Setup guide

XCIPTV Player is free to download. The Chromecast with Google TV 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.

Before you start: XCIPTV Player on Chromecast with Google TV

XCIPTV Player on Chromecast with Google TV: Before you start

  • Your login from WhatsApp: server URL (with port), username and password
  • Unknown apps allowed for Downloader, only if Google Play does not list the app
  • A 25 Mbps line handles one 4K stream comfortably; HD needs roughly 10 Mbps per screen
  • A faster way to type: the Google TV app on your phone has a keyboard

The setup, in order

XCIPTV Player on Chromecast with Google TV: The setup, in order

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

Small tweaks, smoother playback

XCIPTV Player on Chromecast with Google TV: Small tweaks, smoother playback

  • Clear the player's cache from the system app settings if the guide starts lagging.
  • An Ethernet adapter is the biggest single upgrade for a stick on weak Wi-Fi.
  • Use the HDMI extender that came in the box if the port is cramped; it helps Wi-Fi reception and heat.
  • Guide refresh: set the EPG to update daily so listings never run out.

What you'll see on first launch

Expect a short wait on first sign-in while XCIPTV Player downloads the playlist and guide. Then you'll see channel groups by category and country; open one, highlight a channel, and the guide shows what's on now and next.

Common problems and fixes

XCIPTV Player on Chromecast with Google TV: Common problems and fixes

  • "Invalid credentials": retype the server URL with http:// and the port, and check capital letters; the username and password are case-sensitive.
  • Guide off by an hour or more: check the Chromecast with Google TV's time zone first, then the EPG offset in XCIPTV Player.
  • Picture but no sound: set the Chromecast with Google TV's audio output to stereo or PCM; some soundbars refuse surround passthrough from IPTV feeds.
  • XCIPTV Player closes on its own: clear its cache, restart the Chromecast with Google TV, and reinstall if it keeps happening.
