Media Player for Windows
The Windows app pairs to the same account as your TV and phone, so the playlist you added once is already there. It is a desktop player, not a browser tab.
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.
Get it from the Microsoft Store
Not published yet. When it lands: Open the Microsoft Store app → search "IPlayerTV" → Get.
The .msix is not up yet
We host the package ourselves so you can install without waiting for the store. It goes up here the moment the Windows build is signed.
Neither route is open yet for Windows. Everything else on this page — pairing, playlists, how the app behaves — is already accurate, so it is worth reading before the app lands.
What you need
- A PC running Windows 10 or newer
- An M3U playlist URL or Xtream Codes login from your provider
Setting it up
Get IPlayerTV for Windows
Install it from the Microsoft Store, or from the package we host — both routes are at the top of this page. Then open IPlayerTV from the Start menu; the pairing steps below are what you see on first launch.
Open the app and note the pairing code
The first time IPlayerTV opens on your PC 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 PC, 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 PC 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 PC, 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.
Installing the .msix by hand
Windows installs the package with a double-click. The only friction is that a package which did not come from the Microsoft Store is not signed by Microsoft, so SmartScreen puts a warning in front of it the first time.
1.Download the package
Use the download button at the top of this page. Windows may pause the download itself and ask you to keep the file — that prompt is about the file being uncommon, not about it being harmful.
2.Run it and get past SmartScreen
Double-click the .msix. If a blue "Windows protected your PC" panel appears, click "More info" and then "Run anyway". App Installer opens and shows what is about to be installed.
3.Install and launch
Press Install. IPlayerTV then appears in the Start menu like any other app, and can be pinned to the taskbar.
4.Pair it with your account
The app shows a 6-digit code on first launch. Enter it at iplayertv.com/activation in any browser — the same PC is fine — and your playlist is picked up straight away.
Stuck on any of this? Mail contact@iplayertv.com with the device and where it stopped, and we will walk through it with you.
Windows 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.
Yes. The desktop build is built for pointer and keyboard rather than a remote.
