What is Nightmare TV?

Live on the Microsoft Store: https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/9PLPLGHTVB5G — one-click install with auto-updates. Product ID: 9PLPLGHTVB5G.

Nightmare TV is a premium native IPTV / live-TV player for Windows 10/11 and Android TV, built on a libmpv 2026 playback engine. Where ExoPlayer- and VLC-based competitors stutter on 4K HEVC + DTS, Nightmare delivers studio-grade decoding plus real BT.2390 HDR tone-mapping (per-frame peak detect, gamut desaturate) on both platforms. Bring-your-own-playlist: M3U / Xtream Codes / XMLTV. Player only — no content.

NEW IN v1.7.0 (June 10, 2026):

  • Smart Audio (Night mode / Dialogue boost) — libmpv "af" chain, self-disables if a stream rejects the filter.
  • Match Mode 2.0 — content-aware auto-tune from live fps + resolution + title hint. Picks Sports / Cinema / SD-revival / General HD automatically.
  • HQ Upscale picture mode — mpv ewa_lanczossharp + sigmoid, no halos. Persists across channel zaps.
  • Country grouping with flag chips above every category grid (Live / Films / Series). Auto-detects US| / [FR] / DE: / EN - / TURKISH / FRANCE / ESPANA / HINDI prefixes. Tap a flag to filter.
  • Unified smart search across all Xtream connections in parallel. Tolerant matching ("bein1" finds BeIN Sports 1, "discoveryhd" finds Discovery Channel HD).
  • Natural-language EPG search — "tonight football", "now news", "yarin aksam film" (EN/TR). Time + topic parsed offline.
  • Cloud Sync — AES-256-GCM end-to-end encrypted favorites, continue-watching and settings between Windows + Android TV. Key derived from license; servers store only ciphertext.
  • M3U dedup on load (HD/FHD/4K duplicates of the same channel collapse).
  • Provider failover on hard errors (404 / codec init / connection refused), not just stalls.
  • Audio cuts immediately when leaving a channel; ~5s playback stutter fixed; nested HLS "unsafe playlist" banner fixed.

CORE ENGINE & FEATURES:

  • libmpv 2026 native: HEVC Main10, AV1, VP9, VC-1, DTS-HD MA, EAC3, AAC, PGS subs.
  • Dolby Atmos / DTS-X / TrueHD bitstream passthrough over HDMI (WASAPI exclusive).
  • Hardware decode via D3D11VA, GPU shader cache, vd-lavc-threads=8.
  • Built-in XMLTV EPG with multi-day timeline, scheduled per-program recording.
  • Multi-view (4 streams), Picture-in-Picture, channel preset per-channel.
  • M3U Editor (non-destructive): hide/rename/regroup channels without modifying source.
  • Profiles + PIN + child mode (category lock + daily time limit).

Pricing: Gumroad (Merchant of Record). $79 lifetime (2 devices) or $5.99+/month subscription. 14-day full-feature trial, no card, no email. 14-day money-back guarantee. Sold on Gumroad, Microsoft Store, and (Android TV) GitHub Releases.

Privacy: no accounts; anonymous aggregate onboarding milestones only — no playlists, no viewing history. License delivered by email after purchase.
