MyIPTV Player: setup on Windows and Xbox

What it does

According to its Microsoft Store listing, MyIPTV Player:

• Plays HLS and MPEG-TS streams, from an Xtream Codes login or an M3U playlist, with multiple playlists supported.
• Groups channels automatically and lets you filter out groups you don’t watch.
• Has a built-in TV guide (EPG), favourites and PIN protection.
• Offers catch-up with Xtream Codes logins.
• Saves streams and can download on-demand videos, with a download centre and history.
• Lets you choose the player engine: the VLC library or the Windows media player.

The listing’s disclaimer is clear that no channels or streaming addresses are provided.

Set it up

1. Install MyIPTV Player from the Microsoft Store on your PC or Xbox, and check the publisher is Vbfnet Apps.
2. Open its settings and add your service: an Xtream Codes login (server address, username and password) or an M3U playlist link.
3. Add a guide address if your provider gave you a separate XMLTV link for an M3U playlist.
4. Let the channels and guide load, then hide the groups you don’t need and add favourites.

Server addresses must be entered exactly, including http:// and any port. See Xtream Codes login explained and how to add an EPG.

Tips

• If a channel won’t play or stutters, switch between the two player engines the listing describes: the VLC library and the Windows media player.
• On an older PC, close other apps: the listing recommends 8 GB of memory and says low-spec mobile devices aren’t recommended.
• On Xbox, typing long links with a controller is slow; a USB keyboard connected to the console helps. See IPTV on Xbox.
