build 83.
Live TV opens Guide at the playing channel's actual category and row. Favorites browsing, duplicate-channel identity and newer navigation requests retain their own state.
After Local Network Sync copies paired-TV configuration, imported playlists automatically prepare their initial EPG, independently of preferences for later refreshes. Catalogs and EPG are fetched locally from your sources; their databases are not copied between TVs.
4K/UHD badges use complete provider video dimensions: 3840–4096 by 2160. A title, bitrate or poster alone is insufficient. One UHD episode does not label an entire series.
Optional focused-card trailer previews are off by default. Only already-known direct HTTP(S) media is eligible; YouTube trailers keep their manual/external flow. Cached metadata, focus and lifecycle guards limit resource use and respect playback/Multi-View.
Safer secure-store startup and retry, credential migration, SMB saves, account-validated rollback, and backup scheduling/status ownership. Secure storage fails closed without plaintext fallback. Keep the original encryption password separately from the backup.
Native Google Drive is an unconfigured, unavailable Preview. General-use cloud backup/recovery and first-run Drive recovery remain unavailable. Use Local/SMB portable recovery.
Global User-Agent presets/custom settings apply to subsequent IPTV requests; explicit request overrides and MAG/Stalker protocol headers retain precedence. Manage Playlists cards use more of each row.
Recent Web Admin changes clarify activity and unverified Pending accounts. Abandoned-signup cleanup uses protected age/Auth checks. Website/backend delivery is separate from the Android build.

PureFusionIPTV connects to the source formats IPTV player apps normally use. Provider behaviour varies with what each server actually exposes, so some source-specific features depend on your provider rather than on the app.
MAG / STB Portal compatibility is improved, including IPTVEditor, but providers frequently customize portals, so support is not guaranteed on every server. Stalker API is a separate source type. See Limitations.
Live TV is the primary focus of the app, and the part built most deliberately around a television remote.
Browse by category or group, with Favorites, Recent Channels and a Last Channel jump. Individual channels can be hidden, and groups can be shown or hidden, so a bloated provider list can be cut down to what you actually watch.
FastZap pre-buffers through a pooled player so channel changes do not wait for a cold start. Channel Up/Down can either Instant zap — change channel immediately — or Preview first, which shows the next or previous channel without interrupting what is playing until you press OK.
An overlay strip for switching channels without leaving playback, showing channel logos, the current program, what is on next, and program progress. Recent channels can be removed individually or cleared, and the list length and how long a channel must play before it counts as recent are both configurable.
Providers that list the same channel as SD, HD, FHD and 4K entries can be collapsed into a single channel, with the best available variant selected for you. It can be turned off if you would rather see every provider entry separately.
Choose what happens on launch: auto-play the last channel, return to the last used section, or open straight into Live TV, Movies, Shows, My List or Search.
After browsing, the app can return to fullscreen Live TV once you have been idle, with a configurable timeout. There is also an exit confirmation so a stray Back press does not close the app.
A stream can be handed off to an external player app when you would rather use one for a particular source.
System PiP and MultiView are both available where the device and your provider can support them — see MultiView & PiP.
The fullscreen Actions Bar is built around D-pad navigation rather than a mouse-driven menu, so focus stays where a remote user expects it.
The bar leads with the eight things reached most often:
The Tracks and More popups share the bar's inactivity session, so navigating inside a popup keeps the bar open instead of letting it expire underneath you, and closing the bar closes them with it. Back returns you to the button you opened it from.
A clock can be shown during fullscreen playback and toggled straight from the Actions Bar. It follows your device's configured time, its 12-hour or 24-hour setting, and its time zone, and updates immediately when any of those change. It hides itself while the Guide, menus, popups or dialogs are open, and returns when plain fullscreen playback resumes.
This is separate from the date and time shown in the Channel Bar's channel information — the fullscreen clock is its own overlay, with its own on/off setting.
Both a quick preview Guide and a full-screen grid Guide, driven by your own XMLTV or provider EPG data.
A full-screen EPG grid plus a preview / Half Guide for checking what is on without leaving playback. Current programs are highlighted, progress is shown, and a current-time indicator marks where you are in the timeline.
Program titles, descriptions and durations where the source supplies them, with catch-up and archive indicators on programs your provider can actually serve. Full Program Info in Channel Actions (hold OK) opens Program Details on every remote — INFO is an optional shortcut. It shows artwork, progress for what is on now, and actions: Watch Live, recording, and — when the programme is also in your Movies or Shows library — Start From Beginning or open its details.
