An external player for Telegram videos

Looking for an external player for Telegram, or a way to play Telegram videos in VLC? TMPlayer is one: a free Telegram video player app that signs in to your own account and plays the videos in your chats, with nothing to save first. On Android it can also pass a video on to VLC, MX Player or any other player.

TMPlayer is the external player

On Android TV, Fire TV, Android phones, Windows, Linux and Mac.

Subtitles and every audio track

MKV, MP4, AVI and TS, with embedded subtitles, image-based ones included, and every audio track, switched while the video plays.

Picks up where you stopped

Your place is kept for Continue watching, and a show's episodes are in order on a page of their own.

No file to save first

A video starts within seconds and keeps downloading while it plays, so there is no file to save and open somewhere else.

手机上 TMPlayer 的剧集页面:演示剧集 Skybound Academy,带有封面图、简介和继续观看第二集的按钮。
在 Android 手机上一部剧集的页面,有封面图、简介和继续播放按钮。
Windows 或 Linux 上的 TMPlayer 桌面应用:一个聊天里的演示视频以海报显示,每张都有年份、大小和分辨率,聊天名称悬浮在顶部,操作栏在底部。
在电脑上一个聊天的视频以海报形式显示,通过 mpv 播放。

Play a Telegram video in VLC or MX Player

On Android: a phone, a tablet, an Android TV or a Fire TV.

  1. Install the other player

    Install VLC, MX Player or the player you like on the same device, from its store.

  2. Play the video in TMPlayer

    Open the chat in TMPlayer and start the video.

  3. Open the player's menu

    On a phone, tap More options in the player's top bar. On a TV, press Down for the button row and choose More at its end; holding OK while the controls show goes straight to the next step.

  4. Choose Open in another app

    Pick VLC, MX Player or any other player in the list. TMPlayer saves your place first, so when you come back you carry on from there.

What the other player gets

  • A finished download goes over whole.
  • A video still downloading goes over as far as it has got, and TMPlayer warns that the other player will stop there. The download carries on in the background.
  • A video with nothing on the device yet cannot go over, and TMPlayer says so.
  • A video from a chat that does not allow saving stays in TMPlayer: Open in another app is not in its menu.

It is also the way out for the few formats TMPlayer does not play on Android, such as WMV, RealMedia and Ogg video: when one will not play, the player offers Open in another app. Every format, by platform.

On a computer

On Windows, Linux and Mac, TMPlayer plays every video itself through mpv, with its subtitles, every audio track and keyboard shortcuts.

A video that is downloaded, or already all on the computer, also has Open in another app in its menu. It opens the file in the app the computer uses for that kind of file, such as VLC when VLC is the default. A chat that does not allow saving keeps its videos in TMPlayer here too.
