YTV Player Pro is a clean, no-frills video player built around a single idea: paste a URL, hit play. It handles stream formats that most standard players struggle with — TS segments, M3U playlists, M3U8 adaptive streams, and live HLS feeds — with zero buffering fuss.
Most Android video players are built for local files. YTV Player Pro was built for network streams from the ground up — it handles every format your provider or stream source throws at it.
YTV Player Pro keeps things focused — powerful playback tools without the bloat that slows most players down.
Plays any video URL you throw at it — HTTP, HTTPS, live stream endpoints, or direct file links. If it streams, this app plays it.
Load M3U playlists and M3U8 adaptive streams natively. Switch between quality levels mid-stream when available from your source.
Every link you add stays saved. Rename, update the URL, change the User Agent, or delete entries from your personalized link library.
Keep the video playing in a floating mini-window while you use other apps. Works on Android 8.0 and above.
Cast your stream directly from the app to any Chromecast or Chromecast-compatible TV. No separate app or device pairing needed.
Streams with multiple audio tracks let you pick your preferred language or channel. Switch anytime during playback without interruption.
