Local online video player
The IPTV protocol allows us to tune into TV channels on our mobile devices by means of Internet streams. There are several applications that make the most of this protocol, such as You TV Player, one of the most popular options, or this XMTV Player.
It's a multimedia player with a concept similar to VLC Media Player, as it allows us to play both files stored locally on our device and those hosted on other servers via streaming. Therefore, if you're looking for an application to watch TV on Android, XMTV Player can be a decent solution provided that you add the right channel lists.
