What it does

Search your way

Type or speak your search, browse categories and trending shows, or find every episode a host or guest appears in.

Audio and video

Play audio and video podcasts and pick up right where you left off.

Chapters with artwork

Artwork and titles change with each chapter as you listen, and the chapter list shows each chapter's art so you can jump around.

Transcripts

Show or hide the transcript, shown line by line in time with the audio.

Live shows and podrolls

Tune in to podcasts that are live right now, and discover shows your favorites recommend.

Show websites

Scan a QR code to open a show's or episode's website on your phone, straight from your TV.

Play queue

Line up episodes with Play next or Add to queue, and the next one starts when the current one ends. Reorder or remove them on the Queue page.

Keep listening while you browse

Audio keeps playing when you leave Now Playing, with a now-playing bar on every screen. Play/Pause, Rewind and Fast-forward work from anywhere.

Your remote, your way

In Settings, choose whether Rewind and Fast-forward jump between chapters or between episodes in your queue.

Find any episode

Find an episode by title or number, pick a date to jump to, or sort a show newest or oldest first.

Filter Trending and Live

Narrow Trending and Live Now by category, or show only the podcasts you follow.

Sort your shows

Sort your podcasts by name, date added, or newest episode with the on-screen Sort button.

Bring your podcasts

Moving from another app? Export your subscriptions as OPML and import them from your phone or computer in a minute.

Private sync

Your subscriptions sync across your TVs with a five-word passphrase. No email, no password, and your list is encrypted so only you can read it.

How to get it

PodPlayer TV is coming soon to the Roku Channel Store, the Amazon Appstore for Fire TV, Google Play for Google TV and Android TV, and the Samsung and LG TV app stores.

On your TV, open its app store (on Roku, Streaming Store) or search from the home screen.
Search for PodPlayer TV and add or install it.
Open it and start listening. Your account is created for you automatically, with nothing to sign up for.
To use the same list on another TV (any brand), go to Settings there and type your five-word passphrase (the first three letters of each word are enough).

Your privacy

PodPlayer TV doesn't ask for your name, email, or any account details. Your subscription list is encrypted on your TV with your passphrase before it's saved, so the server only stores data it can't read. The passphrase itself never leaves your TV. Podcast searches pass through our server to the Podcast Index so the API key stays private, and we don't save them or link them to your account. Delete your account any time from Settings.

Keep PodPlayer TV free

PodPlayer TV has no ads, no subscriptions, and doesn't sell your data. It's built and run by one developer, and donations pay for the server and future features.
