How to use HotPlayer with a MAG box
MAG is a set-top-box line, not one single operating system. Infomir lists Linux MAG boxes and Android TV/Google TV MAG models. HotPlayer can be installed only on app-store capable models; classic Linux MAG boxes normally use portal or playlist settings instead of installing HotPlayer.

If your MAG model runs Android TV or Google TV, follow the Android guide. If it is a classic Linux MAG box, use the portal/playlist setup your provider gives you instead of installing HotPlayer.

Common fixes
- If your MAG has no Google Play or app store, it is probably a classic Linux MAG box and cannot install HotPlayer directly.
- If your MAG model is MAG555 or another Google TV/Android TV model, follow the Android guide.
- If the portal will not load, verify the portal URL and reboot the box and router.
