### Can I use MinPluto on this device?
|
||
|
||
For devices with a web browser built-in, MinPluto will run in it. However, MinPluto does not have a dedicated app for devices like Roku, Amazon Firestick, Google TV, and any other Smart TV device along with gaming consoles.
|
||
|
||
For mobile users, you can install MinPluto from your browser as an app, if the browser has that option.
|
||
|
||
### Will there be a Android/iOS app?
|
||
|
||
For now, MinPluto is planned to be only a web application that can be accessed via a web browser. There are currently no plans to build a mobile application.
|
||
|
||
### What data does MinPluto collect?
|
||
|
||
MinPluto by itself does not collect any data about you or any other user.
|
||
|
||
If you decide to opt-in to the telemtry, the Telemtry page will list what is logged and what is not logged.
|
||
|
||
However, please keep in mind that on other MinPluto instances, the instance operator can log your IP address like any other server could.

### What is a YouTube/Twitch frontend?
|
||
|
||
A frontend is it’s own UI and service that serves data from another platform such as YouTube, Twitch, X, Reddit, etc.
|
||
|
||
### Why use a different frontend and not use the real thing?
|
||
|
||
There are multiple reasons to use a frontend like MinPluto. Reasons such as like privacy, to avoid being tracked from invasive companies; speed, to avoid the bloated pages that these platforms have…frontend alternatives are commonly lightweight; and another reason is to avoid ads, all frontends don’t serve ads like these platforms do.

||
### Why is the player different for Twitch Streams?
|
||
|
||
In order to support playing live streams for MinPluto a technology known as HLS(HTTP Live Streaming) has to be added to a supported player, in this case VideoJS. Using your browser's built-in player will not work and this has not been tested for for MinPluto's custom player yet. |
