Raudo is the player — you bring your own playlist (M3U/M3U8 or Xtream Codes). It includes no channels or content.

Where to start

These guides assume you already have your own playlist: an M3U/M3U8 link or file, or your Xtream Codes credentials. Raudo is the player; the content is yours to bring. With that ready, each guide walks you through it in a few minutes.

Add an M3U playlist: paste your link or open a local file, then organize it into folders and favorites.
Set up Xtream Codes: sign in with host, username, and password to load live TV, movies, and series.
Set up the EPG guide: enable the grid TV guide with reminders so you never miss a thing.
Fix buffering: tune the buffer, event mode, and speed control to reach the live edge without cutouts.

New to Raudo? Start by adding your playlist, and once it's loaded, move on to the EPG guide and the smoothness settings. Each full tutorial lives in the guides menu.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need anything before following the guides?

Yes, your own playlist: an M3U/M3U8 link or file, or your Xtream Codes details (host, username, and password). Raudo includes no channels or content.

Where do I start if it's my first time?

Download Raudo, follow the guide to add your M3U or Xtream Codes playlist, and once you see it loaded, enable the EPG guide. Save the smoothness settings for last.

My video keeps cutting out, what do I do?

See the guide to fix buffering: tune the buffer, turn on “event mode” for big matches, and use the speed control to get back to the live edge.

Do these guides work on Windows 10 and 11?

Yes. Raudo is native to 64-bit Windows 10 and 11, and the steps are the same on both versions.
