WebViewTvLive: TV Live Streaming App Built with Tencent X5 WebView
WebViewTvLive: TV Live Streaming App Built with Tencent X5 WebViewIntroduction
WebView TV (WebViewTvLive) is a TV live streaming app developed by GitHub user hxh19950701. Its main function is to directly load official live streaming pages from CCTV, satellite TV, and other channels through the Tencent X5 WebView, allowing users to open the page with one click to watch live TV.
Main Features of WebView TV
Automatically updates the channel list (by default from GitHub, can be switched to Gitee mirror).
Multi-source backup: up to 3 lines per channel, automatically switches source or refreshes on errors.
Customizable settings: choose whether to enable X5 kernel, adjust channel-switching direction for up/down keys, set timeout in seconds, etc.
Supports phones, tablets, and TVs; use remote up/down keys to switch channels, left/right keys to adjust volume.
Manually add m3u8 direct links or webpage URLs (add custom sources in settings).
Does not support direct number-key channel jumping, replay, or EPG program guide.
Project Features of WebView TV
Advantages: Uses official live streaming links, stable and reliable; compatible with m3u8 links.
Disadvantages: Based on WebView, requires relatively high device performance; loading channels takes time; cannot select video resolution, frame rate is mostly 24FPS; due to copyright restrictions, some programs may not be playable at certain times.
Installation and Running of WebView TV
Supports Android 5.0 and above, Android 9+ recommended, with more than 1GB of RAM.
Copy the APK to a USB drive, plug it into the TV box, and click install in the file manager.
If it gets stuck on a white screen or fails to display full screen on first launch, go to settings and manually install the X5 kernel, then restart the app.
If the channel list is empty, switch to the Gitee proxy mirror or enable a proxy and then refresh.

If you want a simple way to watch CCTV and satellite TV live streams without fussing with sources, WebViewTvLive is currently the most hassle-free and clean solution — just install the X5 kernel and keep your network unobstructed.
However, the author mentioned that due to limitations in the open-source environment, the WebView TV project has been suspended from open source. The last open-source version is 1.6, and the source code is only for study and exchange. Repackaged applications are limited to personal use or modest sharing with the original app name credited, and must not be used for profit.
