Swoop TV on Apple TV

Because good tvOS players are sold right in the App Store, Apple TV is one of the quicker devices to get going. There is no sideloading and no developer menu, just install and log in.

Before you start

  • A Apple TV that is online
  • The Swoop TV login shown in your dashboard. Not signed up? Grab a free trial first.
  • A player app, for example: IPTVX, iPlayTV, Smarters Player Lite

Setup, one step at a time

  1. Install a player from the App Store

    On the Apple TV, open the App Store, search for a player your dashboard lists and download it.

  2. Log in with the details from your dashboard

    Pick “Xtream Codes” as the login method (a few players label it “Xtream API”). Copy the server URL, username and password exactly as your Swoop TV dashboard lists them. On the very first sign-in, give the app one to three minutes to pull in the channels and guide.

  3. Switch on the TV guide

    Find the EPG option in the player’s settings and enable it. A few tvOS players want the separate EPG link, which you can copy from your dashboard.

Getting a steadier picture

Type on your iPhone instead

As soon as a text field opens, your iPhone shows a keyboard prompt. Entering a long password with it beats the Siri Remote by a mile.

Questions about Apple TV setup

What Apple TV hardware does this work on?

Every generation of Apple TV 4K, plus Apple TV HD, as long as tvOS is up to date.

Is there a version of the player for iPhone?

Often, yes. Lots of tvOS players also ship for iPhone and iPad, so look at the App Store page of the one you picked.

Something not working?

Nine times out of ten, a restart of the player and the device, or a network cable, clears it up. For anything else, try these: m3u or xtream: which login , add your iphone as well . Or write to support and tell us which device and player you are using.
