Hot Player IPTV in 2026: Price, Supported Devices and Setup
Overview
Hot Player is a free-to-download IPTV player with a 30-day free trial. After that, activation on the HotPlayer website costs 65 MAD (about €5.99) per device for a year, or 216 MAD (about €19.99) per device for life. It includes no channels: you load the playlist from your IPTV subscription. It runs on Samsung, LG, Android TV, Fire Stick, Roku, VIDAA and more.
Hot Player is one of the IPTV apps you can choose when you order from IPTV Americans, next to TiviMate, IBO Player and IPTV Smarters Pro. It is popular on smart TVs, because it installs straight from the Samsung and LG app stores with no sideloading.
This guide covers what Hot Player costs, which devices it runs on, and how to load your IPTV Americans playlist into it. The app facts come from the official HotPlayer website and its terms of use.
What Is Hot Player?
Hot Player (written HotPlayer by its developer, STE DIGI VIBES) is a media player for IPTV playlists. HotPlayer is clear that the app contains no channels and sells no subscriptions: you bring your own playlist from an IPTV provider.
That split matters. The app shows the channels; the IPTV subscription supplies them. If you change provider later, you keep the app and upload a new playlist.
Features listed by HotPlayer include:
- Multi list: up to 3 playlists per device, and you can switch between them.
- Favorites: save your preferred channels to one list.
- Search and sorting: search by keyword and sort channels A–Z or Z–A.
- Channel numbers: jump to a channel by number with the remote.
- Parental controls: lock or hide content with a PIN.
- Lock MAC: stops anyone else from resetting your playlist.
How Much Does Hot Player Cost?
Hot Player starts with a 30-day free trial. After the trial, the HotPlayer website offers two activations, priced in Moroccan dirhams and paid by credit or debit card:
| Activation | Price per device | Renews? |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 65 MAD (about €5.99) | Yes, every year |
| Lifetime ("Forever") | 216 MAD (about €19.99) | No, one-time |
Your card is charged in dirhams, so the dollar amount on your statement depends on the exchange rate and your bank's fees. If you buy through the Apple App Store or Google Play instead, HotPlayer says prices there may vary and store subscriptions renew automatically.
The activation pays for the app only. Your channels come from a separate IPTV plan: see the IPTV Americans plans.

How to Set Up Hot Player With IPTV Americans
- Install Hot Player on your device. Find Hot Player in your TV's app store (Samsung, LG, Google Play, Roku Channel Store, Microsoft Store or the Apple App Store). The download is free and the 30-day trial starts on first use.
- Open the app and note the MAC address. Hot Player identifies each TV or stick by its MAC address, shown in the app. Write it down or take a photo of the screen: the playlist and the activation are both tied to it.
- Pick Hot Player when you order. On the IPTV Americans order form, choose your plan and select Hot Player as your app. Once the order is confirmed, we send you the playlist details.
- Upload your playlist on hotplayer.app. On the HotPlayer website, open Upload List, enter your MAC address and add your playlist link. You can store up to 3 lists per device.
- Restart the app and lock your MAC. Reopen Hot Player and your channels load. In the app settings, use the Lock MAC button so nobody else can reset your playlist.
If the app warns that your list is wrong, the playlist link was probably cut short when it was copied. Upload it again, and check that your subscription is active. Still stuck? Contact us on WhatsApp or Telegram (support is in English).

No. Hot Player is a media player only. HotPlayer states that no channels are included and that users supply their own playlist. The channels come from your IPTV subscription, which is separate.
Which devices does Hot Player work on?
The HotPlayer site lists Samsung, LG, Android TV, Fire Stick, VIDAA TV, Roku, Whale TV and Titan OS, plus apps on the Microsoft Store and the Apple App Store.
How do I add my IPTV playlist to Hot Player?
Open the app and note the MAC address it shows. Then use the Upload List page on hotplayer.app to add your playlist link to that MAC address. You can upload up to 3 lists and switch between them.
Can I use IPTV Americans with Hot Player?
Yes. Hot Player is one of the apps you can pick on the IPTV Americans order form. After your order is confirmed, we send the playlist details you load into the app.
Is the Hot Player activation fee refundable?
HotPlayer's terms allow you to cancel a website purchase within 7 days. Purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play are refunded through those stores. This is separate from the IPTV Americans 7-day refund on your plan.
Should I use the 1-year or the lifetime activation?
The lifetime activation costs about the same as three and a half years of the yearly one. If you expect to keep the same TV or streaming stick for more than three years, lifetime works out cheaper.
Why does Hot Player say my list is wrong?
If the playlist link is wrong or has expired, HotPlayer says the app shows a warning message on your TV. Check that the link was copied in full and that your subscription is active, then upload it again.
Bottom Line
Hot Player is a low-cost way to watch IPTV on a smart TV: free for 30 days, then about €5.99 a year or €19.99 once per device. It brings no channels of its own, so pair it with an IPTV plan. IPTV Americans plans come with a 7-day refund and 7-day catch-up on supported channels.
