Step by step

How to install it.

Pick the row that matches your device. Every one of them ends the same way — the app opens and asks for a playlist.

Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV From the store on the television itself
  1. Open the storeGoogle Play on Android TV and Google TV, or the Amazon Appstore on a Fire TV stick.
  2. Search for Modern PlayerUse the microphone on the remote if typing is painful — say the name.
  3. Install and openIt appears on your home row afterwards. Move it to the front while you are there.
  4. Add your playlistAccount menu → Add User. Or send it from this website — see below.
iPhone, iPad, Apple TV From the App Store
  1. Open the App StoreOn the device you want to watch on.
  2. Search for Modern PlayerOn Apple TV, the Search tab on the top row.
  3. Get, then openFree to install. The seven-day trial starts by itself.
  4. Add your playlistAccount menu → Add User.

On Apple devices, licences are handled by Apple through the App Store — not through this website.

Android phone or tablet — APK When the store version is not available in your country
  1. Download the fileFrom the platform card above, when the download is live.
  2. Allow this one installAndroid asks once. Settings → Apps → the browser you used → allow from this source.
  3. Open the downloaded fileFrom the notification, or Files → Downloads.
  4. Add your playlistAccount menu → Add User.

Only ever install an APK from this website. A Modern Player build from anywhere else is not ours and we cannot vouch for what is inside it.

Typing on a television is miserable. Once the app is installed, use Upload Playlist on this website — type it on a real keyboard and it arrives on the TV.

After installing

Adding your playlist

Open Add User and pick the kind of line you have. All four work on every platform.

XTREAM CODES

Server, username, password

The most complete option. It gives you the programme guide, catch-up, series with seasons and episodes, and subtitle tracks. If your provider gave you three separate values, this is your line.

M3U / M3U8

A single playlist link

Paste the link and everything loads. If that link comes from a panel, the app quietly recognises it and unlocks the guide and catch-up behind it — most players never bother.

SINGLE STREAM

One channel address

For a single feed you want to keep an eye on. No guide, no categories, just the stream.

LOCAL MEDIA

Files already on the device

Video you have downloaded, played with the same engine, subtitles and controls as everything else.

You need a playlist before you install

Modern Player comes with nothing inside it. No channels, no films, no trial content. If you do not already have a playlist from a provider, the app will open and show you an empty library.
