How to Set Up IPTV on Apple TV, iPhone and iPad

Best IPTV players for Apple

These players are made by other companies. We don't sell them or their licences; your IPTVCA plan is the login you enter in them.

Step 1: Install a player from the App Store

1. Open the App Store

   On Apple TV, iPhone or iPad.

   
2. Search for the player

   Type iMPlayer or Smarters Player Lite and select Get.

   

Step 2: Log in

1. Open the app and add a playlist

   Choose Add playlist or Add user.

   
2. Log in with your Xtream Codes details

   Choose “Xtream Codes” (sometimes “Login with Xtream Codes API”). Type the server URL, username and password exactly as they appear in your IPTVCA email, including capital letters, then save. Channels, the TV guide and the movie library load on their own; the first load can take a minute or two.

   

Step 3 (optional): AirPlay to your TV

1. Connect to the same Wi-Fi

   Your iPhone or iPad and the Apple TV (or AirPlay-compatible TV) must be on the same network.

   
2. Tap AirPlay

   Start a channel in the player, tap the AirPlay icon and pick your TV.

   

Tips for the best picture

• Apple TV 4K on a cable gives the best picture for 4K channels.
• Around 25 Mbps per screen is comfortable for HD and 50 Mbps for 4K. A wired connection, or Wi-Fi on the 5 GHz band close to the router, prevents most buffering.
• On iPhone, allow the player to use mobile data only if your plan has enough data: HD streaming uses several gigabytes per hour.

Apple IPTV troubleshooting

• “Invalid credentials”

  Check capital letters and remove any space pasted at the end of the username or password.

• The guide is empty

  Refresh the EPG in the app settings and give it a few minutes.

• AirPlay shows a black screen

  Some players block AirPlay for certain streams. Install the player directly on the Apple TV instead.
