iBO Player IPTV application has been around for a few years now. Although the app has a kind-of different interface compared to other common players, you can not doubt the functionality and ease of use. In this article, we will review the steps to install and activate iBO player on devices such as Samsung or LGTV, Android, Amazon Firestick, Apple, and Personal computers.
Common use cases of iBO Player
Most users who turn to this application use their Samsung or LG Smart TVs as their immediate IPTV device. The player application choice on those devices is limited and it's been known that in some regions, IPTV applications are restricted or blocked on Samsung/LG content stores.
On the other hand, if you are using Android, Amazon FireTV Box/Stick, Apple iOS, or any type of personal computer, although you can use this app, there are much better choices out there for you.
So to the question "whether I should choose iBO Player on all my devices?", the answer is no. This application is best suited for non-android Smart TVs where the choice is limited.

Depending on your device, you have different methods of installation.
On Samsung and LGTV, you can head over to the Content Store, search, and install this application.
How to add an IPTV playlist to iBO Player?
After the app is installed on your Smart TV, you should see the above on your screen.
Ibo player, just like most applications on Smart TV, has a lifetime license to pay for. However, it provides you with a 7-day free trial to evaluate it. Needless to say, the playlist must be provided by your IPTV Provider.
The Activation message on the screen provides Device ID which is a MAC address and a Key. You should use these two to log into the portal where you can pair your IPTV Playlist with the application database.

This contains a Playlist name, Username, Password, Server Address (Host), and an EPG URL.
All of these information should be provided by your IPTV seller.
Once all the details are entered, click SAVE.
4-Playlist is added. Now you can reload the application on your device and start streaming.
How to purchase a lifetime license of iBo Player?
As explained above, this application has a short free trial period. However, you can pay a one-time fee of $10 and enjoy this product for a lifetime.
When logged in using your Device details to manage the playlist, you can go to the Activate Device section to click the desired payment method and upgrade your license to paid version. Visa/Master cards, Cowpay and Coin Payments are the available methods. Once the upgrade is done, simply close and reopen the application on your device and changes will take effect.
Frequently asked Questions
Can I run IBO Player on Android, Firestick, Apple or PC?
This application can be installed on any device, however some installation files provided are outdated. For instance, the Android version is not up-to-date with latest privacy changes on Andorid OS. Therefore, I recommend using IBO Player only on Smart TVs where the app choices are scarce.
What type of IPTV extensions/formats are supported?
IBO Player only works with streaming lines e.g. M3U URL, and both MPEGTS and HLS are included. This application does not support Stalker Portal so do not mistake the MAC address of this app with stalker portal MAC addresses like MAG boxes.
Does IBO player provide Playlist as well?
No application in the market can and will do that. You should find your own IPTV provider of choice to supply you with streams.
Wrap Up
IBO Player is mostly used and recommended for Smart TVs which are not android as the choice of applications on those devices are limited. This app does support other Operating systems like Android and Apple. It can be installed on PC and Amazon Firestick but the installation files for those are out-dated and it is advised to clear of those.
