IPTV on Windows and Mac: Computer Setup Guide for Canada
To watch IPTV on a Windows PC or a Mac, download the IPTV Smarters player for your system, choose the Xtream Codes login and enter the username, password and portal URL from your Moly IPTV email. This guide is written for viewers in Canada and follows the official Moly IPTV tutorial.
Why Watch IPTV on a Computer?
A computer is a handy second screen: you can watch in a spare room, on a desk or while travelling, using the same subscription. Moly IPTV works on Smart TVs, Fire Stick, Android devices, Apple TV, iPhone and computers. A laptop uses one of the devices covered by your plan, which can include 1, 2, 3 or 4 devices.
The player app only plays your subscription. It does not provide channels or content, and some apps may require a one-time purchase or a subscription fee, so read the download page before you install anything.
What You Need Before You Start
You need a Windows PC or Mac with an internet connection and your Moly IPTV login details.
- A Windows computer or a macOS computer or laptop.
- A stable internet connection. Wi-Fi works, and a network cable can help if pictures freeze.
- The username, password and portal URL sent to you by email after your order or free trial request.
How to Set Up IPTV on Windows
On Windows you download IPTV Smarters from the link in our tutorial, install it and choose the Xtream Codes login.
- Open the IPTV setup tutorials page and use the Windows download link given there.
- Install the app on your computer.
- Open it and select Login with Xtream Codes from the menu.
- Enter the username, password and portal URL from your Moly IPTV email.
How to Set Up IPTV on a Mac
On a Mac the process is the same: download the macOS version, install it and log in with Xtream Codes.
- Use the macOS download link on the tutorials page.
- Install the app after the download finishes.
- Choose Login with Xtream Codes from the menu.
- Enter the same username, password and portal URL.
Menu words can change slightly between app versions. If the label differs, pick the option that mentions Xtream Codes. Once logged in, open Live TV, choose a channel group and select a channel. The tutorial for phones says the same: there is no need to add an EPG URL by hand, you simply install the EPG. To learn how a TV guide works, see our IPTV EPG guide.
Xtream Codes or M3U on a Computer?
Use Xtream Codes first, because it is the login method the tutorial uses for computers. Your email also includes an M3U link, which is meant for players that cannot use Xtream Codes. Both come in the same email, so you can try another player without contacting anyone. If you want to compare them in detail, read IPTV Smarters Pro setup: Xtream Codes vs M3U.
Tips for a Smooth Picture on a Laptop
Most picture problems come from the connection, not from the computer. Moly IPTV offers SD, HD, Full HD and 4K quality, and higher quality needs a steadier connection.
- Move closer to the router or use a network cable.
- Close other apps and browser tabs that use the internet.
- Restart the player and the computer if the picture freezes.
- Read how much bandwidth IPTV needs and the buffering fix guide for more detail.
If the Login Does Not Work
Re-type your details first, since most login errors are typing mistakes. Check for extra spaces, make sure you use the portal URL from your own email, and check your spam folder if the email has not arrived. Support is available 24/7 through the contact page.
Try It Free, Then Choose a Plan
The free trial is the easiest way to test the service on your own computer. New clients can request a free 24-hour trial through WhatsApp or Telegram from the free trial page. Only 20 free trials are available each day, and trials may be limited to one per user or household. After the test, compare the IPTV subscription plans. Canadian viewers can find an overview on the IPTV Canada page. Rules about streaming differ by region, so check what applies where you live.
