The old way

Stop moving
all your videos.

Most OTT platforms force you to upload your entire video library to their servers. Tappla doesn't. We connect to wherever your videos already live — Vimeo, your CDN, your own server — and sync changes automatically.

Vimeo

Vimeo Pro / Premium

Direct API integration. Showcases, playlists, thumbnails, and metadata sync automatically every 36-48 hours.

Boxcast · Resi · StreamSpot · HLS

Live stream from any provider

Paste your public HLS URL once. Works with Boxcast, Resi, StreamSpot, Living As One, ChurchStreaming.tv — anyone who gives you a stream URL.

Feed · CDN · Custom

JSON or MRSS feed, or manual URLs

Already on a Roku JSON feed? Same URL works. Self-hosted on your own CDN? Paste video URLs one by one.

Why now

Building TV apps
the old way
is broken.

Think twice before going with an overpriced TV-app development agency.

01

You can't update your own app

New videos arrive constantly. With an agency build, every update is a ticket, a billable hour, and another App Store re-submission cycle. With Tappla, you upload to Vimeo (or your CDN) and the app updates itself within 36-48 hours.

02

$20K is not your budget

Custom Apple TV / Roku app development quotes start around $20,000 and stretch over months. Tappla replaces the agency, the developer, and the per-platform vendor for $99/month per app.

03

Six months is not your timeline

Agencies juggle clients, miss deadlines, and bill change requests as 'unexpected scope'. Tappla ships Roku in 1-2 weeks, Apple TV in 3-6 weeks (Apple Developer enrollment is usually the long pole).

The new way

Build & launch
your TV apps yourself.

With Tappla, anyone can launch native apps for Apple TV, Fire TV, and Roku — without writing a single line of code.

DIY without coding. Fully independent of developers.

Launch in a fraction of the time of an agency build.

Push updates instantly — no App Store re-submissions.

Customer story

"Creating my own TV app for Apple TV was so easy and fast. I don't know anything about programming. If I can do it, you can too."

Feed Manager

One feed. Roku,
Fire TV — handled.

Roku Direct Publisher and Amazon Fire TV both expect a single, perfectly-formatted feed URL. Tappla's Feed Manager generates one for you from your Vimeo library and live streams — and keeps it in sync forever.

How Tappla generates a single Roku and Fire TV feed URL from your Vimeo library and live streams

Feeds optimized for Roku & Fire TV

Connect Vimeo and live HLS streams. Tappla generates a feed URL that meets Roku Direct Publisher and Amazon Fire TV spec.

One feed for your entire library

Roku and Fire TV expect a single feed URL — we merge all your Vimeo playlists and live streams into one.

Always in sync with Vimeo

No more syntax errors from manual updates. Edit in Vimeo, the feed updates itself.

Right metadata, right placement

Get discovered with the correct content types (mini-series, TV special), category, language, and more.

Three steps to your Roku / Fire TV app

01

Sign up to Tappla & connect your video provider.

02

Match your videos & generate the feed URL.

03

Use the feed in Amazon Creator or Roku Publisher.

Integrations

Plays nicely with your stack.

Tappla integrates directly with Vimeo and HLS streaming URLs (live events or 24/7 channels) to keep your video apps in sync.
