Frequently asked questions

Does Filoteca include any channels or content?

Only a public selection: free-to-air channels from public lists and a collection of public-domain classic cinema, hosted by third parties. It does not include subscriptions or paid services: everything else you add yourself with your own sources and content you are authorised to access.

Which devices can I install Filoteca on?

On Android TV, Fire TV, Android phones and tablets, and Windows 10 or 11 PCs. On Android you download the app from this page (APK file) and install it; it is not on Google Play. Requires Android 7.0 or later (on Fire TV, Fire OS 6 or later).

What is the difference between the free version and Premium?

The free version has no limit on public channels by country or on classic cinema; with your own sources you can watch 5 channels, 2 movies and 2 series for free (they count after you watch for a while, and stay yours). Premium removes those limits.

Is it a subscription?

No. It is a one-time payment for a licence key that works on up to 3 of your devices. If you change TV, you free one from Settings → Licence.

Where does my content play from?

Directly from the sources you configure. Filoteca does not provide playlists or subscriptions to third-party services.

How do I add my sources?

Install the app, open source settings and add the details of your compatible service or library.

Does it work on my Samsung, LG or other-brand TV?

There is currently no app for Samsung (Tizen), LG (webOS), Roku or Apple TV. If your TV is not Android TV or Google TV, plug in a Fire TV Stick, a Chromecast with Google TV or an Android box (from around €30) and use it from there.

What does my TV or device need to run well?

Android 7.0 or later (Fire OS 6 on Fire TV) and, ideally, 2 GB of memory or more. H.264 video works on any model; HEVC or 4K depend on the device. Dolby and DTS audio is processed in software, so very modest devices may struggle. To use the phone as a remote or “Watch on…”, everything must be on the same network.
