Continue

Smart Resume & History

Pick up movies and series exactly where you left off. The integrated history saves your VOD and series progress locally and seamlessly highlights started episodes with a progress bar.

Live-TV

Smart Live Favorites

Mark your favorite channels with a single click. The app bundles all Live TV favorites across different sources into a lightning-fast category right at the top of your list.

Organization

Smart VOD Grouping

No more cluttered lists! Movies, VOD, and series are automatically sorted into a single "Movies" and a "Series" group. This keeps your regular group list clean and prevents it from being spammed.

Live / VOD

Smart Content Filter

Keep your interface clean. When adding one of your own sources, decide right away whether you want to load only Live TV, only Movies & Series, or the complete package.

Live-Scan

ViP Radar

Can't find the game among 10,000 channels? Just enter your keywords. The app scans the EPG in the background and matching events pop up chronologically in the exclusive ViP category.

Zero-Cloud

Local Stream-Sync

Pause in the living room, resume seamlessly in the bedroom. The app detects paused streams in your Wi-Fi via P2P Nano-Server and resumes exactly where you left off (requires Catchup, otherwise live playback). 100% Zero-Cloud.

0ms Delay

High-Performance UI

Purpose-built for TV hardware: Whether using a remote control or a touchscreen, inputs are processed instantly and precisely. All menus and overlays open absolutely smoothly without any annoying stutters.

Smart RAM

Smart EPG Pre-Warming

Compressed electronic program guides (XML.GZ) are silently unpacked in the background and intelligently cached in RAM. The result: An instantly accessible EPG – without any loading spinners.

Local Proxy

Smart Proxy Engine

A local loopback proxy on the device forwards the HTTP headers, User-Agents and standard parameters configured by the user in their playlist unchanged to the stream server. It does not modify server responses, does not bypass any protection mechanism and does not inject any third-party content — the proxy exists solely to correctly relay user-supplied configuration to the Media3 engine.

Fusion

Playlist Combiner

Manage multiple sources seamlessly. If channel and group names match, our auto-grouping kicks in. The player subtly indicates which list the active stream is pulled from.

Smart Fallback

Smart XML Logos

Get the best logo quality. Our engine extracts high-resolution icons directly from your EPG data (XMLTV). You decide via a simple switch: intelligently fill the gaps (M3U preferred) or strictly prioritize XML logos.

Decryption

Standard DRM Playback

Plays ClearKey and hardware-backed DRM streams (e.g. Widevine) exclusively through the official Android / Media3 APIs. The player does not circumvent, manipulate or convert any protection mechanism — it only uses the DRM interfaces provided by the operating system, for streams the user has legally licensed.

Split & PiP

MultiView

Two streams at once. Switch smoothly between in-app Picture-in-Picture or 50/50 split-screen. Audio focus can be smartly controlled.

1GB Cache

Local Timeshift

Conveniently pause Live TV via a local on-device cache (up to 1 GB). Our buffering strategy is robust against the typical manifest loop errors that cause other apps to crash.

#KODIPROP

Native Kodi Syntax

Full compatibility with #KODIPROP tags. Pass complex properties, specific User-Agents, or tokens seamlessly from your M3U playlist – including directly as HTTP headers.

Passthrough

Smart Audio Control

Use native RAW audio passthrough for AV receivers or activate the new Smart Loudness Equalizer to automatically boost quiet movie dialogs and tame loud commercials.

Fuzzy Search

Deep EPG Matching

Standard players often fail with messy channel names. Our deep matching algorithm intelligently uses fuzzy search to reliably link even obscure channels to program data.

Seamless

Auto Frame Rate

Stutter-free picture. The player reads the frame rate from the stream metadata and passes it to the official Android Display API (Display.Mode) so your TV can switch seamlessly to the matching refresh rate (e.g. 24p / 50p).

4K HDR

Tunneling & HDR

For high-end TVs: The player enables Android's official tunneled-playback and HDR interfaces, so that video decoding and HDR tone-mapping are handed off by the operating system directly to the TV's hardware decoders — the player itself does not perform any image processing.

