Free online M3U and M3U8 playlist player
Use Doubo’s free web player without an account or installation. Import an M3U / M3U8 channel playlist, browse its groups and search for channels. Playback depends on stream access, your region and browser support.
How to import your playlist
- Select Add playlist in the player.
- Paste a playlist URL you are authorized to use, select a local .m3u / .m3u8 file, or paste the playlist text. You can enter an optional name.
- Select Add, then pick a group or search for a channel. If import fails, check the error before trying again.
Playlist links, HLS streams and playback limits
A channel playlist lists stream URLs and may include channel names, groups and logos. An HLS .m3u8 URL can instead describe one stream’s variants or media segments; the extension alone does not identify a channel list. The importer expects a channel playlist. Cross-origin (CORS) rules, HTTP mixed content, expired tokens, regional restrictions and unsupported codecs can prevent importing or playing a stream. The configured media proxy can help with some network restrictions, but does not guarantee playback or bypass access controls.
Nothing to install
Use a modern browser such as Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox. Stream and codec support vary by browser.
Groups and search
Reads the groups in your playlist so you can find a channel among thousands.
Automatic route switching
Channels with several stream links are merged, and the player moves to the next link when one does not start.

Saved playlists use this browser’s local storage. Playlist and stream playback sends requests to their sources or a relay service. This website uses Google Analytics according to the privacy policy. Clear site data or change browsers and you will need to add saved playlists again.
