Install HotPlayer · on your iPhone / iPad

Follow the steps

  1. 1

    Locate Hot Player in the App Store

    On the iPhone or iPad open the App Store, tap Search and enter Hot Player. The download costs nothing and includes a trial; the playlist licence is bought in-app and covers your Apple TV and Mac as well.

    HotPlayer requests a playlist

    On first launch HotPlayer reports no playlist and displays a device ID alongside hotplayer.app/upload. Leave the screen where it is.

    Register the playlist at hotplayer.app/upload

    From a browser, open hotplayer.app/upload. Set the source to Xtream Codes, supply the server URL, username and password from your activation email, and save.

    Safari on the same iPhone or iPad handles this fine — the upload page is a website, not part of the app.

  5. 5

    Return to the app and tap Refresh

    Back in Hot Player, tap Refresh. The saved playlist is picked up straight away.
