Before you start

You will need a Windows 10 or 11 PC or a Mac, permission to install apps on it, and your CosyTelly login. For the smoothest picture, plug a laptop into its charger and use a wired or 5 GHz Wi-Fi connection.

Best IPTV apps for Windows

On macOS we recommend IPTV Smarters Pro. It is free, simple and logs in with the same Xtream Codes details as any other device.

IPTV Smarters Pro, Vu Player Pro and IPTV Expert (Xtream Codes login)

  1. Open the app and choose Add Playlist. Some apps call it Add User or Login with Xtream Codes.
  2. Pick Xtream Codes, not M3U.
  3. Enter the username and password from your CosyTelly message.
  4. If the app asks for a server URL, copy it from the same message exactly as written.
  5. Press Save or Add User, and your channels load.

IBO Player Pro and Hot Player (MAC address and M3U link)

  1. Open the app on your device. It shows your MAC address, and IBO also shows a Device Key.
  2. On your phone or computer, open the app's playlist page: IBO Player Pro · Bob Player · Hot Player.
  3. Enter the MAC address, plus the Device Key for IBO, exactly as shown on screen.
  4. Choose Add playlist, then M3U, and paste the M3U link from your CosyTelly message.
  5. Give the playlist any name and press Save.
  6. Restart the app on your device, and your channels appear.
Hot Player has two separate pages, so do not mix them up: Upload is where you paste your M3U link (free during the trial), and Activation is where you pay for the app once you have tried it and want to keep it.

Lost your username, password or M3U link? Message us and we will resend it.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting IPTV on Windows & Mac

The Microsoft Store app won't install

Update Windows and the Microsoft Store app itself, sign in to the Store with your Microsoft account, then try the install again.

The Mac app won't install

Make sure you downloaded IPTV Smarters Pro from the official link on this page and that your version of macOS is supported. If it still will not open, message us and we will suggest another option.

Playback lags on my laptop

Plug in the charger, because battery-saving modes slow video down. Close heavy browser tabs and use a wired connection if you can.

My login is rejected

The server URL must start with http://, not https://. Copy it straight from your message, and check there is no space at the end.

Still stuck? Message us on WhatsApp with your device, the app you are using and a photo of any error, and we will sort it out with you.
