What IPTV Deck is
IPTV Deck plays the channels, films and series that your own playlist points at, on nine platforms, from one account.
It comes with nothing
Section titled “It comes with nothing”The app carries no channels, no films and no series, and it neither provides, hosts nor sells any. Nothing inside it finds, sells or recommends providers.
To watch anything you add a playlist of your own:
- an Xtream Codes account, a server address, a username and a password,
- an M3U link,
- a MAC portal, a portal address and the MAC your provider registered,
- an M3U file already on the device, or
- your own Jellyfin, Emby or Plex server with your films and series.
All of them come from a source you already have the right to use. Questions about where to get one cannot be answered here or by support.
To look around before you have one, there is Try the demo: a made-up playlist of sample channels, films and series that play test clips. It is there to show the app, it is not content.
What it does do
Section titled “What it does do”Once a playlist is in, the app is a full television client:
- Live TV with a programme guide, catch-up where the provider keeps an archive, reminders and recording, and everywhere but Samsung TVs pausing and rewinding live channels with Timeshift.
- Films and series with posters, plot and cast pulled from TMDB on your own key, a watchlist and continue-watching.
- A player with three decoding paths, embedded and downloaded subtitles, audio track picking, aspect control, picture-in-picture, casting and AirPlay.
- Multiview, several channels on screen at once.
- Sports, today’s matches and live scores, each pointing at the channel of yours that shows it.
- Sync, favourites, history, groups and playback position follow your account to every device you sign in on.
Everything above is in every plan. There is no feature you pay extra for except extra device slots.
What you need
Section titled “What you need”| A playlist | Xtream Codes credentials, an M3U link, a MAC portal, a Jellyfin, Emby or Plex server, or an .m3u / .m3u8 file |
| An account | Free. It carries the trial, the subscription and your data between devices |
| A device | Android 8.0+, iPhone, iPad or Apple TV, Windows 10/11 64-bit, macOS 12+, a Fire TV on Fire OS 7+, or an LG or Samsung TV from 2021 on |
On Android, Android TV, Fire TV, Apple TV and LG and Samsung TVs you do not need an account to try a playlist, but without one nothing syncs and the trial cannot follow you to a second device. An iPhone, an iPad, Windows and the Mac ask you to sign in first.
Where the app runs
Section titled “Where the app runs”Android TV and Google TV, Fire TV, Apple TV, Android phones and tablets, iPhone and iPad, Windows, macOS, and LG and Samsung TVs. The television layout and the phone layout are different apps in feel, not in data, install it, see what differs in Platforms compared and take a tour. Your account can also be set up from a browser, in the account panel.
