Set up IPTV on Apple devices
Apple devices play IPTV through players from the App Store. The same app often runs on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, and some sync your playlist through iCloud so you only set it up once.
Step by step
- 1
Install a player from the App Store
Search for GSE Smart IPTV or IPTV Smarters on iPhone and iPad. On Apple TV, open the App Store on the TV itself and install the tvOS version of the player.
- 2
Add an Xtream Codes account
Open the player, choose Xtream Codes or Add Playlist, and enter the server URL, username and password from your welcome email.
- 3
Allow the guide to load
Turn on EPG in the player's settings if it isn't automatic. The guide fills in after a minute or two on the first launch.
- 4
Use AirPlay as a bonus
From iPhone or iPad you can AirPlay a stream to an Apple TV or AirPlay-capable TV. For daily viewing, the native Apple TV app is smoother.
iPhone, iPad & Apple TV questions
