How to install Kemo IPTV on Apple TV

Type your details
Enter the server URL with http:// and port, username and password. When the keyboard appears, your iPhone shows a notification so you can type there instead.

Tips for Apple TV
- Apple TV 4K (2021 or newer) with Ethernet is one of the smoothest Kemo IPTV devices for 4K.
- iCloud sync in some players copies favourites to your iPhone and iPad.
- Set Video and Audio → Format to 4K SDR and let Match Content switch to HDR only when needed.
Troubleshooting Kemo IPTV on Apple TV
The app plays sound but a black picture
Switch the player's engine in its settings (e.g. from 'AVPlayer' to 'MPV' or 'VLC engine'). Some channel encodings need the alternative engine on tvOS.
Login fails on Apple TV but works on the phone
Check for an automatically capitalised first letter in the username — the tvOS keyboard capitalises by default.
