Setup guide
MAC Media Player on your TiVo Stream 4K, step by step
MAC Media Player runs on Android TV, which makes it a natural fit for the TiVo Stream 4K. Setup is install, sign in, wait for the list: about five minutes from start to your first channel with an Ultra 8K IPTV login.
- No contract
- 7-day refund
- Login in ~60s
MAC Media Player is a paid app; its fee goes to the developer, separately from your IPTV plan. 4K is no problem for the TiVo Stream 4K; give it a 25 Mbps connection and a 4K TV and the sharper feeds hold up. Choose a plan, message us on WhatsApp, and expect your login details in about a minute.
Before you start
- The MAC address MAC Media Player shows in its settings, to send with your order
- Unknown apps allowed for Downloader, only if Google Play does not list the app
- A 25 Mbps line handles one 4K stream comfortably; HD needs roughly 10 Mbps per screen
- A faster way to type: a USB or Bluetooth keyboard, or the remote app on your phone
The setup, in order
- Pick a plan length, send the order on WhatsApp, and keep the reply open: it holds the server URL, username and password.
- Open Google Play on the TiVo Stream 4K and install MAC Media Player. If it's missing from the store, sideload it with Downloader after allowing unknown apps under Settings > Apps > Security & restrictions.
- Find the MAC address in MAC Media Player's profile settings and send it to us on WhatsApp so it can be registered.
- Paste the portal URL we reply with into MAC Media Player's portal settings and restart the app.
- Wait for the first load to finish, open a channel to test it, and star the ones you watch most.
What you'll see on first launch
MAC Media Player loads the portal on start. Expect a menu with live TV, video on demand and settings tiles, much like a MAG box. The channel list arrives first, the guide shortly after.
Settings that help on the TiVo Stream 4K
- Use the HDMI extender that came in the box if the port is cramped; it helps Wi-Fi reception and heat.
- An Ethernet adapter is the biggest single upgrade for a stick on weak Wi-Fi.
- Close apps you are not using; sticks have limited memory.
- Portal URL: leave it exactly as sent, including any trailing /c/.
If MAC Media Player won't cooperate
- "Portal not found" or a blank screen: check the URL, including any trailing /c/, and confirm the MAC was registered.
- MAC Media Player closes on its own: clear its cache, restart the TiVo Stream 4K, and reinstall if it keeps happening.
- Picture but no sound: set the TiVo Stream 4K's audio output to stereo or PCM; some soundbars refuse surround passthrough from IPTV feeds.
- Guide off by an hour or more: check the TiVo Stream 4K's time zone first, then the EPG offset in MAC Media Player.
