How to Install IPTV on iPlayTV

Install IPTV on iPlayTV for Apple TV. Add your M3U playlist or Xtream Codes login to stream live channels, VOD, and EPG on Apple TV in a few minutes.

iPlayTV is one of the most popular IPTV players for Apple TV, offering a smooth, polished interface for watching your IPTV playlists. It supports Apple TV 3rd generation and newer and is a one-time $5.99 purchase on the App Store.

Note: iPlayTV is a player only and does not include channels. You need an active IPTV subscription, which provides either an M3U link or Xtream Codes login details.

  1. Choose your method. You can add a remote M3U link, load a local M3U file, or connect via Xtream Server. We recommend the Xtream Server option because it adds extra features such as EPG and automatic playlist updates.

Tip: If you don’t have separate Xtream Codes details, you can extract them from your M3U link — the domain is the server URL, and the username and password values in the link are your login credentials.
