IPTVX: The Apple TV IPTV Player, What It Costs and Where It Runs

What IPTVX is

IPTVX is a player, not an IPTV service. It shows nothing until you add a source, and its App Store listing says so plainly: “Neither IPTVX nor its founder provides digital content and they are not responsible for your content.” The channels come from whichever service's login you add.

According to the listing, IPTVX “supports the major formats and services including Xtream API, M3U, M3U8, PLEX and SMB”. It lists a TV Guide tab with an EPG grid, TV archive and catch-up, parental control, multiple playlists, Family Sharing, offline mode on iOS, and synchronization of your data through your Apple iCloud account, so a playlist added on an iPhone appears on the Apple TV too.

The current version is 25.1, released on November 9, 2026. Its release notes mention a better channel-surfing map on Apple TV and fixes for crashes on Apple TV. On the US App Store it shows 4.4 out of 5 from about 3,200 ratings; that's the store's figure, not a review of ours. We haven't run IPTVX for this page; every detail is from the App Store and the developer's site.

Where IPTVX runs

IPTVX started on Apple devices, and that's still where it's complete. Its developer now lists Android devices as well, but not all of them are ready yet.

So the answer to “IPTVX on Linux” is no: the developer lists no Linux or Windows version. On a Windows PC or Mac, our IPTV on PC and Mac guidecompares the desktop players that do exist. On Fire TV, the developer hasn't published a release yet; when it does, it will be sideload-only, which Vega OS models can't do. Don't install IPTVX files from other sites. For Android TV boxes, our IPTV on Android TV guide covers the other players.

What IPTVX costs

IPTVX is free to download. The App Store lists optional in-app purchases; these are the US prices shown on November 10, 2026:

Paying monthly for a full year comes to $47.88 (12 × $3.99), so the yearly FULL subscription at $28.99 costs less if you plan to keep the app; the six-month option works out to about $3.17 a month. The listing doesn't say which features the free download leaves out, so check inside the app before you subscribe. On Android, the developer's Fire TV page says purchases go through Google Play, with no Amazon purchase option at the moment. Prices change, so the App Store page is the place to confirm them.

The app's price is separate from your IPTV service: IPTVX charges for the player, and the service charges for the channels.

What the IPTVX privacy label says

The App Store shows a privacy label that the developer fills in and Apple doesn't verify. For IPTVX, the developer declares that location and usage data may be used to track you, and that purchases, location, user content, identifiers, usage data and diagnostics are collected but not linked to your identity. The listing also says your IPTVX data syncs through your own iCloud account. If tracking matters to you, read the full label on the App Store page before you install.

How to add your IPTV login to IPTVX

IPTVX takes the same two common login types as most players. Which one you use depends on what your provider sends:

• Xtream API (Xtream Codes). Three values: a server URL including the port, a username and a password. This loads live channels, the guide and on-demand titles together, so use it when you have it.
• M3U or M3U8 playlist. One long link. This loads the channel list; the guide may need a separate guide address.

In IPTVX, add a new playlist, choose the login type your provider sent, and enter the details exactly as written. Because IPTVX syncs through iCloud, a playlist added on one Apple device appears on your others signed in to the same Apple ID. Our M3U vs Xtream Codes guide explains the two types in detail, and our IPTV on Apple TV guide covers the Apple TV setup screens in general.

IPTVX vs other Apple TV players

IPTVX is one of three Apple TV players we cover. They take the same login, so the choice comes down to price and features. The Smarters Player Lite row is from its US App Store listing read November 10, 2026, and the GSE Smart IPTV Pro row from its listing read October 30, 2026.

If you use APTV, IPTVX is the closest match in features; our page on the APTV app and its App Store status has the details. For every device, the best IPTV players compared page lists the options, and our UHF guide covers the Apple TV player that also plays Plex, Jellyfin and Emby.
