    The upload page is a website rather than part of the app, so a phone, tablet or computer is required for this step.

    Back in HotPlayer, choose Refresh. The saved playlist is picked up straight away.

Installing HotPlayer on Android TV: what is different

  • Android TV and Google TV boxes install HotPlayer from the Google Play Store on the device — not from your phone's Play Store.

  • If HotPlayer is not on Play for your box, Android TV does allow sideloading: install a downloader app, then enable install-from-unknown-sources for it in Settings.

  • Most Android TV remotes have no pointer. HotPlayer is far easier to drive if it supports D-pad navigation, which is why it is recommended here.

Your Fast IPTV login details (username, password & server URL, M3U link or MAG portal URL) are in the activation email we send right after checkout. Lost it? Contact support and we'll resend it.
