Install IPTV Player One on iPhone and iPad
On iPhone and iPad, IPTV Player One comes from the App Store, the same listing as the Mac app and the Apple TV app. This guide takes you from installing to watching your own M3U or Xtream Codes playlist in a few minutes.
Good to know before you start
The app is free to install and free to try: the 14-day trial starts the first time you play something, and it asks for no account and no payment details. Updates arrive by themselves through the App Store.
The same app is in the App Store for Mac and Apple TV, and one subscription covers iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV on the same Apple Account.
Troubleshooting
I cannot find the app, or I found the wrong one
Search for IPTV Player One in the App Store and check the developer: ours is published by Jerry van der Werf. An app with the same name from another developer exists, and our subscription does not work in it. Opening the App Store listing from this site always lands on the right one.
My playlist does not load
Copy the playlist link or login details exactly as your provider sent them, with no extra spaces. If an M3U URL containing get.php will not load, try the Xtream Codes login option with the same server address, username and password; some providers block direct M3U downloads. Read M3U vs Xtream Codes if you are not sure which format you have.
No Chromecast found
Check that your iPhone and your Chromecast, Google TV or Android TV are on the same Wi-Fi network; guest networks and client isolation stop devices from seeing each other. Make sure Wi-Fi is on and not only mobile data. If you declined the Local Network question when the app first searched for a TV, turn it on under Settings, Privacy and Security, Local Network.
Something else feels off
Open a ticket in the supportdesk with your device, your app version from the settings screen and what you were doing. You usually get a reply within a day.
Watching on other devices too? The same app is in the App Store for Mac (macOS 13.3 or newer, Apple Silicon and Intel) and for Apple TV, and one subscription covers all of them on the same Apple Account. See the Mac guide and the Apple TV guide, where the television shows a short code so you never type a playlist with the remote. On a PC, read the Windows guide. Everything about the iPhone version is on the iPhone page.
How it works
- 1
Install the app
Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad, search for IPTV Player One and tap Get. You need iOS 16.4 or newer. Careful which one you pick: an app with the same name from another developer exists in the App Store, and our subscription does not work in it.
- 2
Add your playlist
Open the app and choose an M3U link or an Xtream Codes login, with the details from your provider. IPTV Player One is a player only: it contains no channels, content or subscriptions, so you bring your own legal sources. Stalker and MAC portals are not supported.
- 3
Start watching
Browse live TV, movies and series with groups, search, favorites and continue watching, plus a TV guide, radio and a parental lock with a PIN. Your free 14-day trial starts the first time you play something; no account and no payment details needed. Playback is hardware accelerated, so .mkv, HEVC and 4K files play smoothly on recent devices, and the app is available in 31 languages.
- 4
Keep watching after the trial
After the free 14 days the app offers a subscription through the App Store: $5.99 per year or $1.49 per month, billed by Apple and renewed until you cancel. One subscription covers iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV, as long as they use the same Apple Account. There is no device code to enter on iPhone or iPad, and there is no lifetime option in the App Store.

Cast to your TV, or send it over AirPlay
Casting is built in: put your iPhone and your Chromecast (also called Google Cast), Google TV or Android TV on the same Wi-Fi network, start playback and tap the cast icon. You choose the subtitle and audio track on the cast and subtitles stay in sync. Have an Apple TV or an AirPlay 2 TV or speaker instead? Use AirPlay from Control Center; not every file format is accepted by the TV, and the app tells you honestly when that happens.
Frequently asked questions
Is IPTV Player One in the App Store for iPhone?
Yes, for iPhone and iPad with iOS 16.4 or newer. It is the same listing as the Mac app and the Apple TV app.
Do I need a device code on iPhone?
No. On iPhone and iPad the subscription runs through the App Store and follows your Apple Account. The device code is only for licenses bought directly from us, for Windows.
Does one subscription cover my iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV?
Yes, as long as they use the same Apple Account. $5.99 per year or $1.49 per month, renewed by Apple until you cancel. There is no lifetime option in the App Store.
Can I cast from the iPhone to my TV?
Yes, to a Chromecast (Google Cast), Google TV or Android TV on the same Wi-Fi network, with the subtitle and audio track chosen on the cast. On an Apple TV or an Android TV you do not need casting at all, because the app runs on the television itself.
Can I use AirPlay instead of casting?
Yes, to an Apple TV or any AirPlay 2 TV or speaker, with the same subtitle and audio choice. See the AirPlay page for details.
