Setup guide
Setting up Bob Player on the LG Smart TV
Short version: install Bob Player, sign in with your Ultra 8K IPTV details, and let it load. The steps below cover the parts specific to the LG Smart TV, from where to find the app to the settings that keep 4K feeds smooth.
- No contract
- 7-day refund
- Login in ~60s
Bob Player is a paid app; its activation fee goes to the developer, separately from your IPTV plan. Whether it plays 4K depends on the model, so check the spec sheet before choosing 4K feeds. Plans are prepaid and never auto-renew, and you have 7 days to ask for your money back.
Prep, in four lines
- Bob Player's MAC address and device key, which it shows on its start screen
- LG TV software updated, so the Content Store shows current apps
- Plan on about 10 Mbps for each HD stream and 25 Mbps for each 4K stream
- A faster way to type: the Magic Remote pointer, or a USB keyboard
Step by step: Bob Player on the LG Smart TV
- Order on WhatsApp from the buy page. Your login details come back in the same chat, usually within a minute.
- Open the LG Content Store (labeled Apps on recent webOS versions), search for Bob Player and install it.
- Open Bob Player on the TV and write down the MAC address and device key it shows on the start screen.
- On the Bob Player website, enter that MAC and device key, add your playlist (M3U link or Xtream details), then restart the app on the TV.
- Wait for the first load to finish, open a channel to test it, and star the ones you watch most.
Settings that help on the LG Smart TV
- Install TV software updates; the app store serves builds matched to your firmware.
- Use the TV's Ethernet port when the router is close.
- Turn off motion smoothing if faces look plastic; leave it on for sports if you like the effect.
- Playlist name: give it a clear name on the website so you can tell playlists apart.
What you'll see on first launch
After you add the playlist online and restart Bob Player, the TV shows your playlist name and starts loading channels. The first load on TV hardware can take a couple of minutes; after that, live TV, movies and series open from the home screen.
If Bob Player won't cooperate
- Playlist missing after you added it online: confirm the MAC on the website matches the one on screen, then restart Bob Player.
- Bob Player closes on its own: clear its cache, restart the LG Smart TV, and reinstall if it keeps happening.
- Channels but no guide: refresh the EPG in Bob Player's settings, or give it a few minutes after the first sign-in.
- Buffering on sports only: run a speed test on the LG Smart TV. Below about 25 Mbps, use the HD version of the channel.
