In the next article we are going to take a look at Megacubo. If you want watch tv on your computer and you do not like it Kodi or you don't want to install VLCIn the following lines we are going to see how we can enjoy Megacubo in Ubuntu.
Megacubo is a player that it will allow us to watch streaming TV channels. With this program we will be able see in our team stations from all over the world or m3u lists that we have available. So we can have our own favorite selection of channels.
With Megacubo we will also be able view torrents through magnetic links. With this, we can watch our favorite movies and series, for free and without having to wait for the download to finish. We can see a movie, a few seconds or minutes after opening it in Megacubo. This will depend on the speed of our connection.
Megacubo se "feed”From IPTV lists (M3U format) that are provided by users to the program. These types of lists are widely used in programs like Kodi and the like. These lists are something that we can love / hate, since on the one hand they give access to live broadcasts from various channels and on the other, when they are free, the broadcasts tend to disappear "overnight". Therefore, it is normal that some transmissions do not work or even work one day and not the next. If you have problems with this program, you may be interested in trying an alternative to Megacubo such as Stremio o VLC.
Unless you have a paid IPTV list or find a free list with good support, you will need to have a little patience trying different streams until you find the content you are looking for. After installing the program, when starting it we will be able to select "Exclusive mode" or "Shared mode", To be able to use our own lists or use the m3u lists shared by users.

When reading your article, thank you very much for the contribution, I installed and uninstalled it after a while… I was disappointed. I will continue with VLC or Celluloid that give more quality and are more configurable. Anyway, thanks for the article and knowing something else.
Hello. As you say, it is another option to reproduce this type of content, but it can be an interesting option for some users. I guess it depends on what you are looking for in a player of this type. Salu2.
Hello thanks, but I'm more interested in seeing vlc, will you have a tutorial where I explain, how is it done? Thanks for your time
How do I uninstall? Please…
Hello, how do I uninstall Megacubo ???? I tried to do it by terminal but I can't!
Hello. When I tried this program I did not find an uninstaller and it does not offer you the opportunity to uninstall it from Synaptic or from the Ubuntu Software option. In my case, what I did to eliminate the program was to read the install.sh file and eliminate the directories and launchers that it was creating in the system.
sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/applications/megacubo.desktop
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/applications/megacubo.desktop
sudo rm -rf ~/.config/megacubo/
sudo rm -rf ~/.cache/megacubo/
sudo rm -rf /opt/megacubo/
And with this I think I did not leave anything to eliminate. Salu2.

Hello. In its day when I tried this program I uninstalled it by following the steps that you can read in the comment before yours. I hope it helps you and it works for you as it worked for me in its day. Salu2.
