Choose the Right App to Watch IPTV
Your Aloha8K subscription gives you login details. A player app is what turns those details into live TV, movies and series on your TV or phone. The app does not include any channels or content by itself.
IPTV Smarters Pro
IPTV Smarters Pro is a well-known player app. It is free in many app stores, and some versions offer paid extras from the developer.
- Available on Android, Fire TV and iOS. On iPhone, iPad and Apple TV the developer offers a version called Smarters Player Lite.
- Log in with Xtream Codes (profile name, username, password and server URL) or with an M3U link.
- Live TV, movies, series and an EPG (TV guide) in one place.
- Settings for decoder, buffer size, EPG refresh and EPG time shift.
Our experience: Smarters Pro costs nothing, which makes it an easy way to get started. In our testing, though, it has not always been stable, so we do not recommend it as your main player.
IBO Player Pro
RecommendedIBO Player Pro is the player we recommend for smart TVs and streaming devices. When you open it for the first time, it shows a device ID (MAC address) and a key. You then add your playlist using your Xtream details or an M3U link, and the built-in EPG shows what is on now and next.
