Install it
Seven platforms, one account. Pick yours.
Google TV boxes, Android TV sticks and television sets, from Google Play on the device.
- Search for IPTV Deck on the device and install it.
- Open it and sign in, with an account, or by scanning the QR code with your phone, which also sends your playlists over.
- Add a playlist if the QR code did not bring one.
Updates arrive from Play on their own. Smaller ones arrive inside the app.
Not in the Amazon Appstore, so it installs with the free Downloader app, the standard way players like this get onto a Firestick. About two minutes, no computer.

The full walkthrough, the device list and every install error is on its own page: Fire TV, step by step.
From the App Store on the Apple TV.
- Search for IPTV Deck on the Apple TV.
- Sign in with the same account you use elsewhere.
One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Apple TV on the same Apple ID.
Phones and tablets, from Google Play. Install from Play where you can; it keeps itself up to date.
A tablet can switch to the television layout in Settings → Appearance → Layout.
No Play Store on the device? Plenty of Android devices never got it, a Meta Quest headset, a
projector, a TV box. Same app, installed from a file instead: open zssoftware.eu/tv-full in the
device browser (or in Downloader) and allow the install when Android asks. That file carries both
ARM builds, so it fits 32-bit and 64-bit devices alike. Needs Android 8.0 or newer.
On a Firestick use the Fire TV tab instead. It hands you a smaller file built for that hardware.
From the App Store. The same app on both, with picture-in-picture, background audio and AirPlay.
One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Apple TV on the same Apple ID.
64-bit Windows 10 and 11. The television layout on a desktop, with a mouse and keyboard where you want them.
- Download the installer from zssoftware.eu/windows and run it.
- Sign in, playlists follow.
It keeps itself up to date; the app checks on startup and offers the new version.
From the Mac App Store, Apple silicon and Intel. It shares the purchase with your iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.
Same account, same playlists.
