Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about the app, activation, payments, and playlists.
Why did my TV MAC address change after switching connection type?
Most TVs expose one MAC address for Wi-Fi and another for Ethernet. After switching connection type and restarting the app, the active MAC may change.
Can I request a refund if I paid for the wrong MAC address?
Yes. If you accidentally paid for the wrong MAC address, contact support within 7 days and we will review the request.
Why can’t the app start?
The most common cause is connectivity. Check your internet connection and router first. In many cases the issue is the connection, not the app itself.
Does the app support EPG?
The app does not ship with built-in EPG data. If your provider includes a compatible EPG source, it can work with the app.
I was charged twice. What should I do?
Contact support with your MAC address, your name, and the last 4 digits of the card used. Duplicate payments are reviewed quickly.
Some content does not play. Is the app the problem?
If some items play and others do not, the issue is usually with the playlist or with the provider source rather than with the player itself.
My playlist failed with "rejected the username and password". What now?
First copy the link again from your provider — one wrong character in the username or password gives this answer. If the details are right and the same link opens on your phone or computer, the provider is most likely blocking connections from outside your country or from data centres, which is where our servers run. Ask them to allow IPlayerTV's servers, or for a link that is not restricted.
My playlist failed with "could not reach … from our servers". What now?
Our servers could not open a connection to the address in the link. Either the provider's server is down right now, the address or port is mistyped, or the provider only accepts connections from home internet. Check the address and port with your provider and try again in a few minutes. If it keeps failing while the link works on your own devices, ask your provider to allow our servers.
The playlist was accepted but it is empty — no channels, films or series.
The provider answered but sent a playlist with nothing in it. This usually means the subscription with the provider has expired or was never activated, or the link asks for the wrong output format. Ask your provider whether the account is active, and use the M3U link exactly as they give it.