The floating details panel sizes itself to what it is showing: compact for a short description, larger for a long one, up to the safe limits of your screen. A complete provider description is shown whenever it physically fits, and resizing the panel never shifts the Guide rows underneath it.
Scrolling down a large category reaches its true last channel the first time. Previously a long category could stop short, with the remainder appearing only after switching away to another category and back.
Move the Guide into later time windows and the EPG data those windows need is loaded as you go, rather than leaving them blank.
Switch the Guide between playlists, browse by category or group, or view a Favorites Guide. Playlist sections can auto-expand, and channel numbers can be shown or hidden.
XMLTV sources, more than one at a time, with scheduled updates, a first-run bootstrap so the Guide fills in on day one, and visible source status and progress while it works. Refreshing one playlist updates only that playlist’s linked guide. Update EPG and the scheduled sync still cover every eligible source.
Provider EPG matching links playlist channels to guide data, with identity recovery for channels whose provider IDs change between playlist refreshes.
Schedule a reminder on any Guide program, with a configurable lead time, an optional countdown, and optional automatic switching when the program starts. Reminders survive an app restart and travel in backups and Local Network Sync.
Row density, background style, and text colour presets are all adjustable — see Customization.
For providers that supply video on demand, Movies and TV Shows each get their own browsing and playback flow. Movies and Series access is a Premium feature, and what exists to browse is entirely up to your provider.
Movie and series availability, artwork, plots, cast lists and trailers all come from your provider's catalog. PureFusionIPTV displays and enriches what the provider returns; it does not supply the catalog.
Audio-only streams in your playlist get their own browsing experience rather than being mixed in with television channels.
Online subtitle lookup is deliberately never triggered for radio.
The Tracks button exposes the tracks a stream actually carries, rather than a guess at what it should carry.
Entries are grouped under headings so a long list stays scannable:
OpenSubtitles lookup is for Movies and Series only. It is deliberately never used for Live TV, FastZap or radio — changing channel does not fire an online subtitle search.
Playback runs on AndroidX Media3 (ExoPlayer), with considerably more control and more recovery behaviour than a basic IPTV player.
PureFusionIPTV tries to recover from common IPTV failures instead of dropping you out of playback. Recovery covers situations such as:
Recovery can be switched off in Settings when you are troubleshooting a provider and want to see the raw failure.
Many live IPTV streams are progressive MPEG-TS feeds whose provider reports a content length, which makes the stream look like a finite file that is playing past its own end. Media3's finite-media “playing past end” detector treated that as a stuck player and raised a playback error roughly a minute in, on streams that were playing perfectly.
Live playback is now excluded from that specific detector, while Movies, Series, recordings and catch-up — which really are finite — keep it. Every other stuck-playback safeguard is unchanged on every stream.
This addresses one specific false-positive. It does not claim that every provider-side stream ending is eliminated — a provider that genuinely drops a stream still ends it, and normal recovery handles that.
Background work no longer competes with the picture. An automatic Guide update that had already started could keep writing to the database throughout a buffering episode; it now stops at a safe point as soon as playback is starved and continues the same update from where it left off once playback is steady. Nothing is re-downloaded and no progress is lost. The same cooperation applies to the database upkeep that runs shortly after launch, which already stepped aside for on-screen activity and now steps aside for a buffering channel too.
Adaptive buffering recovery also takes effect properly. When a channel rebuffers repeatedly early in a session, PureFusionIPTV decides to move that channel to a larger, steadier buffer — but that decision used to be discarded if the picture happened to be running at the instant the switch was due, leaving the channel on the setting it had already been judged unsuitable for. The decision now survives and is genuinely applied.
Buffering always wins: there is no time limit after which a background update resumes regardless of what playback is doing.
Loud commercial breaks can be levelled automatically. Detection is loudness-based and works during playback rather than relying on commercial markers the provider may never send.
Catch-up plays a program that has already aired, where your provider keeps an archive and describes it in a way the app can verify.
PureFusionIPTV has its own recording system, with local or network storage. Recording is a Premium feature.
Provider connection limits still apply. If your provider allows one connection, recording one stream while watching another is not something the app can create extra connections for.
Watch more than one stream at once, where your hardware and provider allow it. MultiView is a Premium feature.
A provider that permits one connection cannot serve four MultiView tiles, and no player can change that.
Search does more than match a channel name exactly.
Advanced metadata-aware search is a Premium feature.
Voice uses Android's own recognition, so it needs a microphone-capable remote or device.
