IPTV player for Mac — Apple TestFlight beta

Doubo is a real Mac app, not a port of a phone app or a web page. It uses SwiftUI and Apple’s own player, so you can keep a live channel floating in Picture in Picture while you work and browse thousands of channels from a sidebar.

Apple TestFlight beta. Picture in Picture, DLNA casting, TV remote, catch-up and dual audio described here refer to the Apple beta. TV discovery and casting depend on the Apple build and network permissions. These features are not all available on Android, Windows or the web player.

Why Doubo on the Mac

A native macOS app

SwiftUI with AVKit playback and hardware decoding. Light on battery and fans, with a sidebar layout made for big screens.

Watch while you work

Pop the channel out into Picture in Picture and keep it above your other windows, or switch to full screen.

Big playlists, fast search

Browse by group, search as you type and star favorites across playlists with thousands of channels.

Cast to the living-room TV

The Mac finds DLNA smart TVs on your network automatically and can control Roku, Samsung and LG TVs with the universal remote.

Xtream Codes and headers

Sign in with Xtream Codes, and play channels that need a specific User-Agent or Referer from the playlist.

Private

No ads, no analytics SDK, no account. Everything stays on your Mac.

Questions

What is a good IPTV player for Mac?

A good Mac IPTV player is a native app with M3U and Xtream Codes support, Picture in Picture, fast search and low CPU use. Doubo is built that way; try it with your own playlist.

Can I watch IPTV on a Mac without VLC?

Yes. Doubo plays M3U / M3U8 playlists directly with Apple’s player and adds groups, favorites and channel checks that VLC doesn’t have. If you prefer VLC, see the VLC guide.

Does Doubo run on Apple silicon and Intel Macs?

Doubo needs macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Any Mac that runs macOS 14 can run it.

Can I cast from the Mac to my TV?

Yes, to DLNA smart TVs on the same network. On the Mac, TVs are found automatically.