E-AC3 & Dolby

Dolby E-AC3 Support

Cinematic sound in your living room. The player can pass E-AC3 (Dolby Digital Plus) audio tracks straight through to your TV or connected AV receiver. The actual audio decoding is done by the TV or receiver — the player does not modify the bitstream.

Quick-Zap

Fast Zapping

Reduced switching times through our optimized stream probing. Zap blazingly fast between your favorite channels without waiting for long buffer pauses.

Control

Custom Buffer Control

Full control for enthusiasts: Adjust the video playback buffer and live-edge latency down to the millisecond to match your local network conditions.

Cross-Platform

TV & Mobile Ready

Whether on the big Android TV in the living room or on the go on your smartphone. The interface adapts automatically and is fully optimized for both remote control & touch.

Auto Boot

Auto-Start Boot

Turn your TV into a real set-top box. Enable auto-start, and the app automatically boots into full-screen mode as soon as you turn on the TV – directly on the last watched channel.

Parental Control

Smart Kids Mode

Make the player childproof. Lock menus and inappropriate groups behind an invisible arrow-key sequence. No code, no escape.

Smart Scaling

Dynamic Hardware Scaling

The engine detects your TV's RAM size and performance class at startup. On high-end devices (like the Shield) it uses the full feature set; on weaker sticks it reduces background tasks to noticeably decrease stuttering during fast scrolling.

Export / Import

Backup & Restore

Secure your playlists, settings, and channel history. With the new backup feature, you can locally export your entire player state and seamlessly restore it on any other device.

Real-Time

Spotlight Search

Find channels, programs, or local movies at lightning speed. The system-wide search delivers real-time results as you type – perfectly optimized for TV remotes.

API Ready

Multi-Protocol

Maximum flexibility: In addition to local files and standard M3U playlists, the player can also handle other open list formats, provided the user has legitimate access to the respective source.

SMB & WebDAV

Native NAS & Cloud

Free up your TV storage. Connect up to 5 SMB or WebDAV servers. Stream your movie collection seamlessly or use your NAS as a direct, wireless target for all recordings.

PVR Server

TVHeadend Integration

The player can connect to a TVHeadend server operated by the user on the local network via the official TVHeadend HTTP API. Available channels and EPG data are retrieved exclusively through the documented interface. The user is solely responsible for only receiving content for which they hold the necessary rights.

Background PVR

Integrated Recording

Record active streams losslessly. Schedule timers conveniently directly via the EPG. The recording runs reliably in the background thanks to a dedicated service. Only for content for which the user holds the corresponding recording rights.

Multi-Account

Smart Profile Switch

Managing several local player profiles (e.g. for family members with different playlists and favorites)? Switch blazingly fast between your locally saved profiles directly in the player without having to open the main menu.

Web Remote

Remote Web Dashboard

Control your player from any device on your Wi-Fi. The built-in web dashboard lets you manage playlists, settings, backup/restore, EPG configuration and a full-featured M3U editor – right from your phone or PC browser.

Live Editor

Live M3U Editor

Edit your playlists directly in the browser. The built-in M3U editor lets you rename, move and organize channels and groups – and syncs every change live to your TV.

Drag & Drop

Drag & Drop Sorting

Arrange channels and groups via drag & drop in your preferred order. The new sorting is applied to the player immediately when you save.

Inline Edit

Inline Channel Editing

Change channel names, logos, EPG IDs and group assignments directly in the channel row. Your customizations are saved as custom names – the original name is always preserved.

Hide/Show

Hide Channels & Groups

Hide individual channels or entire groups with a single click. Hidden entries disappear from the player but remain in the editor and can be restored at any time.

3-Level Reset

Reset to Original

Three-level reset: Discard unsaved changes, reset individual channels/groups to database state, or restore the entire playlist to the original M3U import – thanks to a persistent snapshot.

M3U Export

M3U Export & Import

Export your edited playlist as a clean M3U file with full KODIPROP support. Import new playlists via upload or URL directly through the dashboard.

