IPTV Player for Mac
The Mac app is the same application as the iPhone and iPad one, built for macOS — a real window with a menu bar and keyboard shortcuts rather than a phone app in a box.
Every device gets its own 7-day free trial, and no card is required to start it. Access is per device, so pairing a second TV starts its own trial rather than sharing the first one.
What you need
- A Mac running macOS 13 or newer
- An M3U playlist URL or Xtream Codes login from your provider
Setting it up
Install IPlayerTV
The Mac app is not yet on the App Store. When it is released it will install from the Mac App Store, and the pairing flow below is what you will see on first launch.
Open the app and note the pairing code
The first time IPlayerTV opens on your Mac it shows a 6-digit pairing code and a QR code, with a countdown. The code stays valid for about 15 minutes, and the app keeps checking on its own — once you finish the next step it continues by itself.
Enter the code on iplayertv.com/activation
On your Mac, in a browser, go to iplayertv.com/activation and sign in (or create an account). Type in the code. You can also scan the QR code with a phone camera, which opens the same page with the code already filled in.
The Mac picks up the pairing within a few seconds — there is no need to restart the app.
Add your playlist
IPlayerTV is a player, not a content provider — it ships with no channels. On the dashboard, add the playlist you already have from your provider: either an M3U URL, or an Xtream Codes login (server address, username, password).
The playlist is imported once and cached against your account, so the app opens quickly afterwards rather than re-downloading a large file every time.
Start watching
Back on the Mac, your channels, films and series appear in the app. Progress, favourites and the last channel you watched are stored on your account, so they follow you to any other device you pair.
Keyboard shortcuts
The Go menu moves between Home, Movies, Series and Live TV with ⌘1 to ⌘4, and ⌘F opens search. Settings is where every Mac app keeps it, under ⌘,.
Mac app coming soon
You can pair any of the supported devices today and start a 7-day free trial — your playlist carries over when this app lands.
Frequently asked questions
IPlayerTV does not provide, host, resell or index any channels, and it comes with no content of any kind. You supply a playlist you are entitled to use. If you do not already have one, this app is not where you get it.
No. It is a native build of the same codebase as the iPhone and iPad app, compiled for macOS.
