Your libraries
Live TV, movies, series, and home media.
Bring your own sources together, including Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, and supported playlists.
Now available for Android TV and Fire TV
Everything you watch, finally in one TV home.
Connect the live TV, movie, series, and home-media libraries you already use. Surge Player gives each person a clean Home, personal favorites and progress, and a remote-first way to get back to what matters. It organizes your media; it never supplies a catalog.
Your household
Every profile gets its own Home.
Favorites, lists, and Continue Watching belong to the person using the profile—with an optional kid-safe Home lock.
Your remote
Built for a remote, not a mouse.
Fast rails, visible focus, useful playback controls, and a migration path when it is time to change devices.
The Surge Player experience
One player for the media your household already uses.
Not a catalog. Not a streaming bundle. Surge is the TV-first layer that makes your own live TV, VOD, and home-server libraries feel like one intentional experience.

Live TV, movies, and series

A Home that remembers
Continue Watching, favorite channels, favorite movies and series, and personal lists stay visible regardless of the source you last opened.

FAQ
The first questions people will ask.
The short version: Surge is the TV-first layer around the sources and media you choose to connect.
What does Surge Player actually provide?
Surge Player is a home media player and library experience. Users connect their own supported libraries and services, then Surge organizes playback, browsing, profiles, favorites, and premium integrations around them.
Does Surge Player provide the channels or movies?
No. Surge Player does not supply or sell the content catalog itself. It is a player and library layer for user-provided sources and supported integrations.
Is it meant to work on Fire TV without sideloading?
Surge Player is available for native TV installation and a remote-first experience. Google Play is the easiest option on supported devices; sideloading is available for compatible TV hardware.
What makes the kids experience different?
A kids profile is still a normal personal profile. A parent can optionally lock it to Home, then require a PIN before that profile can leave Home and browse the wider app.
Which features are likely premium?
Premium is the home for advanced integrations, richer metadata, household organization, and other convenience features as they mature.
