The TMP (Telegram Media Player) app allows you to safely connect to your Telegram account from your Android TV box or smart TV. This way, you can browse your chats, groups and channels and watch your desired media on your TV in the easiest way possible.
The app is the perfect companion and sync with your Telegram account. You control what you want to see on your screen using the remote control.
TMP doesn’t host any content of any kind. It only shows content from chats, groups and channels found on your Telegram account.
Here are the instructions on how to install the TMP app:
You can install the app using an APK file or from the Amazon App Store.
- Click APK file or Amazon App Store for the TMP app

Here are the settings of the app:
- Sidebar folders view – Select from show all, show basic folder only and show custom folder only
- Select player – Select from internal, VLC, MX Player and MX Player Pro. We recommend using MX Player.
- Select pre buffer – Select the size of the pre-buffer. A larger buffer prevents buffering but increases the loading time of the media. In most cases, 50 should be the best option.
- Select pre buffer before playing – Open a dialog to choose the size of the pre-buffer before playing the media
- Select player before playing – Open a dialog to choose the player before playing the media
