Installing ZXInfoTV

As for now there's no official approved way to embed and play YouTube videos on AppleTV. This app uses XCDYouTubeKit as the YouTube player, and as it is known to violate the YouTube TOS - use at your own risk! Because of the use of XCDYouTubeKit, this app will not be available in the AppStore - until an official solution has been provided (by Google I assume).

For now the only way to install ZXInfoTV on your AppleTV - requires the knowledge of how to use and build apps using Xcode.

  • Get source from this repository
  • Setup dependencies using pod install
  • Open code in Xcode - remember to use open ZXInfoTV.xcworkspace
  • Build code in Xcode for your device

Requirements

  • macOS 10.13.6+ on a Mac
  • Xcode 10+
  • tvOS 10+ SDKs
  • Free Apple Developer Account (at a minimum)
  • Cocoapods
