How to Watch 8Kontv on Windows and Mac – Computer Guide

If you’d rather watch your channels from your computer, you can use the desktop version of IPTV Smarters Player, available for both Windows and Mac. It’s the same app you’d use on your phone, with an interface built for a bigger screen.

Prefer live WhatsApp support instead?
1

Download IPTV Smarters Player for your system

Go to the official IPTV Smarters Player website and download the right version: Windows (.exe) or Mac (.dmg). It's free and doesn't require any prior sign-up.

2

Install the app

On Windows, run the installer and follow the setup wizard. On Mac, open the .dmg file and drag the app to your "Applications" folder. If macOS blocks it for coming from an "unidentified developer," go to System Preferences → Security and click "Open Anyway."

3

Enter your 8Kontv account details

Open the app and select "Login with Xtream Codes API." Enter the username, password, and server URL we sent you when you signed up, and wait for your channel list to load.

Quick alternative: use VLC Media Player

If you already have VLC installed, you can play your channels without installing anything else. Open VLC, go to Media → Open Network Stream, paste the playlist (M3U) URL we gave you when you signed up, and press “Play.” It’s cleaner than the dedicated app, but doesn’t include a program guide or organized categories.

Tip: for everyday use, IPTV Smarters Player is more convenient thanks to its channel guide; VLC works better as a quick backup.
