IPTV on Mac

Prerequisites for IPTV on Mac

Before installing an IPTV app on your Mac, check the following:

• A Mac running macOS 11 Big Sur or later
• A stable Internet connection (Ethernet recommended for 4K)
• An active doubleclick iptv subscription
• Your Xtream Codes credentials or M3U link

Installing doubleclick iptv on Mac

doubleclick iptv is available for free on the Mac App Store. Open the App Store from your Dock, search for “doubleclick iptv” and click Get then Install. The app is compatible with Intel and Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3) and offers a native interface optimised for macOS.

After installation, launch doubleclick iptv from the Applications folder. The app prompts you to connect via Xtream Codes or M3U list. Enter your credentials and get immediate access to your live channels, VOD and EPG guide.

Alternatives: VLC and IINA for Mac

If you prefer a lightweight solution, VLC Media Player is available for free on Mac from the VideoLAN official website. Open VLC, go to File > Open Network Stream and paste your M3U URL. VLC supports timeshift and recording.

IINA is an excellent modern alternative, specially designed for macOS. This open-source video player offers a native interface, Touch Bar support, and perfect integration with macOS features like Picture-in-Picture. IINA plays M3U lists and supports subtitles.

Xtream Codes setup on Mac

In doubleclick iptv for Mac, select “Xtream Codes API” from the login screen. Enter the information provided during your registration: the server URL, your username and your password. The Xtream Codes connection is recommended as it offers faster channel loading, automatic organisation into categories, and access to the full EPG guide.

If you are using an M3U list, simply paste the provided URL into the corresponding field. The app will automatically load all channels and VOD.

Optimisation for Apple Silicon Macs

Macs equipped with Apple Silicon chips (M1, M2, M3) offer exceptional performance for IPTV streaming. Hardware video decoding enables smooth 4K playback with minimal power consumption. Native Apple Silicon apps deliver the best performance.

If you use a MacBook, power saving mode may reduce video quality. For an optimal experience, plug in your Mac and use an external 4K screen if available.
