Frequently asked questions

IPTVplayr is an IPTV player that runs in a web browser, including the one built into a Tesla. It plays your own M3U playlist or Xtream Codes subscription on the car screen, a phone or a computer. We provide the player only: you need your own IPTV subscription or M3U playlist.

No. IPTVplayr is a player only. We do not host, provide, or distribute any content. You need your own legal IPTV subscription or M3U playlist from a third-party provider, and IPTVplayr plays it.

IPTVplayr costs $3 per month, or $30 for a full year (a $6 saving), in US dollars. You start with a free 30-minute trial. There are no setup fees and no contracts, and because each payment is a one-off purchase, nothing renews and there is nothing to cancel.

Yes. The first 30 minutes are free, with every feature and no payment details. That is enough to connect your playlist and check that it plays in your Tesla before you pay.

IPTVplayr works on all Tesla models with a web browser: Tesla Model S (2012+), Model 3 (2017+), Model X (2015+), and Model Y (2020+). It works in both parked mode and while Supercharging.

Yes. IPTVplayr runs in the Model 3 browser, and its interface is laid out for the 15-inch touchscreen, with buttons large enough to tap from the seat.

By default, IPTVplayr plays while your Tesla is in Park, including while Supercharging. If you turn on Drive Mode (currently in Beta), playback continues while the car is moving, so your passengers can keep watching. Drive Mode is made for passengers: the driver keeps their eyes on the road, not on the screen. Always follow your local traffic laws.

Yes, in any car whose center screen has a web browser. IPTVplayr is a website, so it opens the same way in the XPeng, BYD, NIO and Li Auto browsers, and in Vivaldi on Polestar, Volvo, Renault, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. We have a setup page per brand at iptvplayr.com/cars, each one saying which models have the browser and whether that car allows video while moving. Most cars other than Tesla only allow the browser while parked, and some drop video to audio only once you pull away.

Yes. The car is parked while it charges, so IPTVplayr plays for the whole session. A charging stop is when most people use it.

It takes about 30 seconds. Open the Tesla browser and go to iptvplayr.com, scan the QR code with your phone, then enter your M3U URL or Xtream Codes login on the phone. The car loads your playlist as soon as you finish. There is nothing to install or download.

M3U is a file format that lists media streams. Most IPTV providers give you an M3U URL (like http://provider.com/playlist.m3u) that contains all your channels. IPTVplayr reads that URL and sorts what it finds into live TV, movies and series.

Xtream Codes is an API used by many IPTV providers. If your provider gives you a domain, username, and password (instead of just an M3U URL), they use Xtream Codes. IPTVplayr supports both M3U URLs and Xtream Codes providers.

No. IPTVplayr is a website, so it runs in the Tesla browser as it is. There is no app to download and nothing to update: you open the browser and go to iptvplayr.com.

IPTVplayr reads any standard M3U playlist and any Xtream Codes provider, over HTTP or HTTPS, and plays most stream formats (HLS, TS, MP4). The free trial is there so you can check your own playlist in your Tesla.

Your playlist is sorted into live TV, movies and series, with posters and descriptions when we find a match. You can search the whole library, save favorites, and resume a movie or an episode where you stopped. The Live TV tab starts with a Live sports row: the matches on television right now, each with the channel of your playlist that shows it. Share links let a friend watch one title without an account, and Drive Mode (Beta) keeps playback going for passengers on the road. The interface is built for a car touchscreen, and the playlist refreshes on its own.

Drive Mode is a Beta feature that keeps your stream playing while the car is in motion, so passengers can keep watching on a road trip or the daily commute. You switch it on or off with a single tap right from the player. Because it is still in Beta, you may occasionally hit a rough edge. Toggling it off and on usually resolves it, and we ship improvements regularly.

Drive Mode is for passengers only. The driver must never watch video while the vehicle is moving. Keep your eyes on the road, leave the screen to your passengers, and follow your local laws on in-car screens.

Yes. Open any channel, movie, or episode and tap Share to create a private link. Anyone with the link can watch that one title in their browser, without an account, an app, or a subscription. You choose how long the link lasts (from 1 hour to 7 days), you see when someone is watching, and you can stop a link at any time, which ends the viewer's playback immediately.

No. They open the link and press play in any recent browser. They never see your playlist or credentials: a share link gives access to the one channel, movie, or episode you chose, and only until it expires or you stop it.

Yes. IPTVplayr uses the details your Xtream Codes provider sends and looks up the rest, so a movie or a series comes with its poster, description, cast, director and rating when we find a match.

