OpenPlayer is a free, standalone media player for Android TV and Samsung Tizen TVs. It connects to your own M3U or Xtream Codes provider to stream live TV, movies, and series. OpenPlayer does not provide, host, or distribute any content.

Does OpenPlayer include any channels or content?

No. OpenPlayer is a player only, like VLC. You must supply your own media provider (M3U URL or Xtream Codes credentials). We do not provide playlists, channels, or content recommendations.

How do I pair my TV with OpenPlayer?

Open the app on your TV, scan the QR code with your phone, and enter your provider details (M3U URL or Xtream server, username, and password). The credentials are encrypted end-to-end and pushed securely to your TV.

Yes, OpenPlayer is completely free with no ads, no subscriptions, and no in-app purchases.

What platforms does OpenPlayer support?

OpenPlayer runs on Android TV and Samsung Tizen 4.0+ TVs from 2018 and newer. The app is currently in testing. APK download and store listings will be available soon.
