  • No downloads: stream directly from a link.
  • Cross-device: works on desktop and mobile.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Instant playback from any direct URL.
  • Clean UI with keyboard shortcuts and fullscreen.
  • Supports MP4, WebM and other browser-friendly formats.

Cons

  • Browser determines format support (MKV often not supported).
  • DRM-protected or login-gated links will not play.
  • Slow hosts can cause buffering regardless of your device.

Supported Formats & Notes

Playback relies on your browser’s built-in media support. Most modern browsers support MP4 (H.264/AAC) and WebM (VP9/Opus). MKV may not play. Network streams like rtsp:// and rtmp:// are generally not supported by browsers.

Troubleshooting

  • Only a webpage opens? You pasted a page URL (e.g., YouTube page), not a direct file link.
  • MKV doesn’t play? Try downloading and using VLC Player.
  • Still buffering? The file host is slow. Try another mirror or download first.
  • Audio only? The video codec might be unsupported by your browser.
