Setup steps for OTTPlayer
Step 1: Create your OTTPlayer account
Register for free on the OTTPlayer website or inside the app, and confirm your email.
Step 2: Sign in on each device
Install OTTPlayer on the TV, phone or computer and sign in with that account. Each device then appears in the Devices list on the website.
Step 3: Upload the playlist and assign it
On the website open Playlists → Add, name it IPTV Trends, paste your M3U link and save. Then tick the devices that should receive it.
Your welcome email (sent the minute your trial or plan starts) holds four things: Server URL, Username, Password and an M3U link. Not in your inbox? Look in spam or promotions, or ask support to send it again.
Step 4: Reload on the device
Close and reopen OTTPlayer on each device. The playlist and its channel logos appear.
