Highlights & Features

TV Mode (Lean-Back Watching)

  • Live Broadcast Simulation: Plays a synchronized 24-hour TV schedule curated from your channels, prioritizing videos uploaded around this time in past years for a seasonal broadcast feel.
  • Retro CRT Remote & Guide: Flip channels, open an interactive on-screen TV guide, and dial specific channel numbers.
  • Smart Skip: Automatically skips unplayable, region-blocked, or private videos so your broadcast never halts.

Table Mode (Instant Custom Playlists)

  • Dynamic Video Feed: Browse up to 5,000 recent videos from your subscribed creators and synced YouTube playlists.
  • Multi-Column Sorting: Click any column header (Duration, Upload Date, Channel, or Title) to instantly sort. You can sort by two columns sequentially (e.g., sort by Channel, then by Duration) to organize your feed.
  • Quick Play & Continuous Queuing: Click the left 1/3 of a video row to play that single video. Click the middle 1/3 to play all videos below it in an auto-playing playlist, which automatically queues by total duration, adjusts for playback speed, and skips already-watched videos.

100% Private & Self-Curated

  • Your Own Station: You control what you watch. Add your favorite channels, create thematic TV stations (e.g., Cooking, Tech, Cartoons, Documentaries), and share channel lineups with friends.
  • Complete Privacy: MRD TV runs through your personal Google account. Video fetching uses your own free daily YouTube API quota (10,000 units/day) directly from Google with no third-party tracking, profiling, or shared rate limits.
