## Description

StreamShow is an advanced VLC-based video monitoring extension designed for mobile devices and TVs. It supports up to 16 simultaneous streams using RTSP, HTTP, and ONVIF protocols, plus native support for popular camera brands. Users can add streams manually, by network discovery, or import configurations, and switch seamlessly between low and high-quality video streams. Features include audio control per stream, PTZ operations, picture-in-picture mode, live recording, photo capture, and robust media management capabilities including archive review and backups.

The app provides custom layouts for multi-stream viewing, supports deep links and pinned shortcuts, and acts as a VLC proxy for remote RTSP access on mobile. The TV version removes ads completely but limits free use to 3 streams. StreamShow is ideal for users needing a flexible, reliable, and user-friendly solution for managing multiple video surveillance streams on mobile and TV platforms.

## Review summary

Users praise StreamShow for easy setup, broad RTSP compatibility, and strong multi‑stream monitoring, especially on Android TV. The app is valued for reliable streaming across many cameras and group management. However, there are recurring downsides: device-specific crashes (notably on S24), intrusive ads, lack of login/ONVIF support, no playlist/import options, and free-version camera limits. Overall, it’s a solid RTSP viewer with excellent TV support, but reliability and ONVIF/credential features need improvement.

### Pros

- Easy setup and reliable RTSP streaming across many camera brands/models
- Excellent camera compatibility and flexible sources (supports various brands and models)
- Strong Android TV / Google TV support, turning TVs into a monitoring hub
- Great multi-stream monitoring (4 or 9 streams per screen) with stream/group management
- Generally positive performance and highly regarded by users (very recommended)

### Cons

- Crashes/freezes on certain devices (notably Samsung S24), impacting usability
- Ads can interfere with streaming and app experience
- Lacks login credential handling and ONVIF controls (no PTZ or easy ONVIF features)
- No import or playlist support (streams must be entered manually)
- Free version has camera-count limits and some features require paid upgrade, causing frustration for users with many cameras
