How to use IPTV
on Windows

Two players in the Microsoft Store work well with EyePTV. Pick one — you don't need both. Ibo Player Pro is the one we'd start with, because on most builds you can enter your login inside the app instead of going through a website.

About 5 minutes 6 steps Microsoft Store apps

Which one should you use?

Both are third-party players from the Microsoft Store. Neither includes channels — they play the login we give you.

Our pick

Ibo Player Pro

Store ID 9MSNK97XPVRK · IRBOETECH

Where your build exposes it, you enter the server URL, username and password directly in the app. That's one less place to go wrong. If your build doesn't expose it, there's a web fallback using the device key.

Hot Player

Store ID 9PL1L6TVQ60K

Solid player, but the playlist always goes on through hotplayer.app using the PC's device ID — there's no in-app entry. Pick it if Ibo Player Pro isn't available on your account, or if you already use HotPlayer elsewhere.

VLC

Free · for testing, not daily use

Not a real IPTV player — no guide, no categories, no favourites. But it opens an M3U link in seconds, which makes it the fastest way to prove your subscription works. See the box below the steps.

The steps below restart at 1 for each option. Follow one set start to finish and ignore the other. Store availability can vary by Windows version, architecture and account region — if one app won't install, use the other.

Option 1 — Ibo Player Pro  ·  our recommendation
1

Install it from the Microsoft Store

Open the Microsoft Store and search Ibo Player Pro. The product ID is 9MSNK97XPVRK, published by IRBOETECH — check that before you install, since several apps use similar names.

Select Get, then Open.

Note the MAC Address and Device Key

The app shows a MAC Address and a Device Key. Write both down — you'll need them if you end up using the web manager in step 5.

Keep them private. They work like a password for your player.

Open Change Playlist

Select Change Playlist or Manage Playlist. If your build offers setup inside the app, choose Add Playlist → Xtream Codes and go to step 4.

If it doesn't offer that, skip to step 5 — you'll add the playlist on the website instead.

4

Enter your EyePTV login

Name it EyePTV, then enter the server URL, username and password we sent you. Select Add Playlist or Save.

That's you done — skip step 5 and go straight to step 6.

Copy and paste from our message. Typing a long server URL by hand is where most Windows setups go wrong, and a trailing space gives the same error as a wrong password.

Only if step 4 wasn't available: use the web manager

Open the management page the app shows on screen, sign in with the MAC Address and Device Key from step 2, add the EyePTV playlist and save.

Then close Ibo Player Pro completely and reopen it.

Use the address your app displays, not one from a search result. IBO-branded players use several different portals and the wrong one just refuses the login.

Start watching

Your Live TV, Movies, Series and Favourites sections load. If you used the web manager, use Reload or reopen the app first.

Option 2 — Hot Player
1

Install Hot Player

Open the Microsoft Store and search Hot Player — product ID 9PL1L6TVQ60K. Select Get, then launch it from the Start menu.

Copy Your MAC

At the bottom of the app you'll find Your MAC or a device identifier. Copy it exactly — this is what links your playlist to this PC.

Open hotplayer.app/upload

In your browser go to hotplayer.app/upload, enter that MAC and continue.

Hot Player always uses this route — there's no in-app playlist entry, so this step isn't optional.

4

Add the EyePTV playlist

Choose the format that matches what we sent you — the M3U link, or the Xtream server details. Name it EyePTV and save.

Refresh and select EyePTV

Back in Hot Player, click Refresh. If nothing changes, close the app fully and reopen it, then select the EyePTV playlist.

Adjust the settings if you want

Hot Player has theme, update frequency, sorting and a PIN lock. Worth setting the PIN if the PC is shared.

Open Live TV, Movies or Series and you're watching.

Quick check

Use VLC to prove the problem isn't your subscription

If a player won't load your channels, this takes twenty seconds and tells you where the fault actually is. Open VLC, go to Media → Open Network Stream, paste the EyePTV M3U link and press Play.

If channels play in VLC, your subscription is fine and the problem is in the player setup — usually a mistyped field or a trailing space. If VLC also fails, send us a screenshot: that points at the account or the link, and it's ours to fix.

VLC is not a sensible daily player for IPTV. No TV guide, no categories, no favourites, no resume. Use it to diagnose, then go back to one of the two apps above.

VLC → Media → Open Network Stream → paste the M3U link → Play

If something doesn't work

The six things that go wrong on Windows, and how to fix them.

The app isn't in my Microsoft Store

Store availability varies by Windows version, architecture and account region. Try the other app — if neither shows, message us and we'll find something that runs on your build.

Ibo Player Pro has no Add Playlist option

Some builds don't expose it. Use the web manager instead: sign in with the MAC Address and Device Key the app shows, add the playlist there, then restart the app. That's step 5.

The login is rejected

Paste each value again and check the very end of the server URL for a space. Use exactly the http or https and the port number we sent — changing either breaks it. Then try the VLC check above.

Hot Player won't load EyePTV

Re-check the MAC on the PC matches the one you entered on hotplayer.app, save the playlist again, then click Refresh. Closing and reopening the app forces it.

It plays but stutters on a fast connection

Check Wi-Fi versus Ethernet first, then close anything doing heavy downloads. If 4K stutters but HD is fine, that's bandwidth, not the app — 4K needs a steady 25 Mbps.

Can I watch on the PC and the TV at once?

Only if your plan includes more than one connection. Installing the app in two places doesn't add one. Message us if you need a second stream.

Stuck on a step?

Send us a screenshot on WhatsApp. Tell us which app you installed and whether the VLC check played or failed — that alone usually tells us what's wrong.
