Setup guide

MAC Media Player 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.

MAC Media Player on Chromebook: Step by step: MAC Media Player on the Chromebook

  • Choose a plan on the pricing page and order on WhatsApp; your server URL, username and password arrive in about 60 seconds.
  • Open the Play Store on the Chromebook and install MAC Media Player; it runs as an Android app in its own window.
  • Find the MAC address in MAC Media Player's profile settings and send it to us on WhatsApp so it can be registered.
  • Paste the portal URL we reply with into MAC Media Player's portal settings and restart the app.
  • Wait for the first load to finish, open a channel to test it, and star the ones you watch most.

The first time you open it

MAC Media Player loads the portal on start. Expect a menu with live TV, video on demand and settings tiles, much like a MAG box. The channel list arrives first, the guide shortly after.

  • "Portal not found" or a blank screen: check the URL, including any trailing /c/, and confirm the MAC was registered.
  • Buffering on sports only: run a speed test on the Chromebook. Below about 25 Mbps, use the HD version of the channel.
  • Guide off by an hour or more: check the Chromebook's time zone first, then the EPG offset in MAC Media Player.
  • Picture but no sound: set the Chromebook's audio output to stereo or PCM; some soundbars refuse surround passthrough from IPTV feeds.