Encoding Fix

Auto Encoding Detection

The parser automatically detects your M3U file's character encoding: UTF-8 BOM, UTF-8, Windows-1252 or ISO-8859-1. No more broken special characters.

EPG Config

EPG Management

Configure your EPG sources conveniently in the dashboard. Add XMLTV URLs, check sync status and map EPG IDs to your channels – all without touching the TV.

Remote Play

Dashboard Remote Control

Start streams, switch channels and control playback directly from the dashboard. Volume, pause and channel switching are all available via the web interface.

AES-GCM

Encrypted Backup

Secure your complete settings, playlists, and favorites in encrypted .vbk format (AES-GCM). Export and import backups safely via the web dashboard or directly on the device.

Rewind

Catchup & NPVR

Watch missed programs with ease. Supports common catchup formats (Append, Shift, Flussonic) and lets you rewind up to several days – as long as your provider supports it.

Diagnostics

Stream Health Monitor

Monitor your stream's technical details in real-time. View resolution, bitrate, codec, frame drops, and network buffer as a direct overlay in the player – essential for troubleshooting.

Key Mapping

Custom Key Bindings

Map your remote control or keyboard buttons individually. Assign functions like recording, EPG, favorites, or channel switching to any key – for maximum comfort.

Auto-Series

Series Recording

Schedule once — the engine automatically records every new episode. EPG-based series matching detects your favorite shows by title and queues all upcoming episodes with intelligent conflict resolution.

30+ Themes

Theme Engine

Make the player yours. Over 30 ready-made themes (Sapphire, Emerald, Crimson, Aurora, Carbon, Sakura, Phantom and many more) plus fully customizable accent colors, font sizes, and individual text colors for every UI zone.

WireGuard

Per-Playlist VPN

Full WireGuard integration right inside the app. Store as many wg-quick profiles as you like (AES-256-GCM encrypted) and assign them per playlist. Source-specific tunnel, independent of the system-wide VPN profile.

Speech

Voice Search & Control

Just say what you want to watch. The built-in speech recognition searches across all channels, movies, series and EPG entries simultaneously. Core player functions can also be controlled by voice commands.

Mobile UX

Touch Gestures (Mobile)

On phones & tablets: Swipe left/right to seek, swipe up/down on the right edge for volume and on the left edge for brightness. Swipe up/down in the center to change channels. Double-tap to pause, long-press for the quick menu — all without any visible buttons cluttering the picture.

HDR → SDR

HDR Tone-Mapping

HDR streams on SDR devices? The player enables the HDR-to-SDR tone-mapping provided by the operating system (Android 13+) or the device's hardware decoder via the official Media3 API. The actual color space conversion is performed by the platform — the player itself does not apply any image manipulation.

Failover

Smart Auto-Failover

If a stream entry that the user added is temporarily unreachable (e.g. network error or HTTP timeout), the player can automatically switch to a backup URL the user has configured in the same playlist. No access controls are bypassed, no restrictions are circumvented and no third-party accounts are used — failover only ever targets sources the user has legitimately entered into their own playlist.

Test Risk-Free

Try before you buy.

Download the app and test it directly on your TV. Just enter the code demo on the activation screen. You get the full VIP experience for 7 days. It requires no account and no payment data.

Fair testing without compromises:
  • 7 Days Runtime: The demo automatically expires after exactly one week.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I manage multiple lists?

Yes. You can add as many sources as you like and combine them seamlessly into one large channel list. If channels overlap, the app bundles them intelligently.

Does the player support DRM?

Yes — exclusively through the official Android / Media3 DRM interfaces. The player supports ClearKey as well as hardware-backed DRM decoding (e.g. Widevine), where provided by the device. It allows the user to set specific HTTP headers and standard licence parameters so that legally licensed streams can be played back smoothly. The player does not generate any licence keys, does not circumvent any technical protection measures and does not convert between DRM schemes.

How does MultiView work?

