Your subscription,
laid out properly.
You already pay for the subscription. What comes back is a list — thousands of lines, in whatever order the provider felt like sending them. Amber Player is where that list turns into something you can sit down in front of: a real guide, film and series catalogues, downloads, and a player that remembers where you stopped.
Windows 10 or newer · 32 MB · nothing to install · no account, no card, no time limit
Amber Player is a player, and nothing else. It does not provide, host or distribute any content, and it is the source of no stream. Every channel, film and series you see comes from the provider you sign in to. You bring your own subscription.
What this actually is.
An IPTV subscription is a list of addresses. Your provider sends it as a link, a file or a set of sign-in details, and on its own that is all it is — a list. What it does not come with is anywhere decent to watch it.
Amber Player is that place, for Windows. You sign in with whatever your provider already gave you, and the app sorts out the rest: channels into categories, films and series into catalogues, and a guide where there is one to be had.
Everything your provider sends, in the right order.
Live TV
Categories and channels, with what is on now and what is next. Where your provider sends no guide, the app fills it in from the open listings for your country. Several channels on one screen when you want them, and the day's sport on the home screen.
Films and series
The catalogue your provider carries, searchable and sortable, with favourites, episode lists, and carrying on from where you left off. Search that finds a title whether or not you type the accents.
Downloads
Keep a film or an episode on the computer and watch it when the line is bad, or gone. Downloads queue up, carry on after a stop, and land in a folder you chose rather than hidden inside the app.
Made for the long evening
Twenty languages, including Arabic and Hebrew where the whole layout turns over rather than only the words. Parental control, a data saver, subtitles, audio tracks and playback speed — and it opens in the language your computer already speaks.
A few minutes, and nothing installed.
Unpack it
What you download is a zip. Right-click it, choose Extract All, and put the folder wherever you keep things — the desktop will do. There is no installer, and nothing is written into Windows itself.
Open it
Run the app inside the folder. The first time, Windows may say it does not recognise it: choose More info, then Run anyway. Deleting the folder later removes the lot.
Add your provider
Sign in with what your provider gave you and the app fills itself in — channels, catalogues, and the guide. There is nothing else to set up and no account of ours to make.
What it looks like.
It reports nothing, because there is nowhere to report to.
Not a promise to behave. The app has no server of its own to send anything to.
No account, ever
There is nothing here to sign up for. The only sign-in anywhere is the one to your own provider, and those details are kept encrypted on your own computer.
Nothing is measured
No analytics, no crash reports, no advertising, no tracking. What you watch is not counted, not sent anywhere, and not seen by anybody but you.
It speaks to no server of ours
The app talks to your provider, and — where your provider sends no guide — to two open listings. Beyond those it contacts nothing. The whole account is in Privacy.
Free, and there is nothing to buy.
No account, no card, no time counting down. Unpack it wherever you like and open it — nothing is installed, and deleting the folder leaves nothing behind.
Windows will warn you the first time. Because the file is downloaded rather than installed from a store, Windows shows a blue screen saying it does not recognise it. Choose More info, then Run anyway. On a few machines the warning has no way past it at all — that is Windows being cautious about a file it has not seen before, and it eases as more people download the same one.
Before you download.
Do I need an IPTV subscription of my own?
Yes. Amber Player comes with nothing to watch. It plays what the provider you sign in to sends it, and it has no list of its own. If you do not have a subscription, this app will show you an empty screen.
Will it work with my provider?
It works with Xtream Codes sign-in, an M3U playlist — an address or a file — and a single stream address. Most providers hand out one of those. There is nothing to lose by trying: the app is free.
Is it really free? What is the catch?
There is none. Nothing counts down, no key is asked for, and no part of the app is held back. It may be sold one day; if that happens it will be said plainly here, and a copy already on your computer will go on working.
Why does Windows say it does not recognise it?
Because it is downloaded rather than installed from a store, and Windows has not seen this file often enough to have made up its mind about it. Choose More info and then Run anyway. Nothing is being reported and nothing is wrong with the file — the same warning greets every small program handed out this way.
Do you see what I watch?
No. Your sign-in details are kept encrypted on your own computer, and what you watch is nobody's business but yours. The app reports nothing to anybody and speaks to no server of ours at all. The whole account is in Privacy.
Is there a version for Android or a Smart TV?
Not yet. Windows first, and properly, before anything else is started.
