Quick answer
On iPhone and iPad you can use the same App Store players as Apple TV. They're handy for watching on the go and for casting to an AirPlay-compatible TV.
Before you start
- An active Kemo IPTV trial or subscription (your activation email contains your login details).
- A stable internet connection — about 10 Mbps for HD, 25 Mbps or more for 4K, per stream.
- iOS / iPadOS that meets the chosen app's minimum version.
Recommended player apps
| Player | Login methods | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| IPTVX | Xtream, M3U | Paid app / in-app purchase on the App Store (check current pricing). |
| UHF | Xtream, M3U | Free download with an optional paid upgrade. |
| IPTV Smarters Pro | Xtream, M3U | Free from official stores (availability varies by store and region). |
| VLC media player | M3U | Free and open-source. |
Player apps are made by independent developers. Install them only from official app stores or the developer's own website. We don't publish APK files or download codes.
Which login method to use
- Xtream Codes API: You enter a server URL, username and password in the player. The app downloads channels, VOD and the TV guide automatically.
- M3U playlist URL: A single web address that points to the full channel playlist. Most players, including VLC and Kodi, can open it.
Set up
- Install IPTVX, UHF or Smarters Player Lite from the App Store.
- Open the app and add a playlist using Xtream Codes (server URL, username, password).
- Save and browse Live TV, Movies and Series.
- To watch on a TV, tap the AirPlay icon in the player (when supported) and choose your Apple TV or AirPlay-compatible TV.
TV guide (EPG) setup
Included with Xtream login; for M3U add the EPG link in the app.
Common errors and fixes
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| Streams stop when the screen locks | Enable picture-in-picture or background playback in the app if it supports it. |
| Mobile data usage | HD streaming can use 2–3 GB per hour. Prefer Wi-Fi when possible. |
