Hot Player is a simple player for smart TVs, activated per device by its MAC address. It has left Google Play, and its maker lists no TV guide. IPTV Player One has a real TV guide, casts with subtitles in sync, and keeps your devices in step. Here is the honest comparison.

Two ways to put IPTV on a TV
Hot Player is built around the smart TV: you install it on a Samsung, LG or Roku set, note the MAC address, and upload your playlist on its website. Each TV is a separate activation. It is a simple, inexpensive route if you only watch on that one television.
IPTV Player One is built around you instead of one device. The app runs on Apple TV, Android TV and Google TV, Fire TV, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, and in every plan those devices share where you stopped, your favourites and your settings. From a phone or computer it casts to a Chromecast with the subtitles in sync.
Watch out for look-alikes
Several websites use the Hot IPTV name to sell channel subscriptions; the maker of Hot Player warns about them itself. IPTV Player One sells no channels at all: it is a player for a playlist you are allowed to use, and you get it only from the official stores or this site.
Frequently asked questions
Is Hot Player still on Google Play?
No. On 29 September 2026 its listing no longer existed and the maker page showed only other apps. On Apple devices, Windows, Roku, Samsung and LG it is still available. IPTV Player One is on Google Play for Android phones, tablets, Android TV and Google TV.
Does Hot Player have a TV guide?
Its maker does not mention one on its website or in any store listing; some review sites say it does. IPTV Player One has a TV guide as a grid, one row per channel on a timeline, on every platform.
Can I move my Hot Player playlist to IPTV Player One?
Yes. Both read an M3U link or an Xtream Codes login. On a TV you scan a QR code and fill in the playlist on your phone; there is no MAC address to register.
Is there IPTV Player One for Samsung or LG TVs?
Not yet. On those TVs Hot Player has the edge. You can cast IPTV Player One from a phone or computer to a Chromecast or Google TV, or use an Apple TV or Android TV box.
IPTV Player One contains no channels, content or subscriptions. It is a media player for playlists you legally own or are licensed to use. Using it for pirated content is not permitted.
