About this app

BPlayer is a lightweight, native Android client for watching Acestream streams through your own self-hosted Acestream engine.

Unlike apps that bundle a heavy P2P engine or depend on third-party apps, BPlayer connects directly to an Acestream engine running on your local network and plays the resulting stream using Media3/ExoPlayer — Google's modern, actively maintained media playback framework.

How it works:
Enter a stream ID and BPlayer fetches the manifest from your engine's HTTP output and starts playing instantly.

Key features:
• Native Media3/ExoPlayer playback — smooth, low-latency streaming
• No third-party player dependency
• Works with any self-hosted Acestream engine on your network
• Lightweight, fast, and built for reliability
• Simple stream ID entry — no complicated setup

Who it's for:
BPlayer is built for users who already run their own Acestream engine and want a clean, dedicated Android app to watch their streams — without the overhead of general-purpose media apps.

Requirements:
You'll need access to a running Acestream engine on your local network. BPlayer does not include or run the engine itself — it's a player that connects to one you control.
