TMP - Telegram Media Player and TMPlayer: two different apps
Looking for TMP, the TMP app or the TMP APK for your TV? TMP - Telegram Media Player is an app by the developer T.M.P. TMPlayer is a different, unrelated app that does a similar job: it plays the videos in your own Telegram chats on a TV. This page sets the two side by side, from TMP's own store listings.
Updated
What TMP - Telegram Media Player is
TMP (package com.tmp.com) signs in to your Telegram account on a TV and lets you browse your chats, groups and channels and play their media with the remote. Its listing says it holds no content of its own and shows only what is in the chats you joined, with items up to 2 GB.
It was first listed on the Amazon Appstore on 25 September 2020, and was on Google Play too. Its Amazon listing says it works with the Fire TV voice remote and with game controllers, in English and Hebrew. A Xataka Android guide of January 2025 still suggested it as the way to see only the media in your chats.
Where TMP stands now
- Google Play: its page for com.tmp.com answered "not found" on 19 October 2026.
- The last Google Play listing the Wayback Machine kept, from 7 December 2020, showed version 10.0.21, updated on 6 October 2020, with 10,000+ installs.
- Amazon Appstore: still listed on 19 October 2026, as version 10.0.25, rated 2.2 out of 5 from 3,219 ratings.
- The newest version we found is 10.0.25, dated 3 December 2021 on APKPure, whose note reads "Fixed login error UPDATE_APP". We found nothing newer, and we did not test whether it still signs in.
TMPlayer is not TMP
TMPlayer is not a new version, a fork or a rename of TMP, and its developer has no connection with T.M.P. It is open source, made by dracu-lah, and its downloads come only from tmplayer.org and its GitHub releases. Two apps with close names are easy to mix up, so check the developer before you install either one.

Where TMP - Telegram Media Player is fine, or better
Older TV boxes
TMP's listings ask for Android 5.0. TMPlayer needs Android 8.0 or newer, or Fire OS 7 on a Fire TV, so a very old box may run TMP and not TMPlayer.
In Amazon's own store
On a Fire TV, TMP still installs from the Amazon Appstore. TMPlayer is installed once with the Downloader app, then offers its own updates.
Hebrew
TMP's Amazon listing names English and Hebrew. TMPlayer comes in 21 languages, and Hebrew is not one of them yet.
Photos and files
TMP's listing offers the files and photos in your chats as well. TMPlayer lists their videos and audio only.

Nothing to carry over
