How to set up HotPlayer on Apple TV

A step-by-step guide to watch IPTVin IPTV with HotPlayer on your Apple TV: install the app, sign in with your login details and start streaming.

Follow the steps

  1. 1

    Locate Hot Player in the App Store

    On the Apple TV open the App Store, go to Search and enter Hot Player. The download costs nothing and includes a trial; the playlist licence is bought in-app and covers your iPhone, iPad and Mac as well.

    Install, then open Hot Player

    Choose Get, wait for it to complete, then launch the app.

  3. 3

    HotPlayer requests a playlist

    On first launch HotPlayer reports no playlist and displays a device ID alongside hotplayer.app/upload. Leave the screen where it is.

    Register the playlist at hotplayer.app/upload

    From a browser, open hotplayer.app/upload. Set the source to Xtream Codes, supply the server URL, username and password from your activation email, and save.

    The upload page is a website rather than part of the app, so a phone, tablet or computer is required for this step.

  5. 5

    Return to the app and select Refresh

    Back in HotPlayer, choose Refresh. The saved playlist is picked up straight away.

Installing HotPlayer on Apple TV: what is different

  • Apple TV runs tvOS. Open the App Store from the Home screen and search for HotPlayer using the Siri Remote.

  • tvOS allows no sideloading at all, so HotPlayer must be published on the tvOS App Store — the iPhone version being available does not mean the TV version is.

  • Hold the TV button to return to the Home screen if HotPlayer stops responding, rather than unplugging the box.
