IPTV Player for Android Phones and Tablets

Opus Media Player is an IPTV app for Android phones and tablets, free to download from Google Play. Add your own M3U link or Xtream Codes login and it plays your playlist, with a guide when your source provides one.

Your phone is also the easiest way to set up a TV: QR Sync copies the playlist to an Android TV or Fire TV without typing on a remote.

How to set up an IPTV player on Android

  1. Install from Google PlayOpen Google Play on the phone or tablet, search for Opus Media Player, and install it. The package is com.biel.opus.media.player, published by BIEL LLC.
  2. Have your playlist details readyEither an M3U or M3U8 URL, or the server, username and password of an Xtream Codes login. Your source issues these.
  3. Add the playlistOpen Opus, choose to add a playlist and pick the M3U or the Xtream option. Paste rather than retype: a single wrong character in a long URL is the most common cause of a failed setup.
  4. Let it loadOpus reads the playlist and builds the categories. The first load of a large playlist takes the longest.
  5. Optional: send it to the TVIf you also use an Android TV or a Fire TV, use QR Sync from this device rather than entering the playlist again on the television.

Opus features on Android

  • Sorts live channels, films and series into categories where the source labels them.
  • Resumes series and films from where you stopped.
  • Hands the playlist to a television with QR Sync.

Why is IPTV not working on my Android?

Playback stops when the screen turns off
Android battery optimisation suspends background apps. In Android Settings, find Opus under Apps, open Battery and allow unrestricted background use.
The playlist will not load
Open the same URL in Chrome on the phone. If the browser cannot fetch it either, the URL or the subscription has expired and the player is not at fault. If it does download, the M3U file viewer shows whether the file itself is broken.
Everything buffers
Compare Wi-Fi with mobile data. If both buffer, the source is the bottleneck; the IPTV troubleshooting guide shows how to tell.
Xtream Codes login is rejected
Enter the server by itself with no path after it, and check that the account has not run out. If you only have an M3U link, the free M3U converter gives you the login fields.

Frequently asked questions

Which Android versions are supported?

Android 7.0 or later on phones and tablets. Google Play does not offer the app to a device that cannot run it.

Is there a version for Android TV?

Yes, from Google Play on the TV. Setup differs because of the remote, so it has its own Android TV guide.

Can I use one playlist on the phone and the TV at once?

That depends on your source. Most limit simultaneous connections, and exceeding the limit looks like a login failure on the second device.

Is it free?

The download is free. Optional paid tiers exist; the current prices are shown on the store listing.
