As I mentioned above, Flix IPTV is simply an IPTV player that can play content from IPTV services/providers. By default, you won’t find any content in the app to stream. You will have to integrate IPTV services using your login details before you can create a playlist. Follow the steps below.
1. Go to your FireStick home page and scroll to Your Apps and Games.
2. Scroll down to Flix IPTV and select the app to open it.
3. In the left-hand menu, navigate to Settings.
4. On the following menu, scroll down to User Account.
5. On the User Account screen, take note of the Mac address.
6. Open a web browser on your desktop or phone and navigate to the following address: https://flixapp.tv/mylist
7. This Flix page will ask you to fill in the Mac address and URL link for the IPTV service. When you subscribe to an IPTV service, it will send login details and a URL, sometimes called an M3U link, to the email address you used to register. It will look something like the example below:
http://013tv.com:8080/get.php?username=test-65927c&password=e657&type=m3u_plus&output=ts
8. After adding the information, click the Send button and you are good to go.
9. Open Flix IPTV on your FireStick and you will see the connected IPTV provider in the app.
Now that you have added the IPTV provider to Flix IPTV, let’s take a look at all the Flix IPTV features that can improve your streaming experience.
