Setup guide

XCIPTV Player is free to download. On a phone or laptop screen, HD feeds already look sharp; 4K only pays off on a 4K display. There's no contract and no card on file waiting to be charged again: plans are prepaid, with a 7-day refund window.

Have these ready

  • Your login from WhatsApp: server URL (with port), username and password
  • 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

Step by step: XCIPTV Player on the Chromebook

  • 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 XCIPTV Player; it runs as an Android app in its own window.
  • In XCIPTV Player, pick the Xtream Codes or XC API option, then type the server URL, username and password from your WhatsApp message. All three are case-sensitive.
  • Let XCIPTV Player download the channel list and guide (a minute or two the first time), then add your regular channels to favorites.

The first time you open it

XCIPTV Player shows a loading bar while it pulls the channel list, then opens on its home screen. Live TV, movies and series appear as separate sections, and the guide fills in over the next minute or two. On the Chromebook, the first load is the slowest.

Troubleshooting

  • "Invalid credentials": retype the server URL with http:// and the port, and check capital letters; the username and password are case-sensitive.
  • XCIPTV Player 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.
  • Guide off by an hour or more: check the Chromebook's time zone first, then the EPG offset in XCIPTV Player.

Small tweaks, smoother playback

  • Turn on hardware acceleration in the player settings.
  • Use Ethernet for 4K on a desktop or docked laptop.
  • Connect to a TV over HDMI for a bigger picture with the same app.
  • Guide refresh: set the EPG to update daily so listings never run out.
