Setup guide

HushPlay is a paid app; its fee goes to the developer, separately from your IPTV plan. The Chromecast with Google TV decodes 4K, so 4K feeds play at full resolution on a 4K screen. If it doesn't suit you, the 7-day money-back guarantee applies, and because plans are prepaid there's nothing to cancel later.

  • Your login from WhatsApp: server URL (with port), username and password

  • Order on WhatsApp from the buy page. Your login details come back in the same chat, usually within a minute.
  • Search Google Play for HushPlay with the remote or the voice button and install it. Where Play doesn't carry it, Downloader can fetch it from the developer's site once unknown apps are allowed.
  • Choose the Xtream Codes login in HushPlay and enter the server URL (including http:// and the port), the username and the password exactly as sent.
  • Give the first sync a couple of minutes, then hide the groups you never use and favorite the rest.

Settings that help on the Chromecast with Google TV

  • Use the HDMI extender that came in the box if the port is cramped; it helps Wi-Fi reception and heat.
  • Clear the player's cache from the system app settings if the guide starts lagging.
  • An Ethernet adapter is the biggest single upgrade for a stick on weak Wi-Fi.
  • Favorites: build a list so the first screen shows the channels you actually use.

What you'll see on first launch

Expect a short wait on first sign-in while HushPlay downloads the playlist and guide. Then you'll see channel groups by category and country; open one, highlight a channel, and the guide shows what's on now and next.