With MultiView you can watch two streams simultaneously. Choose from the menu between a symmetrical split-screen (50/50) or a Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode. The audio intelligently focuses on the active window.

Which formats are supported?

Almost everything: M3U8 (HLS), MPD (DASH), ISM (Smooth Streaming) and MPEG-TS. If the URL lacks an extension, our player intelligently analyzes the byte stream in real time.

How do I pass special stream parameters or DRM data?

You have two options: append parameters directly via the pipe symbol (|) or use the established Kodi properties (#KODIPROP). The engine forwards the HTTP headers, User-Agents and standard DRM parameters you supply unchanged to the official Android player APIs, so your legally licensed streams can be played back.

Can I pause live streams?

Yes. With Local Timeshift you can pause running streams at any time. The buffer (up to 1 GB) is stored exclusively locally on your device. This purely local cache strategy makes playback more robust against typical manifest errors.

Which EPG formats are supported?

The player supports standard XMLTV files. Whether it's a raw .xml or a compressed .xml.gz / .gz file, our engine reads the "Magic Bytes" of the stream and decompresses EPG data blazingly fast and automatically right in the RAM.

How does Kids Mode work?

Kids Mode allows you to whitelist family-friendly groups. To unlock, you use a custom arrow-key sequence on your remote. There is intentionally no master password! If you forget your sequence, you must clear the app data via Android TV settings.

Some channels are very quiet, others are loud. What can I do?

Activate the "Loudness Equalizer" in the player settings. It intelligently balances volume differences. Note: If you use "Audio Passthrough" to send unaltered audio to an AV receiver, the equalizer automatically disables itself to protect the raw bitstream.

Does the player support VOD (Movies & Series)?

Yes. M3U playlists or portals containing movies and series are parsed and structured perfectly. The integrated Smart Resume reliably saves your playback progress, allowing you to binge-watch seamlessly.

Is there a recording feature?

Yes! With the integrated PVR you can record streams. Schedule recordings via the EPG and save them on your local storage, a USB drive, or directly to your NAS (SMB/WebDAV). The recording feature may only be used for content for which you hold the corresponding recording rights.

Privacy Policy

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. This Privacy Policy informs you in accordance with Art. 13 GDPR about the type, scope, and purpose of processing personal data within our website, the app "ViPDashPlayer Pro", and our support forum.

1. Data Controller (within the meaning of the GDPR)
[Name & address will be added once the trade license has been obtained]
E-mail: vipdashplayer@web.de

2. Website Hosting (Data Processing Agreement)
This website is hosted by STRATO AG, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin, Germany. A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) under Art. 28 GDPR is in place with Strato. All data is processed exclusively on servers located within the European Union. Strato privacy policy: strato.de/datenschutz

