Android IPTV & M3U Player — Google Play and APK

What you need

  • An Android phone or tablet
  • Google Play / APK / Chrome / VLC
  • Optional: your own M3U / M3U8 playlist link

Steps

  1. Get it on Google Play

    Install from Google Play for store-managed updates, or use the signed APK below. The two channels may use different signing certificates; update through the channel you installed from. Open Doubo after installation and add your own playlist.

  2. In Chrome: open the web player

    Go to doubo.tv/web and tap a channel to watch. Add your own playlist with Add playlist.

  3. Add it to your home screen

    In Chrome’s menu ⋮, choose Add to Home screen to open the web player like an app.

  4. With VLC: open a network stream

    Install VLC from Google Play, open More → New stream (Stream in older versions) and paste your playlist link.