The interface is not locked to one look.
PureFusionIPTV is a TV-first app. It is not a phone interface stretched onto a television — focus order, Back behaviour and overlay lifecycles are designed around a D-pad.
Per-key remote remapping — assigning your own actions to individual D-pad, media or coloured buttons — is not a current feature. Those controls exist in the codebase but have no runtime behind them yet, so they are hidden rather than shown as working options. Direct numeric channel entry is likewise not currently implemented.
Multiple household profiles, with a Kids Mode and a PIN. This section is deliberately specific about which parental controls are enforced today.
Enforced today:
Not enforced yet. An adult-channel filter, Movies and Series PIN gates, blocked-category lists, age-rating and unrated-content restrictions, viewing-time windows, and PIN gates on playlist or EPG management are all not currently active. Those controls are hidden in Settings rather than shown as working, so nobody relies on a restriction the app is not applying. Parental controls are a Premium feature.
A portable backup format for moving your setup, and a device-to-device sync for keeping several televisions consistent.
Guide program data is large and is omitted by default. Recorded video files are never copied into a portable backup — your recordings stay at their local or SMB destination.
Two PureFusionIPTV devices on the same network can synchronize user and configuration state, so a second television does not have to be rebuilt by hand. Synchronized domains include:
Sync moves portable user state, not a byte-for-byte clone of an installation. Raw channel catalogs, EPG databases and snapshots, recorded video, recording scheduler state, device identity, pairing and session information, and device-specific secrets all stay local to each device. Cross-device sync is a Premium feature.
Native Google Drive backup is a Preview implementation that is not configured for general use. Connection, cloud backup and first-run Drive recovery are unavailable in this beta. Local and SMB / NAS backup and restore remain available.
For recovery after reinstall, keep a surviving portable backup outside the app and retain its original encryption password separately. Your app or Google account cannot recover that password. Local Network Sync copies configuration between paired TVs; Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive playlist synchronization is not available.
Start a small web interface from the app and manage it from a normal browser on another device on the same network, instead of typing everything with a TV remote.
Web Admin is not Internet-facing remote administration. It is deliberately a local-network tool that you start when you need it and that closes itself when you are done.
Troubleshooting is a first-class part of the app, because most IPTV problems are provider-specific or device-specific and cannot be reproduced anywhere else.
Open it from Live TV Actions Bar › More › Stats for nerds. It draws in the upper-left corner over video, refreshes about once a second, and hides itself behind the Guide, menus and dialogs. It is a read-only display: it records nothing and does not alter playback.
Fields are shown when the information is actually available, and omitted when it is not.
Beta 21 added a playback-diagnosis block: engine state, buffer depth and positions, rebuffer count and duration, link estimate, how long it has been since data last arrived, bitrate, load errors, the stream host (sanitized), the active buffer profile, recovery state, and what background Guide work is doing right now. It is scoped to the player actually on screen, so a background pre-buffer’s rebuffers never appear in it.
Display and output rows are shown when Android and the device expose them, and are not guaranteed on every device. Older Android versions expose less, and some devices expose nothing at all — in which case the row is simply absent.
Nothing that identifies your television is read. The display descriptor is consulted only for how the panel is attached; manufacturer, model, product name, year and serial are never read, stored or shown.
From the TV, open Settings › Features & Tools › Support & Diagnostics.
Beta 19 significantly expands what a future crash report contains — particularly what was playing and what was decoding at the moment of a native death. This is richer diagnostics, not a fix. The intermittent native playback problem reported on the onn 4K Pro is still under investigation and is not claimed fixed.
In-app account creation requires the Google Play build. On other installs, create the account on this website and sign in normally. Purchases are handled by Google Play — PureFusionIPTV does not sell IPTV service.
Free
Premium and Lifetime
Lifetime is the same feature level as Premium, bought once instead of subscribed. Pricing is shown by Google Play and may vary by country and account — see the pricing section for the current tiers.
PureFusionIPTV can only use what your Android device and your provider actually expose. None of the following should be assumed to work on every installation.
This is as important as the feature list.
The full public release is planned for January 6, 2027.
Everything in this section is not a current feature. It is listed so the plugin architecture in the app is not mistaken for shipped functionality. None of it is a promise, and no dates are attached.
Features are added when they are ready, not when a placeholder exists.
Open Beta through Google Play Open Testing. Google rolls each build out gradually, so build 83 may reach testers at different times. Android TV and Google TV focused, with Android phone and tablet support and a phone companion experience. Full public release planned for January 6, 2027.
