MKCinema's player was built for long nights on the sofa and quick episodes on a train.
- Night Mode audio. Brings whispers and explosions closer together, with Vocal Boost and Spatial Widen presets.
- Subtitles that fit. OpenSubtitles built in, your own files by drag and drop, and a sync strip you drag into place.
- Made for touch. Double-tap to skip, pinch to fill, a lock button, and controls that stay clear of the notch.
- Audio rescue. With your own MKCinema server and ffmpeg, Dolby and DTS sound in MKV files plays in the browser.
Watch together
Same scene,
Same scene,
different sofas.
Start a party, share the code, and everyone watches the same title from their own sources. Drift is corrected quietly, so nobody hears the punchline first.
- Play, pause and seek in sync for the whole room.
- Chat, reactions and push-to-talk, peer to peer.
- No extension or extra app to install.

- No tracking ads. MKCinema is supported by donations, not by selling your attention.

"Typical addon player" describes the common baseline, not any one product. Casting to Chromecast is not part of MKCinema yet; on a TV, open MKCinema in the TV's browser or hand the stream to an app like VLC.

FAQ
Questions,
Questions,
answered.
What is MKCinema?
A premium web player for Stremio-compatible addons. It brings your catalogues, sources and subtitles together in one library, with a player built for phones, tablets and big screens.
Does MKCinema provide movies or shows?
No. MKCinema hosts no titles, channels or streams. Catalogues come from Cinemeta, subtitles from OpenSubtitles, and the only built-in source is official trailers. Anything else comes from addons you choose to install, and you are responsible for using them lawfully where you live.
Is it free and open source?
Yes to both. Every feature is included, with no ads and no paid tier, and the code is public on GitHub under GPL-3.0. If you enjoy it, you can support development with an optional PayPal donation.
Do I need an account?
No. Everything works without one. Signing in with email and password adds sync of your library, progress, addons and settings across your devices.
What is debrid, and which service should I use?
A debrid service fetches files for you and streams them back over a fast, direct connection. MKCinema works with TorBox, Real-Debrid, AllDebrid and Premiumize using your own key. If you're new to it, we recommend TorBox; Settings › Get started walks you through it.
Why do you recommend VLC?
Browsers can't decode some common formats, such as HEVC video or Dolby and DTS sound. VLC plays nearly everything, and MKCinema hands a stream to it in one tap. If you can't install a player, turn on Browser only mode.
Where are my keys stored?
In your browser, and, if you sign in, in your own account row, which row-level security keeps readable only by you. Turn off Sync keys with my account in Settings › Debrid to keep them on one device. Keys are only ever sent to the service they belong to.
Which devices does MKCinema run on?
Android phones and tablets, Windows 10 and 11, macOS 11 or later, and 64-bit Linux all have their own app above. Any other computer can use it in Chrome, Edge or Firefox. iPhone and iPad are not supported. On a TV, open it in the TV's browser, or hand streams to VLC or Infuse. Chromecast casting isn't built in yet.
Are the downloads safe?
Every app is MKCinema itself, opening mkcinema.pages.dev in its own window, and its full source is on GitHub. The APK is signed with MKCinema's own key and only asks for internet access and, for push-to-talk in watch parties, your microphone. The Windows and Mac apps aren't code-signed by Microsoft or Apple yet, so each asks you to confirm the first time (see the install steps above). Download them only from this site or the GitHub repository.
Can I move over from Stremio?
Yes. Settings › Account › Import from Stremio copies your library, progress and addons. Your Stremio password is used once and never stored.
The lights are dimming.
Open MKCinema now. It takes seconds, and your seat is already waiting.
