The M3UTool apps
Your customers can watch in any player app, but the M3UTool apps are the ones that carry your branding, sign in with one activation code and let you reach the customer with a message. There are four of them, and a customer can use several at the same time.
The four apps
| App | For | Download link |
|---|---|---|
| Android TV | Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV and TV boxes | editor.dontv.shop/apk |
| Android phone & tablet | Phones and tablets with Android 6 or newer | editor.dontv.shop/phone |
| Windows | Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit | editor.dontv.shop/windows |
| Web player | Any browser, also on a computer or tablet | editor.dontv.shop/play |
At the time of writing, the Android TV and phone apps are at version 1.0.3 and the Windows player at 1.0.19. The page dontv.shop/downloads always lists the newest version of every app, with its download button.
If you use your own domain, the same short links work on it, for example tv.yoursite.com/apk. More in Branding and custom domain.
What the apps do
- Live TV with the TV guide: your channels in your order, with your names, logos and guide.
- Movies and series: with posters, descriptions and seasons.
- Catch-up: replay earlier programmes on channels where your provider keeps them.
- Fallbacks: when a channel has fallbacks, the app switches to a working source by itself.
- Continue watching and My list: a series shows once in Continue watching, on the episode watched last, with that episode's own picture.
- Profiles and a parental PIN: each person in the house gets their own lists. More in Profiles, PIN and sync.
- Your branding: your app name, logo and colour, from the first start after the activation code.
How customers sign in
| App | Ways to sign in |
|---|---|
| Android TV | Activation code |
| Windows | Activation code |
| Android phone & tablet | Activation code, Xtream login or M3U link |
| Web player | Activation code or Username (the customer's login) |
The activation code is the easiest, because it needs no server address. More in Activation codes.
Settings in the TV and Windows apps
The customer finds Settings in the menu. The sections come in this order: Playback, Audio & subtitles, Channels, TV guide, Appearance, Playlists, Account, Parental, Recordings, Startup & updates, Advanced and About & help. The Right arrow opens a section or a setting and the Left arrow goes back.
Two places your customers use most:
- Account: their subscription and Your devices, where they see what is watching on their login and can disconnect a device themselves.
- About & help: the app version, app updates and a one-press log upload for support.
Updates
The apps look for a new version by themselves and offer it. The Windows player asks shortly after it starts, with Update now or Later. Nothing installs without the customer agreeing.
Good to know
- Note: Windows may show a SmartScreen warning for the installer. Click More info, then Run anyway.
- The TV app and the phone app are two different apps. Give TV boxes the
/apklink and phones the/phonelink. - Activation codes and the M3UTool apps come with Branded players in your plan. More in Plan and billing.
