Which TV platforms does Tappla support?

Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV and Android TV: what Tappla supports today, and what it does not (Samsung, LG, YouTube, in-app purchases, ad insertion).

Written by Robert Blessing

Platforms Tappla supports (current as of June 2026)

  • Apple TV — native tvOS app, submitted through your own Apple Developer account.

  • Roku — native Roku SDK channel. Roku discontinued Direct Publisher in January 2024, so Tappla builds native SDK channels instead.

  • Fire TV and Android TV — native app.

  • Web — a web app version of your channel.

What we do not support

  • Samsung (Tizen) and LG (webOS) TVs.

  • YouTube as a video source. Tappla connects to Vimeo, Bunny Stream, Viloud, HLS streams, a CDN or a JSON feed.

  • Purchases inside the TV app, and ad insertion. Tappla does not collect payments. If you sell access, you sell it on your own website with your own checkout and Tappla unlocks the members-only content in your apps. This works on Apple TV, Fire TV and Android TV; Roku requires paid content to run through Roku Pay. See Members-only content.

If you are wondering whether your specific device or setup is supported, ask us in the chat and we will tell you honestly.
