Does IPTV work on PlayStation

Does IPTV Work on PlayStation? (PS4 & PS5)

The PlayStation 4 and 5
are incredible machines. They can play 4K games, stream Netflix, and even play Blu-ray discs. But can they play
IPTV? This is a question many gamers ask. They want to switch from playing FIFA to watching a real football
match without changing inputs. The answer is… complicated. Unlike Xbox, PlayStation does not have an IPTV
player in its store. But don’t worry, there is a secret workaround. In this guide, we will show you how to watch
IPTV on your PS4 or PS5. For a smoother experience, we recommend using IPTV
Smarters PRO.

Sony makes it hard, but not impossible.

The Problem: No
Apps

Sony is very strict.
They do not allow any IPTV players (like Smarters or TiviMate) on the PlayStation Store. If you search for them,
you will find nothing.

So, how do we watch? We
use the Plex app.

Step 1: Set Up Plex
on Your Computer

You need a computer (PC
or Mac) for this part.

1. Download and install Plex Media Server on your computer.
2. Create a free Plex account.
3. Download a plugin called xTeVe (this acts as a bridge).
4. Open xTeVe and paste your M3U URL.
5. Link xTeVe to Plex (it will look like a TV tuner to Plex).

Your computer does the heavy lifting, sending the
signal to the PS5.

Step 2: Watch on
PlayStation

Now that your computer
is broadcasting the channels:

1. Turn on your PS4 or PS5.
2. Go to the PlayStation Store.
3. Download the Plex app.
4. Log in with the same account you used on your computer.
5. You will see your “Live TV” section with all your channels.

Plex organizes your channels into a beautiful
interface.

Alternative: The
Hidden Web Browser

If the Plex method is
too hard, there is a simpler (but uglier) way. The PS5 has a hidden web browser.

1. Send a message to a friend on PSN with the link: www.google.com.
2. Click the link in the chat. This opens the browser.
3. Search for “IPTV Web Player” (or use your provider’s web link).
4. Log in and watch.

Using the browser is clumsy, but it works in a pinch.

Conclusion

Watching IPTV on
PlayStation is possible, but it is not easy. You have to jump through hoops. If you just want to watch TV
without the hassle, we strongly recommend buying a $30 Fire Stick and plugging it into the back
of your TV. It is much faster and easier. But if you are determined to use your console, Plex is the way to go.

Sometimes the easiest solution is just to buy a
dedicated streaming device.