3. What Data We Process and Why

  • Server log files (IP addresses): Every time you visit our website or trigger the online activation flow of the app, your device automatically transmits technical data (IP address, date, time, user agent, requested resource). Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in stability and security). Retention period: a maximum of 14 days, then automatic deletion.
  • Activation code & device ID: When you activate the Premium version, we store an anonymized device identifier generated locally on the device (Device ID, no real name, no hardware serial number) together with your activation code. This is used solely to enforce the contractually agreed device limit. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of contract). Retention period: for the duration of the license plus statutory commercial retention periods.
  • Device change log: When you add, remove or edit devices in the customer portal, we log the type of change (add/delete/edit), the affected device ID(s) and a cryptographic hash (SHA-256) of your IP address — never the IP address in plaintext. This serves traceability for support requests and protection against misuse. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in traceability and abuse prevention). Retention period: change entries for the duration of the license; IP hashes are automatically anonymized after 90 days.
  • Page view statistics: For anonymous analysis of our website usage, we store a SHA-256 hash of your IP address, the page visited and a timestamp per page view. Your IP address is never stored in plaintext. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in website usage analysis). Retention period: a maximum of 180 days, then automatic deletion.
  • Consent documentation: When purchasing a license, we store the timestamp of your agreement to our Terms and Privacy Policy, the timestamp of your waiver of the right of withdrawal (§ 356(5) BGB), the PayPal transaction ID as proof, and your e-mail address. In the forum, we store the timestamp of your privacy consent and a SHA-256 hash of your IP address. This serves our accountability obligation under Art. 5(2) GDPR. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR (legal obligation). Retention period: for the duration of statutory retention periods (at least 3 years after the end of the contract pursuant to § 195 BGB, up to 10 years pursuant to § 147 AO for tax-relevant transactions).
  • Support forum (custom software): Our forum is a custom PHP application running on the same server (Strato, EU). We store your chosen username, your e-mail address (for Magic-Link/OTP login) and the posts you publish yourself. Once logged in, you may optionally set a password; this is stored exclusively as a cryptographic hash (bcrypt/Argon2) and never in plaintext. If you use the "Keep me signed in" option at login, we additionally store a randomly generated remember token in an HttpOnly cookie and in the database so that you don't have to request a new OTP code on every visit. To prevent spam and abuse, we also briefly store your IP address (table forum_rate_limits) together with the type of action (e.g. login attempt, post creation) and a timestamp in order to limit the number of attempts per time window. For general page-view statistics (table page_views) your IP address is stored exclusively as a SHA-256 hash, never in plaintext. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract initiation/performance), or Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent for forum posts); for rate limiting and remember tokens Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in abuse prevention and user convenience). Retention period: forum account and posts until you request deletion; remember tokens until logout or expiry (max. 30 days); rate-limit IP hashes a maximum of 24 hours, then automatic deletion.
  • Sending login & transaction e-mails (Resend): For sending login codes (forum) and license e-mails (purchases) we use the e-mail service Resend by Resend Inc., Delaware (USA). Only your e-mail address and the respective mail content are transferred. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Note on the actual sending location: The actual mail delivery is handled via Amazon SES infrastructure in the region eu-west-1 (Dublin, Ireland) and therefore takes place within the European Union. Only account metadata and delivery statistics in the Resend dashboard are processed in the USA. Third-country transfer to the USA: For this part, Resend is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) under Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR are in place. A data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR with Resend Inc. is in place (automatically effective upon signup via the Resend Terms). Retention period: login codes are discarded immediately after sending; license e-mails are archived until the statutory retention periods expire.
  • Cookies & sessions: We use only technically necessary session cookies (PHPSESSID) to maintain your login state in the dashboard and forum. We do not use any tracking, analytics or advertising cookies. Legal basis: § 25(2)(2) TDDDG, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Retention period: until the end of the browser session or logout.

4. Payment Processing (PayPal)
When you purchase a license, payment is processed exclusively via PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg. We ourselves do not receive or store any credit card, bank account or payment data — we only receive a payment confirmation and the transaction details required to fulfil the contract. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Note on third-country transfer: PayPal may transfer data to the USA for intra-group purposes. PayPal provides Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) under Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR for this purpose and is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
PayPal privacy policy: paypal.com/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full

5. Data Processing inside the App (Zero-Cloud)
The "ViPDashPlayer Pro" app contains no analytics, advertising or crash trackers (no Google Firebase Analytics, no Crashlytics, no AppsFlyer or similar). Your playback behavior (which streams or channels you watch) is neither collected, stored nor shared with third parties.

Local Web Dashboard (NanoHTTPD): If you enable the built-in remote dashboard, the app starts a local HTTP server reachable only inside your own Wi-Fi network. At no point are any data sent to our servers or to third parties.

Encrypted backups (AES-GCM): Backups of your settings and playlists are encrypted using AES-GCM and stored exclusively locally on your device or on the storage location you choose (USB, NAS). We have no access to backup contents at any time.

