IPlayTV setup on Apple TV
How to set up iPlayTV on Apple TV and iPhone: add an Xtream Codes or M3U playlist, load the guide, set favourites and fix playback problems.
Quick answer
Install iPlayTV from the App Store, open it and add a new playlist: choose Xtream Codes and enter server, username and password, or paste an M3U link and a guide link. iPlayTV then shows a TV-style guide built for the Apple TV remote.
iPlayTV is designed for Apple TV first, with a guide that feels like a cable box.
You need your IPTV login: an Xtream Codes login (server, username, password) or an M3U link plus a guide link. IPTV Trends sends both after payment; see M3U vs Xtream Codes for which to use.

Tips
- Use your iPhone as a keyboard for long URLs.
