Every screen in the family, looked after from yours.
Orbit Player plays your TV playlists on Windows, Android and the big screen. Set it up once for your parents or your clients, then fix a setting or update a playlist from your own account. No drive across town, no walking someone through a menu over the phone.
Download Orbit Player See how managed accounts work
Orbit Player is a media player only. We do not provide or sell IPTV services, channels or subscriptions; you add the playlist from your own TV provider.
One player, three kinds of screen
The same guide, the same favourites and the same settings wherever you sit down. Each version is built for how that screen is used.
Where it runs
Phone and tablet
Android
A bottom bar you arrange yourself and a guide made for thumbs. Your phone also works as a remote for the TV, and can send a film to the big screen.
TV
Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV
Everything works from the remote in your hand: guide, search, recordings and every setting. Buttons on the remote can be given the jobs you use most.
What it does
- TV guide with search across every programme, not just channel names.
- Films and series from your provider, with season pages, cast and plot filled in where the provider left gaps.
- Reminders and recordings. Pick a programme in the guide and Orbit records it or tells you when it starts.
- Pause and catch up on live TV, then jump back to live in one press.
- Parental lock with a PIN on the groups you choose.
- Nine languages, and themes for bright rooms and dark ones.
Be the family's TV support without leaving your sofa
If you're the one who gets the call when the TV "isn't working", this part is for you. Add your parents' players to your account and you can see and change them from your own phone or PC.
- Install Orbit Player on their TV. It shows a short code on screen.
- Type the code into your account. Their player now appears in your list.
- Look after it from wherever you are. Add or update their playlist, make the text bigger, lock a group, change what the remote buttons do.
They keep watching. Changes arrive the next time their player checks in, and nothing on their screen needs pressing.

For people who look after other people's TV
Installers, resellers and small providers use the same account page, with more room. Every client's players are in one list, so a support call starts with you already looking at their setup.
See every client at a glance
Which players are online, which playlist each one uses, when a subscription runs out and how many connections it allows.
Fix it for them
Push a new playlist address, refresh the guide or change a setting on one player or on all of a client's players at once.
Set up a new client in minutes
They install the player and read you the code on screen. You do the rest from your desk, and their favourites and settings follow them to any new device.
Settings are stored encrypted
The settings we keep so they can follow you between devices are encrypted before they're stored. Provider passwords are masked in the app and in its logs.
Your name on the player
Orbit Player comes in a white-label version. Your clients install a player with your name, your logo and your colours, already pointed at your service.
- Your app name, icon and start-up screen on Windows, Android and TV.
- Your playlist and guide set up from the first launch.
- The same account page for managing clients, under your brand.
- Updates built and delivered by us.

We do not provide or sell IPTV services
Orbit Player is software for playing playlists you already have. It comes with no channels, films or subscriptions, and we don't sell, resell or recommend any. A licence pays for the player and nothing else. You are responsible for making sure you have the right to watch what your provider gives you.
Questions people ask first
Does Orbit Player include channels?
No. We do not provide or sell IPTV services, channels or subscriptions. Orbit Player is only the player: you add a playlist from the TV provider you already pay for, and you're responsible for having the right to watch what's in it.
Can you recommend a provider or sell me a subscription?
No. We don't sell, resell or recommend IPTV providers, and a licence doesn't include any content.
What kinds of playlist does it play?
M3U playlists, Xtream Codes logins and Stalker portals, each with its TV guide where the provider has one.
Do I need an account?
Not to watch. You need one to buy a licence, and a licensed player signs in to it so its playlists and settings can sync and be managed.
What happens when the 14 days are up?
The player keeps working as the free version: one playlist, no TV guide, the Nord theme. Add a licence at any time and everything comes back.
Can my parents change things I've set for them?
Yes. Their player is still theirs, and whatever either of you changes shows up on both sides.
What can the person managing my player see?
The player's settings, its playlists and whether it's online. Not what you're watching.
I signed in with a g84.bid account. What happens to it?
Accounts are moving to orbit-player.com. Your playlists and players move with you, and the app will ask you to sign in again once the move is done.
