Duplex Play: Complete Installation and Setup Guide 2026

What is Duplex Play?

Duplex Play is a modern, lightweight and fast IPTV player, valued for its clean interface and low resource usage — an advantage on entry-level Android boxes and less powerful Firesticks. It supports both M3U playlists and the Xtream Codes API, with a built-in programme guide (EPG) and smooth playback in HD and 4K.

Like TiviMate or GSE Smart IPTV, Duplex Play is just a player: it does not provide any channels on its own. You need an active IPTV subscription to add your playlist.

Important note: Duplex Play is not available on iPhone, iPad, Mac or Windows.
