Setup guide

Sparkle TV 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.

Installing Sparkle TV

Sparkle TV on Chromebook: Installing Sparkle TV

  • Order on WhatsApp from the buy page. Your login details come back in the same chat, usually within a minute.
  • Open the Play Store on the Chromebook and install Sparkle TV; it runs as an Android app in its own window.
  • In Sparkle TV, pick the Xtream Codes or XC API option, then type the server URL, username and password from your WhatsApp message. All three are case-sensitive.
  • Give the first sync a couple of minutes, then hide the groups you never use and favorite the rest.

What you'll see on first launch

The first launch is the busy one: Sparkle TV 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.

  • "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 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 Sparkle TV.
