Best IBO Player Pro Setup for 2 Smart TVs at Once 2026

Install IBO Player Pro on each TV, add your playlist to each one, and set each TV's DNS to 1.1.1.1. Each TV has its own MAC address, so you set them up one at a time.

Before you start, check that your plan allows two streams at the same time.

What You Need Before You Start

Get these things ready first. Setup goes faster when you have everything in one place.

• Two supported TVs or devices. For example, a Samsung Smart TV (Tizen), an LG webOS TV, an Android TV Box, a Xiaomi Mi Box S, a Fire TV Stick 4K Max or an Apple TV.
• An active SubTV IP subscription. Your login details arrive with instant activation after you order.
• A plan that covers two screens. Ask WhatsApp support to confirm this before setup.
• A phone or computer. You use it to add your playlist on the IBO Player website.
• A stable home network. A cable (Ethernet) connection is best. Strong Wi-Fi also works.

Why Two TVs Need Two Separate Setups

IBO Player Pro is licensed per device. Each TV shows its own MAC address. That is a short code that names one device on a network. Each TV also shows its own device key.

Your playlist is linked to that MAC address. So adding the playlist on TV 1 does not add it to TV 2. You must repeat the steps on the second TV.

The good news is that the steps are the same on both TVs. Once you finish the first TV, the second one takes only a few minutes.

Step-by-Step: Set Up IBO Player Pro on Both TVs

Follow these steps on TV 1 first. Then repeat them on TV 2. Menu names can be a little different on each TV model.

1. Turn on TV 1 and connect it to your home network.
2. Open the TV app store. On Samsung, go to "Apps". On LG, open "LG Content Store". On Android TV, open "Google Play Store".
3. Search for "IBO Player Pro" and install it.
4. Open the app. Write down the MAC address and device key shown on the screen.
5. On your phone or computer, go to the IBO Player website and open "Manage Playlist".
6. Log in with the MAC address and device key from TV 1.
7. Choose "Add Playlist". Enter your SubTV IP playlist link or Xtream login details. Give it a clear name like "Living Room".
8. Save the playlist. Then go back to the TV and restart IBO Player Pro.
9. Open your playlist on TV 1 and let it load fully.
10. Now go to TV 2. Repeat steps 2 to 9 using TV 2's own MAC address and device key. Name this playlist "Bedroom" so you can tell them apart.

Set DNS on Each TV to Reduce Buffering

Some internet providers slow down streaming traffic. This is called throttling. Changing your DNS can help. DNS is the system that turns website names into addresses your TV can reach.

The fact sheet setting is Cloudflare DNS: 1.1.1.1. Set it on each TV separately.

1. On Samsung (Tizen), go to "Settings > General > Network > Network Status > IP Settings".
2. Change "DNS Setting" to "Enter Manually" and type 1.1.1.1.
3. On LG webOS, go to "Settings > All Settings > Network", pick your connection, and choose "Edit".
4. Turn off "Set Automatically" and type 1.1.1.1 in the DNS field.
5. On Android TV or Xiaomi Mi Box S, go to "Settings > Network & Internet", pick your network, and set "IP settings" to "Static". Enter 1.1.1.1 as DNS.
6. Press "OK" or "Save". Restart the TV so the new DNS takes effect.

Set the Buffer to 5,000 ms

A buffer is a small store of video your TV loads ahead of time. A bigger buffer helps the picture keep playing during short network dips. The recommended setting is 5,000 ms, which is 5 seconds.

• Open IBO Player Pro and go to "Settings".
• Look for a buffer or player option.
• If you see one, set it to 5,000 ms.
• If your version does not show it, skip this step. DNS still helps.

Do this on both TVs. Matching settings make it easier to find problems later.

Device Comparison for a Two-TV Setup

You can mix and match devices. For example, one Samsung TV in the living room and an Android TV Box in the bedroom. This table shows the main differences.

Getting the Best Picture on Both Screens

SubTV IP streams in 4K at 60 fps using HEVC. HEVC is a video format that keeps sharp quality while using less data. Most modern smart TVs can play it.

Two 4K streams at once use more internet than one. So your home network matters. Here are simple ways to help both TVs run well:

• Connect at least one TV with an Ethernet cable.
• Keep your router close to the TVs, with few walls in between.
• Pause big downloads on other devices while you watch.
• Restart your router once in a while.

The service also runs on an anti-freeze server cluster with 99.9% uptime. That means the servers are built to stay online and keep streams steady. Your home network is the part you control.

If a Step Fails

Most problems have a quick fix. Try these in order.

The Playlist Does Not Show on TV 2

Check that you used TV 2's own MAC address and device key. A common mistake is reusing TV 1's details. Fix it on the website, then restart the app.

One TV Works but the Other Stops

Your plan may cover only one stream at a time. Message WhatsApp support and ask if your plan allows two screens at once.

The Picture Freezes or Buffers

• Check that DNS is set to 1.1.1.1 on that TV.
• Set the buffer to 5,000 ms if your app has the option.
• Move that TV to a cable connection if you can.

The App Will Not Install

Make sure your TV software is up to date. Look in the TV settings under "Support" or "About" for a software update option. Then search the app store again.

Keep Your Setup Running Smoothly

Home tech changes fast. TVs get new software, and apps get new menus. For a wider view of where home tech is heading, The Atlantic Tech is a good read.

For your own setup, a few habits help a lot:

• Update IBO Player Pro when the TV asks.
• Keep the names "Living Room" and "Bedroom" so you never mix up playlists.
• Save both MAC addresses in a note on your phone.
• Contact WhatsApp support if your login details change.
