Web channels, in-app browser and JavaScript
Last updated: 2026-06-28
Some channels don’t stream a direct video but are watched through a web page. The app lets you choose how to open them.
Step by step
- Open Settings and go to the Browser section.
- In-app or external browser. By default, web channels open inside the app. Turn on Use external browser if you prefer to open them in Chrome or Firefox.
- JavaScript. Turn on Enable JavaScript to allow scripts in the in-app browser. It’s required for some web channels that won’t load without it.
Tips
- If a web channel goes blank or won’t start, try enabling JavaScript.
- The external browser can offer more compatibility, but it takes you out of the app and back again.
- If a channel still won’t play, check channel not working.
