Five Steps

Quick Start

  1. Get Your Access

    Order a plan on our subscription page or start a free 24-hour trial. We confirm everything on WhatsApp and activation happens within minutes.

  2. Install Your Player App

    Pick any app from our Downloads page — official Android APKs with Downloader codes, Windows & Mac players, iOS App Store links, Roku, LG and Smart STB.

  3. Log In With Your Credentials

    After activation we send your login details on WhatsApp — typically a portal URL, username and password (Xtream Codes), or an M3U playlist link. Enter them in your player and let it sync.

  4. Optimise Your Connection

    Use wired Ethernet or 5GHz Wi-Fi. Aim for 15+ Mbps for 4K and 50+ Mbps for 8K streams.

  5. Personalise Your Experience

    Browse the channel list, favourite what you watch most, explore the EPG TV guide and adjust video quality to taste.

Step By Step

Setup By Device

Open your device below. App names link to the Downloads page where every code and install link lives.

Smart TV — Samsung · LG · Android TV

IBO Player · TiviMate 8K Pro · Smart STB
  1. Open your TV's app store (Smart Hub / LG Content Store / Google Play) and install IBO Player — or TiviMate 8K Pro on Android TV.
  2. Open the app and note the Device ID and Key shown on screen.
  3. On a phone or PC, visit iboiptv.com/device and link your playlist — enter your M3U link or Xtream Codes (portal, username, password) from WhatsApp.
  4. Restart the app — channels and EPG will load.
Tip: best results on Ethernet or 5GHz Wi-Fi. For TiviMate, use the Xtream Codes login. Samsung/LG can also use Smart STB (MAG).

Android — Phones & TV Boxes

Official 8K apps · TiviMate 8K Pro
  1. Install any of our official Android apps — use the Downloader app with the code shown on each app's card, or download the APK directly.
  2. Open the player → Add Playlist → choose Xtream Codes or M3U.
  3. Enter your portal, username and password — or paste your M3U URL — from WhatsApp.
  4. Wait for the sync, then set up EPG, groups and favourites.
Tip: on TV boxes, TiviMate 8K Pro with Xtream login gives the smoothest channel zapping. If buffering, switch decoder (HW / HW+ / SW) and increase the buffer.

Fire TV Stick

Fast 8K · Strong 8K · 8K Player VIP · TiviMate 8K Pro
  1. On Fire TV: Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options → enable Apps from Unknown Sources.
  2. Install Downloader from the Amazon Appstore.
  3. Open Downloader and enter the code for your chosen app — every code is on our Downloads page.
  4. Install the player, open it and add your playlist (Xtream Codes or M3U from WhatsApp).
Tip: after install, hold the Menu button to reach player settings quickly.

iPhone · iPad · Apple TV

Smarters Pro · GSE Smart IPTV · IBO Player
  1. Install Smarters Pro or GSE Smart IPTV from the App Store.
  2. Open the app → choose Login with Xtream Codes or M3U playlist.
  3. Enter the credentials sent on WhatsApp after activation.
  4. On Apple TV with IBO Player: copy the Device ID & Key, link your playlist at iboiptv.com/device, then restart the app.
Tip: iOS may pause background apps to save battery — if a stream stops after switching apps, just return to the player. This is normal iOS behaviour.

Windows & Mac

Strong8K VIP Player · 8K Player · Web Player
  1. Download our desktop players for Windows 10, Windows 11 or macOS and run the installer.
  2. Open the player and log in with your Xtream Codes or M3U details from WhatsApp.
  3. No install needed? Use the Web Player straight in your browser.
  4. Fallback: VLC can open your M3U directly — Media → Open Network Stream.
Tip: for the best picture on laptops, plug into Ethernet or sit close to your 5GHz router.
Quick Fixes

Troubleshooting

Buffering or freezing

Switch the decoder in your app settings (HW → HW+ → SW), increase the buffer size, and move to Ethernet or 5GHz Wi-Fi. Check your speed: 15+ Mbps for 4K, 50+ Mbps for 8K.

Channels won't load

Re-check your portal URL, username and password exactly as sent on WhatsApp — no extra spaces. Restart the app, then the device. Still stuck? Message support.

EPG not showing

Give the guide a few minutes to sync on first login. In TiviMate-style players, refresh the EPG source in settings and confirm the Xtream login was used.

App crashes or errors

Update your player app to the latest version — outdated apps are the most common cause of playback errors. Reinstall from the Downloads page if needed.
