Frequently Asked Questions

DoevStream is a media center app for Android TV and Google TV, with dedicated apps for Android phones and tablets. It gives you one polished place to browse and watch, designed for the remote first.

DoevStream is a player and interface — it hosts no content. Movies and shows are ready to browse from the start, with details and artwork from TMDB. To play something, you install the Stremio-compatible add-ons you choose; they supply the streams and any extra catalogs or tabs, such as Live TV. DoevStream then brings everything together in one clean interface.

Whatever the add-ons you install provide. DoevStream hosts no content and promises no particular titles. The Movies and Shows tabs are always there to browse, but playing a title needs an add-on that offers a stream for it. Live TV and other extra tabs appear only when you install an add-on for them.

Add-ons are made and run by independent developers, not by us. We don't host, distribute or recommend specific add-ons. You find and install them yourself, and you're responsible for making sure the add-ons you choose — and what they provide — are lawful where you live.

Yes. The app is free, with no subscription and no ads. If you'd like to support development, there's an optional donate page.

The app is built to respect your privacy: no ads, no tracking, no analytics or crash-reporting SDKs, and it doesn't ask for your microphone, camera, contacts or location. Add-ons are separate, independent software, so use your judgment about what you install. Always download DoevStream from our Downloads page and check the SHA-256 checksum.

Yes — the built-in player supports 4K HDR playback. The actual quality of a title depends on the source the add-on provides and on your device.

The player supports frame-rate matching for judder-free video, hardware and software decoding, and extended audio formats including DTS and TrueHD. You can style subtitles (size, color, position, outline) and set your preferred audio and subtitle languages.

Yes. You can hand playback to an external player such as VLC, MX Player or mpv whenever you like.

Android TV and Google TV, Android phones and Android tablets, running Android 8.0 or later. More platforms may come later.

Downloads open soon on the Downloads page: one APK each for phone, TV and tablet, with the version, size, SHA-256 checksum and step-by-step install instructions. Store listings are planned for later.

Yes — a free account keeps your profiles, Continue Watching, My List and settings in sync across your devices. You sign up with your email and a password, and confirm your email with a 6-digit code we send you. Forgot your password? You reset it with a code too.

The TV and tablet apps show a QR code. Scan it with your phone while you're signed in to DoevStream there, and the TV signs in — no typing with the remote. You can also sign in with your email and password.

Yes — up to 5 profiles per account, each with its own watch history, list, language and settings.

Yes. When you make a Kids profile you set an age from 3 to 12, and it shows titles rated for that age, using ratings from TMDB. A PIN stops kids from switching to other profiles. Ratings can be missing or wrong, and add-ons can offer other content, so the filter is a help, not a guarantee — please keep an eye on what they watch.

Yes. Your profiles, Continue Watching, My List, watch progress, installed add-ons and settings sync across your TV, phone and tablet, so you can start on one screen and finish on another.

Yes. Connect Trakt to a profile and DoevStream scrobbles what you watch and syncs your watchlist, history and progress. It's optional, and you can disconnect at any time.

15 languages: Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish — with full right-to-left support for Arabic.

We keep only what's needed to run your account and sync it: your email, your profiles, watch progress, My List, settings and add-on list. No ads, no tracking, no third-party analytics, and we never sell your data. The app doesn't request microphone access. The details are in our Privacy Policy.

In the app, go to Settings → Account → Delete account. This permanently deletes your account and everything synced to it. You can also email [email protected] from your account's address.
