Troubleshooting on Samsung TV

Hot Player or IBO Player Pro is missing from Samsung Apps. What can I do?

The app list depends on your country and TV model. Update the TV under Settings > Support > Software Update, search again, or install the other player.

Can a Samsung TV install APK files?

No. Samsung TVs run Tizen, not Android, so only apps from Samsung Apps can be installed.

My playlist shows no channels or fails to load. How do I fix it?

Copy the M3U URL from your welcome email again, all of it, and paste it once more. Make sure you logged in with the MAC address on your screen (and for IBO Player Pro, its device key too), then reopen the app. Still empty? Message our support team.
