FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The questions we are asked most often about AICKO IPTV.
Is AICKO IPTV free?
Yes. Downloading and using the app are free, on every platform. AICKO IPTV is a player: you need an IPTV subscription of your own, taken out with the provider of your choice. We neither sell nor resell any subscription.
Does AICKO IPTV supply channels or movies?
No. The app hosts and broadcasts no content. It plays only the playlist you enter, whether an Xtream Codes account or an M3U URL. Everything you see comes from your own provider.
Does AICKO IPTV play audio and MP3 files too?
Yes. The player is built on the libmpv engine and plays video streams and audio streams alike: radio stations and MP3 or AAC tracks in your playlist.
Is there a software version for the PC?
Yes, a full software version for Windows 10 and 11, installed directly with no app store in between. Head to the Download page.
Which subscription formats are accepted?
The two most widespread: Xtream Codes (server address, username and password) and an M3U playlist (a plain URL). You can save several accounts and switch between them without entering everything again. See the Xtream Codes and M3U page.
Which devices does AICKO IPTV run on?
On iPhone and iPad (iOS 14+), on Android (7 and later), on Windows 10 and 11, and on television: Android TV, Fire TV and Samsung (Tizen 4.0 and above). See the Smart TV and boxes page.
How do I install AICKO IPTV on my television?
Install the app from your television’s store, then use pairing by code: the television shows six digits, you enter your credentials on your phone, and the television connects on its own. There is no URL to type with the remote.
Are my favourites kept if I change device?
Yes, as long as you use the same account. Favourites, playback progress and hidden categories are synced. You can start a movie on your phone and finish it on the television. See Sync.
Does the app show advertising?
No. AICKO IPTV shows no advertising and does not sell your data. See our privacy policy for the details of the data processed.
Which languages is the app available in?
In six languages: French, English, Arabic, German, Spanish and Italian. The interface follows your device’s language automatically, and the layout flips right to left for Arabic. See Six languages.
Why will my channels not start?
In the vast majority of cases the cause lies with the subscription and not with the player: expired credentials, too many simultaneous connections, or a server that is briefly down. Check your credentials, then try the same playlist on another network. If the problem persists, write to us and mention your platform.
