Setup guide

iMPlayer is a paid app; its fee goes to the developer, separately from your IPTV plan. Resolution depends on the screen: HD is plenty on a phone or laptop, and 4K is worth it only on a 4K monitor or TV. Choose a plan, message us on WhatsApp, and expect your login details in about a minute.

Installing iMPlayer

iMPlayer on Chromebook: Installing iMPlayer

Order on WhatsApp from the buy page. Your login details come back in the same chat, usually within a minute.
Open the Play Store on the Chromebook and install iMPlayer; it runs as an Android app in its own window.
Select Add user or Add playlist in iMPlayer, choose Xtream Codes, and fill in the three fields from your login message: server URL with its port, username, password.
Give the first sync a couple of minutes, then hide the groups you never use and favorite the rest.

After you sign in

Expect a short wait on first sign-in while iMPlayer 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.
