Questions

Straight answers.

Does Virumo include any channels?

No. Virumo is a player. It contains no channels, lists or links. You add a playlist or subscription that you're entitled to use.

Which playlist formats work?

M3U and M3U8 playlist links, and Xtream Codes logins (server, username, password). Programme guides load from XMLTV or from your Xtream panel.

How do I install it?

By sideloading a file onto your device. The install page walks through it for Fire TV, Android TV and Google TV, and phones. Store listings are on the roadmap.

Does it cost anything?

The core player works without paying. Some features are marked Premium, and Premium is planned as a one-off unlock code for your device. The table above lists what is in each.

Does one Premium code cover several devices?

No. A code is tied to the device it was issued for, and a code copied to another device does not work. A factory reset needs a re-issued code, and a backup restored on another device does not carry the unlock.

Why did my Xtream server fail over HTTPS?

Many Xtream panels only serve plain http, which Virumo allows for that reason. If a connection fails over HTTPS, try http, or ask your provider which one to use.

Can I watch more than one channel at once?

Yes, with Premium: up to four channels at once. Each stream needs a connection of its own from your provider, so you need an account that allows several at once, or extra logins. If your provider permits only one connection, you will be watching one channel at a time whatever the player promises.

What data does Virumo collect?

No personal data, and there is no account system. The full statement is on the privacy page.

Some channels won't play. Is that Virumo?

Often not: a channel that's off air or down at the provider fails the same way in every player.

Does it work on phones and tablets?

Yes. Virumo picks a touch layout on a phone, tablet or foldable and the remote-first layout on a TV or stick. Picture-in-picture and background play are Premium.

Status

Launching soon.

Virumo is in testing and is not on a store yet. This website collects nothing from you, so there is nothing to sign up to. When downloads open, the file and its checksum will be published on the install page.