§ 6 Withdrawal Instructions for Consumers

Right of Withdrawal
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day of the conclusion of the contract.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us — [Name of the provider will be added once the trade license has been obtained], [address], e-mail: vipdashplayer@web.de — of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or an e-mail). You may use the model withdrawal form below, but it is not obligatory.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of Withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and not later than fourteen days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

IMPORTANT — EARLY EXPIRATION OF THE RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL:
For a contract on the supply of digital content not delivered on a tangible medium, the right of withdrawal expires under § 356(5) BGB if the provider has begun execution of the contract after the consumer has (a) expressly consented to execution beginning before the end of the withdrawal period, (b) confirmed awareness that the right of withdrawal expires upon such consent and commencement, and (c) been provided with a confirmation in text form pursuant to § 312f BGB.

By clicking the mandatory checkbox in the order process ("Yes, I expressly consent to the commencement of contract execution before the expiry of the withdrawal period. I acknowledge that my right of withdrawal expires upon commencement of execution."), the consumer provides this consent. The right of withdrawal therefore expires definitively upon generation and dispatch or deposit of the activation code.

Model Withdrawal Form (pursuant to Annex 2 of Art. 246a § 1(2)(1)(1) EGBGB)

§ 7 No Refund After Provision — "all sales final"

NO EXCHANGE, NO RETURN, NO REFUND:
The product offered here consists exclusively of digital content (a software activation code). Upon generation and provision of the activation code, the contract is fully performed and the right of withdrawal pursuant to § 6 has expired. A withdrawal, return, exchange or (partial) refund of the purchase price is thereafter excluded — all sales are final.

Excluded from this are only mandatory statutory warranty claims of the consumer in the event of a defective product pursuant to §§ 327 et seq. BGB (see § 10 of these T&C).

§ 8 Rights of Use, License, Device Limit

(1) Upon receipt of payment, the customer receives a simple, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable right to use the premium features of "ViPDashPlayer Pro" within the tariff purchased and for its duration.
(2) The activation code may only be used within the device limit agreed at the time of purchase (e.g. 1 or 5 simultaneously active devices). Management of linked devices takes place in the customer portal. Sharing, making publicly available, commercially renting or publishing the code is prohibited.
(3) In case of a justified suspicion of account sharing, circumvention of the device limit or other misuse, the provider is entitled, after one warning, to permanently block the affected activation code without refund.
(4) Decompilation, reverse engineering, removal of protection mechanisms or modification of the software is only permitted within the limits strictly allowed by law (§§ 69d, 69e UrhG).

§ 9 Customer Obligations, No Circumvention, Content Responsibility

(1) The customer is solely responsible for which content, playlists or streams they import into and play back through the software. The customer warrants that they hold the required rights or consents from the rights holders.
(2) Use of the software to play back copyright-protected content without the required permission of the rights holder is prohibited. Any third-party claims resulting therefrom shall be borne solely by the customer.
(3) The customer shall indemnify the provider against all third-party claims arising from unlawful use of the software by the customer, including reasonable costs of legal defense.
(4) The customer shall treat login credentials for the customer portal and the activation code as confidential and protect them from access by unauthorized third parties.

§ 10 Warranty

(1) Statutory warranty provisions apply. For defects of the software, the provider is liable towards consumers under §§ 327 et seq. BGB (consumer contract for digital products) or, in business dealings, under §§ 434 et seq. BGB.
(2) In case of a defect, the customer is initially entitled to supplementary performance (restoration of the contractual condition). If this fails or is refused, the customer may reduce the price or — in the case of not insignificant defects — withdraw from the contract.
(3) Insignificant deviations of the delivered software from the descriptions on the website do not constitute a defect. In particular, the provider is not liable for the permanent compatibility of specific streaming formats, playlists or third-party services of the customer, provided the software conforms to generally accepted standards (HLS, DASH, MP4, M3U).

§ 11 Liability

(1) The provider is liable without limitation in cases of intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the provisions of the German Product Liability Act, and within the scope of any guarantee assumed by the provider.
(2) In the case of slightly negligent breach of a duty whose fulfillment is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on which the customer may regularly rely (cardinal duty), the liability of the provider is limited to the foreseeable damage typical of the contract at the time of its conclusion.
(3) Otherwise, liability for slightly negligent damages is excluded.
(4) The provider is not liable for the continuous availability of the app on third-party platforms (e.g. Google Play Store, Amazon Appstore) or for damages arising from the use of incompatible streams by the customer.
(5) Any further liability of the provider is excluded. Detailed user-responsibility information is provided in the .

