Setup guide

MAC Media 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. Prepaid means no renewal surprises, and the 7-day money-back guarantee means the first week carries no risk.

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

  • 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.
  • Let MAC Media Player download the channel list and guide (a minute or two the first time), then add your regular channels to favorites.

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.
  • Picture but no sound: set the Xiaomi Mi Box S's audio output to stereo or PCM; some soundbars refuse surround passthrough from IPTV feeds.
  • Buffering on sports only: run a speed test on the Xiaomi Mi Box S. Below about 25 Mbps, use the HD version of the channel.
  • MAC Media Player closes on its own: clear its cache, restart the Xiaomi Mi Box S, and reinstall if it keeps happening.
