Trex IPTV Setup Guide for Firestick, Smart TV, Android & Desktop

Setting up Trex IPTV takes less than five minutes on any television, streaming stick, tablet, or computer. Follow the platform instructions below and use the verified external links for tools like Downloader, Hot Player, IBO Player, and VLC.

Fire OS & Google TV

1. Amazon Fire TV Stick & Fire TV Cube (via Downloader)

Amazon does not list third-party Xtream players directly on the home screen, so the cleanest way to install your player on a Firestick is with the free Downloader by AFTVnews utility:

From your Firestick home screen, select the Find / Search icon, type Downloader, and install the orange app published by AFTVnews.com (full developer documentation is available at aftvnews.com/downloader ↗ or on the Amazon Appstore ↗).
Open Settings → My Fire TV → About, highlight your Fire TV Stick model name, and press the center select button on your remote 7 times until it confirms you are a developer.
Press Back once, open Developer Options → Install Unknown Apps, and toggle Downloader to ON.
Launch Downloader, enter the APK URL for your preferred player (such as IPTV Smarters or TiviMate), and click Install.
Open the player, choose Login with Xtream Codes API, and enter the Server URL, Username, and Password from your Trex IPTV welcome email.

Samsung Tizen & LG webOS

2. Samsung & LG Smart TVs (via Hot Player or IBO Player)

Samsung and LG televisions allow you to upload your Trex IPTV playlist remotely from your phone or laptop browser so you never have to type long URLs with a TV remote:

Open the Samsung Smart Hub or LG Content Store on your television and search for Hot Player or IBO Player.
Install and launch the app on your TV. Note the MAC Address / Device ID and Device Key displayed on your television screen.
On your smartphone or computer, open the official activation portal for your chosen player:
- For Hot Player: Visit https://hotplayer.app/ ↗ and click Upload List.
- For IBO Player: Visit https://iboplayer.com/ ↗ and click Manage Playlists.
Enter your TV MAC/Device ID and paste either your Trex IPTV M3U URL or your Xtream Codes credentials, then restart the app on your television.

Android TV Boxes & Phones

3. Nvidia Shield, Chromecast with Google TV & Android

Android TV devices have native access to Google Play, making setup fast and straightforward:

Open the Google Play Store on your Android TV box or phone and install TiviMate IPTV Player (TiviMate Companion on Google Play ↗), Hot Player, or IPTV Smarters (iptvsmarters.com ↗).
Click Add Playlist → Xtream Codes.
Type the Server Address, Username, and Password from your Trex IPTV credentials email, leaving "Include VOD" checked.
Wait roughly 20 seconds for the 30,000+ live channels and XMLTV EPG guide to populate.

Windows, macOS & iOS

4. Windows PC, MacBook, iPhone, iPad & Apple TV

Stream Trex IPTV on any personal computer or Apple device using standard M3U or Xtream players:

On Windows, macOS, or Linux: Download the official open-source VLC Media Player from videolan.org/vlc ↗, press Ctrl+N (or Cmd+N on Mac) to open a Network Stream, and paste your M3U Plus URL. Alternatively, install IPTV Smarters Desktop for a categorized interface.
On iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV 4K: Open the Apple App Store, install Smarters Player Lite, iPlayTV, or IBO Player, and sign in with your Trex IPTV Xtream Codes credentials.
