Setup guide

MAC Media Player is a paid app; its fee goes to the developer, separately from your IPTV plan. Whether it plays 4K depends on the model, so check the spec sheet before choosing 4K feeds. Plans are prepaid and never auto-renew, and you have 7 days to ask for your money back.

Installing MAC Media Player

  • Pick a plan length, send the order on WhatsApp, and keep the reply open: it holds the server URL, username and password.
  • Search Google Play for MAC Media Player 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.
  • 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.
  • Give the first sync a couple of minutes, then hide the groups you never use and favorite the rest.

Settings that help on the Philips Android TV

  • Use the TV's Ethernet port when the router is close.
  • Switch the picture mode to Standard or Sports for live games; Vivid looks harsh on compressed feeds.
  • Install TV software updates; the app store serves builds matched to your firmware.
  • Portal URL: leave it exactly as sent, including any trailing /c/.

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.
  • Channels but no guide: refresh the EPG in MAC Media Player's settings, or give it a few minutes after the first sign-in.
  • Guide off by an hour or more: check the Philips Android TV's time zone first, then the EPG offset in MAC Media Player.
  • Picture but no sound: set the Philips Android TV's audio output to stereo or PCM; some soundbars refuse surround passthrough from IPTV feeds.
