What is IBO Player?
IBO Player is popular on Samsung and LG Smart TVs because it installs from the TV’s own app store. Instead of typing a login on the remote, you note the MAC address and device key shown in the app and attach your playlist to them on the developer’s website.
It is also available on other platforms, including Android devices. After a free trial period, the developer usually charges an activation fee per device; check their site for current terms.
Which devices does IBO Player work on?
- Samsung Smart TV (Tizen)
- LG Smart TV (webOS)
- Android devices
How do I add Veloplaylist to IBO Player?
- Install IBO Player from the Samsung or LG app store and open it.
- Write down the MAC address and device key shown on screen.
- Send them to Veloplaylist support, or add your playlist yourself on the IBO Player website using those details.
- Restart the app on the TV; your channels and guide load automatically.
Your login details arrive instantly after you order. Stuck on a step? Message support — they can check the details with you in a few minutes.
Is IBO Player free?
Free trial period, then a one-time activation fee per device paid to the developer (check current pricing). Any app fee is paid to the developer and is separate from your Veloplaylist subscription.
