HotPlayer IPTV setup: install, upload, and test your playlist
HotPlayer is a media player. It does not include channels by itself. You install the app, copy the identifier it shows, then add playlist details from your IPTV service.

App setup
Install HotPlayer from the right store
Start with the app store on your device: Smart TV store, Fire TV search, Google Play, App Store, or Microsoft Store where available.
Once installed, open HotPlayer and keep the first screen visible. That screen usually shows the device identifier needed to connect your playlist.
Use M3U or Xtream Codes carefully
M3U setup usually uses a playlist URL. Xtream Codes setup usually uses a server URL, username, and password. Both can work, but the exact fields must match what support sends you.
If you are unsure which option to choose, ask support instead of guessing. One wrong field can make the app look empty.
Test the playlist before judging the app
After uploading the playlist, restart HotPlayer. Then test live TV, VOD, search, categories, and one high-quality stream.
If channels do not load, the issue is usually the identifier, playlist details, or app refresh state. Support can check those quickly if you send a photo of the app screen.
Quick Checklist

- Install HotPlayer from an official app store when possible.
- Copy the device ID or MAC address from inside HotPlayer.
- Enter M3U or Xtream Codes details exactly.
- Restart the app after saving.
- Test live TV and VOD during your trial.
