How to Cast M3U Playlists to Chromecast and Google TV
Chromecast cannot open playlists by itself, but a computer or phone can send channels to it in a few taps.
What you need
- A Chromecast or Google TV on the same Wi-Fi network
- Google Chrome on a computer, or an Android phone
- An M3U / M3U8 playlist link
Steps
-

On your computer, open doubo.tv/web in Chrome. Pick a free channel or add your own playlist link.

Cast the tab
Open Chrome’s menu ⋮ → Cast (in some versions under Save and share), choose your Chromecast, and play the channel full screen.
-
From an Android phone: VLC
Open the playlist in VLC for Android, start a channel, tap the cast icon and choose your Chromecast.

No install needed. Doubo’s web player opens free live channels right away, and plays your own M3U links too.

Does casting a Chrome tab lower quality?
Tab casting re-encodes the picture, so quality depends on your computer and Wi-Fi. For the best quality, install a player on Google TV.
Can I cast from an iPhone to Chromecast?
Chromecast does not support AirPlay. Use a computer with Chrome or an Android phone instead.
