What clients do people use to stream their completely legal content?

I've been through quite a few Smart TV, SmartOne, GSE, Bay TV, TiviMate, Smarters Pro.

TiviMate is by far the best interface IMO and if it was my main source of TV I wouldn't object paying for a licence (which isn't unreasonable) but no iOS app (which is probably what I use the most) it puts me off paying for the license bundle ($30 5 devices for lifetime) just for a TV app which I barely use.

I still like and use GSE but it is sooooooo slow to parse the playlist as it parses the whole thing each time you load the app.

Smarters is lightening quick and I like the interface. Think I may well start using that on my phone instead of GSE.

Bay TV was my go to on my Samsung TV as it is free and on their app store but for some reason it just stopped working with my playlist.

Smart TV appears to have given up sadly.

SmartOne looks like they got a child with a crayon to design their interface.

Any other suggestions?

I use Tivimate on my TV (via "Chromecast with Google TV" device) and sideloaded onto my Android phone - the latter is not officially supported, and is a bit like using Desktop Mode on a website, but works well.

I have also used Nanomid as an app on my Samsung TV, but it has a very clunky interface.

I used to use TiViMate, and I agree its probably the best out there. But at the moment I'm using Sparkle on the Fire Stick, and it works pretty well. Don't have to pay either (from what I can tell). Has all the functionality of TiViMate.
