Setup guide
Bob Premium on your Chromebook, step by step
Short version: install Bob Premium, sign in with your Ultra 8K IPTV details, and let it load. The steps below cover the parts specific to the Chromebook, from where to find the app to the settings that keep 4K feeds smooth.
- No contract
- 7-day refund
- Login in ~60s
Bob Premium is a paid app; its activation fee goes to the developer, separately from your IPTV plan. Resolution depends on the screen: HD is plenty on a phone or laptop, and 4K is worth it only on a 4K monitor or TV. Ordering happens on WhatsApp, and the login usually lands in the chat within about 60 seconds.
Before you start
- Bob Premium's MAC address and device key, which it shows on its start screen
- Enough free space for the app and its guide data
- Budget 10 Mbps per HD screen and 25 Mbps per 4K screen, then add headroom for everyone else online
Installing Bob Premium
- Pick a plan length, send the order on WhatsApp, and keep the reply open: it holds the server URL, username and password.
- Open the Play Store on the Chromebook and install Bob Premium; it runs as an Android app in its own window.
- Open Bob Premium on the TV and write down the MAC address and device key it shows on the start screen.
- On the Bob Premium website, enter that MAC and device key, add your playlist (M3U link or Xtream details), then restart the app on the TV.
- Let Bob Premium download the channel list and guide (a minute or two the first time), then add your regular channels to favorites.
Settings that help on the Chromebook
- Connect to a TV over HDMI for a bigger picture with the same app.
- Use Ethernet for 4K on a desktop or docked laptop.
- Keep VLC installed as a backup player for testing the stream.
- 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 Premium, 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.
Troubleshooting
- Playlist missing after you added it online: confirm the MAC on the website matches the one on screen, then restart Bob Premium.
- Guide off by an hour or more: check the Chromebook's time zone first, then the EPG offset in Bob Premium.
- Bob Premium closes on its own: clear its cache, restart the Chromebook, and reinstall if it keeps happening.
- Buffering on sports only: run a speed test on the Chromebook. Below about 25 Mbps, use the HD version of the channel.
