Connecting the app to your plan
Purple Player doesn't ask for a username on the TV. Open it and it shows a MAC address, often with a device key. Go to the Purple Player website, enter that MAC, and add your playlist there, either as an M3U link or as Xtream details.
Restart Purple Player on the TV and the playlist appears. The app's own activation fee is paid to its developer, separately from your IPTV plan.

Settings worth changing
- Playlist name: give it a clear name on the website so you can tell playlists apart.
- Restart Purple Player after any change on the website; the TV app only reloads on start.
- Parental lock: set a PIN and lock adult categories before the kids find the remote.
- Hide groups: remove countries and categories you never watch to speed up scrolling.
