Setup guide

iMPlayer is a paid app; its fee goes to the developer, separately from your IPTV plan. On a phone or laptop screen, HD feeds already look sharp; 4K only pays off on a 4K display. There's no contract and no card on file waiting to be charged again: plans are prepaid, with a 7-day refund window.

  • Pick a plan length, send the order on WhatsApp, and keep the reply open: it holds the server URL, username and password.

  • 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.

  • Connect to a TV over HDMI for a bigger picture with the same app.
  • Use Ethernet for 4K on a desktop or docked laptop.
  • Keep VLC installed as a backup player for testing the stream.
  • Favorites: build a list so the first screen shows the channels you actually use.

The first time you open it

iMPlayer shows a loading bar while it pulls the channel list, then opens on its home screen. Live TV, movies and series appear as separate sections, and the guide fills in over the next minute or two. On the iMac, the first load is the slowest.

  • "Invalid credentials": retype the server URL with http:// and the port, and check capital letters; the username and password are case-sensitive.
  • Buffering on sports only: run a speed test on the iMac. Below about 25 Mbps, use the HD version of the channel.
  • Picture but no sound: set the iMac's audio output to stereo or PCM; some soundbars refuse surround passthrough from IPTV feeds.
  • iMPlayer closes on its own: clear its cache, restart the iMac, and reinstall if it keeps happening.
