Set up IPTV on
macOS.
Macs run IPTV players from the App Store or from a developer download. Either way, you sign in with the Xtream Codes login details we send you for the best experience.
Before you start
- A Mac
- An Apple ID
- Your login details from us
Step by step
Open the App Store

Install and open it
Install the player and open it to reach the login screen.

Select "Login with Xtream Codes API" or similar option for the full TV guide and VOD.
Enter your credentials
Type in the username, password and server address we sent you, then save.
Wait for content to sync
The app downloads channels, films, series and builds the TV guide.
- VLC with M3U URL
VLC for macOS plays a M3U playlist link via File, then Open Network. Handy as a quick check, but no TV guide.