§ 12 Data Protection

The collection and processing of personal data of the customer is governed exclusively by the provider\'s , which is accessible at any time via the corresponding link in the footer of the website and acknowledged by confirming the corresponding checkbox in the order process.

§ 13 Customer Support

(1) Customer support is provided by e-mail at vipdashplayer@web.de as well as via the public Support Forum.
(2) No specific response time is guaranteed unless the selected tariff expressly specifies otherwise.

§ 14 Consumer Dispute Resolution (§ 36 VSBG)

The European Commission provided an online dispute resolution (ODR) platform until 20 July 2025; this platform has been shut down following the repeal of Regulation (EU) No 524/2013 by Regulation (EU) 2024/3228 and is no longer available.
The provider is neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (§ 36(1)(1) VSBG).

§ 15 Amendment of these T&C

(1) The provider is entitled to amend these T&C with effect for the future, insofar as this is necessary for compelling reasons — in particular due to changes in legislation, supreme court case law, technical changes or extensions of the scope of services — and does not unreasonably disadvantage the customer.
(2) The changes shall be notified to the customer in text form at least six weeks before their planned entry into force. If the customer does not object within this period, the changes shall be deemed accepted; the customer will be expressly informed of this in the notification of amendment.
(3) For individual contracts that have already been fully performed (in particular for activation codes already delivered), the version valid at the time of contract conclusion remains applicable.

§ 16 Availability, Updates and Discontinuation of Service

(1) The provider is under no obligation to operate, maintain, update or further develop the software "ViPDashPlayer Pro", the associated website or the activation server indefinitely. The customer has no claim to specific updates, new features or permanent availability of the infrastructure.
(2) The provider may discontinue operation of the software, the website or individual services (e.g. activation server, customer portal, forum) in whole or in part at any time. Licenses already paid for remain usable until the end of their respective term; beyond that, no further obligations arise for the provider — in particular no right to a refund, further development, substitute performance or damages for lost use.
(3) Should the activation server or online verification be permanently shut down, the provider will endeavour to provide an offline activation mechanism or a final working version of the app, but is not obliged to do so.
(4) Material changes (e.g. reduction of functionality) or complete discontinuation of the service will — where reasonable — be communicated to the customer in advance with appropriate notice by e-mail or on the website.

§ 17 Final Provisions

(1) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies exclusively, to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the state in which the consumer has his habitual residence remain unaffected.
(2) If the customer is a merchant, legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contractual relationship is the registered office of the provider.
(3) Should individual provisions of these T&C be wholly or partly invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by the statutory regulation.
(4) Side agreements, changes or additions to this contract require text form to be effective. This also applies to any waiver of this text-form requirement.

Disclaimer & Licenses

LEGAL DISCLAIMER:
ViPDashPlayer Pro is solely a media player application (blank software). The app does NOT contain any pre-loaded media content, channels, movies, series, playlists or references to commercial streaming services. The user is solely responsible for providing their own content or playlists (M3U/URL) and for only playing back content for which they hold the necessary rights.

NO CIRCUMVENTION OF TECHNICAL PROTECTION MEASURES:
The player does not circumvent any technical protection measures. All DRM handling (e.g. ClearKey, Widevine) is performed exclusively through the official Android / Media3 interfaces. The player does not generate licence keys, does not manipulate CDM sessions and does not convert between DRM schemes. Hardware DRM is executed entirely by the device's hardware-backed Trusted Execution Environment, not by the player.

NO AFFILIATION WITH THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS:
The developer has no business, contractual or promotional affiliation with any commercial streaming or pay-TV provider. The developer expressly does not permit, endorse or promote the use of this player for streaming copyright-protected material without the explicit permission of the copyright holder. Any user who does so acts entirely on their own responsibility.
