IBO Player is a fast, lightweight media player available across Smart TVs (Samsung Tizen, LG webOS), Android TV, Firestick, Apple TV, and Windows. Unlike traditional IPTV apps where you enter credentials directly on your TV using a remote, IBO Player utilizes a remote web activation portal.
You simply install the application on your device to obtain a unique MAC Address and Device Key, then log into the online dashboard to upload your M3U playlist or Xtream Codes API credentials.
What You Need Before Starting
Before setting up IBO Player, ensure you have the following ready:
- Installed IBO Player App: Downloaded on your Smart TV or streaming device.
- IPTV Subscription Credentials: Either an M3U Playlist URL or Xtream Codes API details (Server URL, Username, Password) provided by your IPTV service provider.
- A Secondary Device: A smartphone, tablet, or computer connected to a web browser to access the activation portal.
Step 1: Install IBO Player on Your Streaming Device
Depending on the operating system of your streaming device, search for and download IBO Player:
- Samsung Smart TV: Open Samsung App Store > Search IBO Player > Select Install.
- LG Smart TV: Open LG Content Store / Apps > Search IBO Player > Select Install.
- Android TV & Google TV: Open Google Play Store > Search IBO Player > Select Install.

4.Input Stream Details:Fill in provider credentials.
- For M3U Playlist: Enter a Playlist Name (e.g., My IPTV) and paste your complete M3U URL.
- For Xtream Codes API: Enter a Playlist Name, Username, Password, and Server URL.
5.Save and Submit:Save playlist configuration.
Click Save or Protect Playlist. The online dashboard will confirm that your playlist has been added successfully.
