NanoPlayer is a lightweight stream URL player. It plays network stream URLs you provide — it does NOT supply, host, or distribute any channels, streams, or media content. WHAT YOU NEED TO USE THIS APP You must bring your own legally obtained stream URL (e.g. an HLS stream your organization or service has authorized you to access). Paste the URL into the app to start playing.