Yes. The Live TV tab starts with a Live sports row: the matches on television at that moment, or about to start, each with the channel of your playlist that shows it. A card says who is playing, the competition, the kickoff time and whether the match has started. Tap it and that channel plays. The row covers football, basketball, American football, ice hockey, rugby, tennis, combat sports and motorsport. It is built from a public television listing, so a match appears only when that listing names a channel you have, or your country's broadcaster of its competition, and the row is hidden when nothing is on.

Yes, with search. It matches the language and country tags your provider puts on its channels, so typing a tag such as FR, AR or VOSTFR brings up those channels. When a movie comes in several audio versions, they are grouped on one card and you pick the version in the player.

Yes. Tap the heart on a channel, a movie or a series, then use the favorites button to see only those. Favorites are saved with your account, so they are still there next time and on your other devices.

Yes. IPTVplayr is a website, so it works wherever your Tesla has an internet connection, including the United States, Canada and Mexico. What you can watch depends on your IPTV provider.

Yes, in every European country, including the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria and Portugal. Playlists that mix several languages work as they are.

Yes, in every Canadian province. It works with English-language and French-language IPTV providers alike, and this site is also available in French.

Yes, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait. Arabic channel and movie names display correctly, and this site is available in Arabic, laid out right to left.

Yes, wherever the car browser can open iptvplayr.com, including China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong. Channel names in Chinese, Japanese or Korean display as your provider wrote them.

First check that your M3U URL or Xtream Codes login works in another IPTV player. Make sure your Tesla has a stable connection (Wi-Fi or LTE), then tap Refresh playlist at the top of the library. If it still fails, write to us from the Support tab in Settings.

Buffering usually comes from a slow connection or from your IPTV provider. Check the signal in your Tesla, and try another Wi-Fi network or LTE. If only some channels buffer, the cause is most likely your provider's servers.

No. IPTVplayr streams from your IPTV provider as you watch, so it needs a connection the whole time. Your Tesla must be on Wi-Fi or LTE.

Yes. IPTVplayr is a media player and provides no content of its own. You are responsible for having the legal right to access what you watch through your IPTV provider, so use only legal IPTV subscriptions. We apply a copyright notice-and-action policy: valid complaints from rights holders lead to disabled share links and, for repeat infringers, terminated accounts.

IPTVplayr does not host content and cannot see what users watch, so we rely on notices from rights holders. Valid infringement notices sent to our contact email, shown on the Terms page, are reviewed promptly: we disable the share links concerned, and accounts subject to repeated valid notices are terminated without refund. Use only IPTV services you have the legal right to access.

Very little. IPTVplayr asks for no personal registration: no name, no email, no password. We store your M3U URL or Xtream Codes credentials in encrypted form, an anonymous user ID derived from your playlist, and standard session data (a session cookie and the IP addresses your devices connect from) used for authentication, security, and enforcing the device limit. We do not track what you watch, sell your data, or share information with third parties.

Your M3U URL and Xtream Codes credentials are encrypted before they are stored. They are used only to fetch your playlist and play your streams. We never share them, and other users never see them, including the people you send share links to.

There is nothing to cancel. Every payment buys a fixed period, 30 or 365 days, and nothing renews on its own. No card is kept on file, so you are never charged again unless you decide to pay. When the period ends, access simply stops until you buy another one.

No. There is no subscription and no card on file. Each payment is a one-off purchase of 30 or 365 days, through Stripe for cards or NOWPayments for cryptocurrency, and nothing recurs.

Card payments appear as PLAYR. If you see a charge you do not recognise, contact us before disputing it with your bank, and we will find the payment and sort it out.

Yes. A new payment adds its days after the end of your current period, so you lose nothing by paying early.

A Stripe payment page stays valid for about 30 minutes and then expires without charging you. Go back to the app and start the payment again to get a fresh page.

Card payments can be refunded within 14 days of purchase, no questions asked. If you paid by card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay and want a refund, write to our contact email, shown on the Terms page, with the date and amount of the payment. The refund goes back to your card and ends the access that payment bought. If something went wrong with a card payment, contact us before opening a dispute with your bank: a refund from us is faster than a chargeback. Cryptocurrency payments are final because a transaction cannot be reversed on the blockchain, so please use the free 30-minute trial before paying in crypto. Refunds never cover third-party IPTV services.

We accept cards (Visa, Mastercard, and other major cards), Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link, and Amazon Pay, with checkout handled by Stripe, as well as cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, USDC, Litecoin, and 100+ others) processed by NOWPayments. Which methods you see depends on your country and browser. Card details are entered on Stripe's secure payment page, so IPTVplayr never sees or stores your card number. Every payment is a one-off purchase of 30 or 365 days of access: no card is kept on file and nothing renews automatically. If you would rather not use a card, crypto works just as well.
