Raudo is the player, not the content

Last updated: 2026 · Informational draft, pending review before publishing.

What Raudo is

Raudo is a media player application for Windows 10 and 11. Its only job is to play back the content of the playlist that you, the user, choose to load into it.

Just as a video player opens the file you point it to, Raudo opens the M3U/M3U8 playlist or Xtream Codes connection you enter. The app is a neutral tool: it does not know, choose or provide what you will play.

What Raudo does NOT do

So there is no doubt, Raudo does none of the following:

• It does not offer, host, distribute or sell channels, playlists, streams or content of any kind.
• It ships with no default playlist and no sample content: the app installs empty.
• It does not recommend, link to or point you toward any specific providers, playlists or content sources.
• It does not unlock, decrypt or bypass any protection or access restriction.
• It hosts no files on our servers: there is no catalog for us to manage.

You bring your own playlist

To use Raudo you need your own playlist: an M3U/M3U8 link or file, or the Xtream Codes login details (host, username and password) provided by your own provider.

You are the one who obtains that playlist, and you are responsible for making sure it comes from a legitimate source and that you have the right to access that content. Raudo plays no part in how you get your playlist or what it contains.

Lawful use and our stance on piracy

Raudo does not endorse or promote piracy or any unlawful use. Our Terms of Use expressly prohibit using the app to access content without authorization or in any way that breaks the law or infringes the rights of others.

How you use Raudo with your playlist is your responsibility and must comply with the laws of your country and any agreements with your content provider.

Content removal (DMCA) and legal notices

Raudo does not host, store or distribute any content, playlists or streams. As a result, there is no material hosted by us that we could take down in response to a DMCA or similar request.

If you are a rights holder and believe a third party is distributing your content, the request should go to whoever actually hosts or distributes it, not to a player. Even so, we handle any legitimate legal query through the contact below.

Such provider content and its legality are entirely outside Raudo's control.
