Showbox Alternatives

As what you can see from the good and bad things listed above, an alternative player that with streaming feature might be a better idea to avoid those downsides including the risks and errors of Showbox.

Here are some good ones to recommend:

VLC is a free streaming player that can be used as the cross-platform streaming solution and the settings is also easy. Simply open the VLC media layer and press CTRL + N or click on the Media menu and click Open Network Stream. Enter your IP address and port.

5KPlayer on another hand supports multi-region 4K UHD, 3D DVD video playback and can seamlessly stream those video contents to AirPlay enabled displaying devices.

Besides, these players can also download online videos by entering the video URL directly for instant watching experience.

Last but not least, Leawo Blu-ray Player is an excellent replacement to play all kinds of videos as well except the lack of streaming function at this moment. Leawo team however, is already working on it and hopefully to have this feature added soon in the next versions.
