Setup guide

KTN Player is a paid app; its fee goes to the developer, separately from your IPTV plan. The Xiaomi Mi Box S 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.

  • Order on WhatsApp from the buy page. Your login details come back in the same chat, usually within a minute.

  • Select Add user or Add playlist in KTN Player, choose Xtream Codes, and fill in the three fields from your login message: server URL with its port, username, password.
  • Let KTN Player download the channel list and guide (a minute or two the first time), then add your regular channels to favorites.

  • Use the Ethernet port if your box has one.
  • Leave the box on standby rather than unplugging it, so the guide stays fresh.
  • Turn on frame-rate matching in the box's display settings so 60fps sports don't judder.
  • Hide groups: remove countries and categories you never watch to speed up scrolling.

What you'll see on first launch

The first launch is the busy one: KTN Player fetches thousands of channels, the movie and series catalogs, and guide data. Give it a minute or two, then start building favorites so later launches open straight to what you watch.
