About

Kawa Player

Features
Read full description

Kawa Player is a simple, lightweight media player for M3U and M3U8 playlists. Add your own playlist URLs to play audio and video streams from sources you have the right to use. The app does not provide, host, transmit, or aggregate any content of its own. Every stream comes from a URL or .m3u file you supply. There is no built-in catalog, no featured channels, no electronic programme guide curated by us, and no way to discover content from inside the app — you bring the playlists, the player plays them. Features • Add a playlist by pasting an M3U or M3U8 URL • Play HLS, MPEG-TS, MP4 and other common stream formats via the libmpv engine • Save multiple playlists side by side • Clean, distraction-free playback on iPhone and iPad • Works in portrait and landscape, with AirPlay-friendly fullscreen • Lightweight and ad-supported What it is not Kawa Player is not a TV service, an IPTV platform, a broadcaster or a content provider. It does not include channels or streams out of the box. You are responsible for the playlists you add and for ensuring you have the right to access the content they reference. If you have used VLC, Infuse or other open media players, this will feel familiar. Bring your own URL — the player handles the rest.
