An M3U/IPTV player —— what it is and where it runs
Megacubo is a player: it opens the playlists and streams you provide. What provides the content is your M3U playlist —— the app does not sell, bundle or host channels. It runs on Windows, Linux, macOS and Android with the same program underneath; what changes is the package format and the way you install it.

- Does —— plays M3U playlists, live TV, radio and video on demand; keeps bookmarks, the EPG guide and history
- Does —— records and casts to TV, with the optional Premium license
- Does not —— does not include or endorse channel lists: the playlist is yours, or comes from community sources
- Does not —— does not sell subscriptions, channel packages or trials
To understand what it is as a product, the facts and specifications page has the dated definition and the source of every item.
What changes from one system to another
- Desktop in general
- Where recording and casting make most sense: local files, a miniplayer on top of other windows and keyboard shortcuts
- Windows
- Installer with its own updater —— the app keeps itself updated once installed
- Linux
- Packages per release, without an installer: you pick AppImage, Snap or Flatpak
- macOS
- Builds for Apple Silicon and Intel; the app is not signed, so the system asks for a confirmation on first launch
- Android and TV
- APK format, installed outside the stores; navigation works with a remote control on Android TV and TV boxes
Frequently asked questions
Is Megacubo a player or an IPTV service?
It is a player. It opens the M3U playlists and streams that you or the community provide, and it does not sell, bundle or host channels or playlists.
Which system should I choose?
Megacubo runs on Windows, Linux, macOS and Android, with the same app underneath. Choose the system you will watch on: the desktop records and casts best, and Android TV is the one that sits in the living room television.
Do I need the Premium license to use the player?
No. Watching live TV and radio is free and open source on every platform; the license adds recording, VOD downloads, scheduled recordings and casting to TV.
