BOB Player and BOB Pro: Setup and Tips
How BOB Player and BOB Pro work on Smart TVs, Fire TV and phones, how to add your playlist, and how they differ from IBO Player.
BOB Player and BOB Pro are popular IPTV players for Samsung, LG and Android-based devices. They are clean, fast and easy for the whole family, with live TV, films, series and catch-up in separate menus.
BOB Player or BOB Pro?
Both are made for the same job. BOB Pro is the newer, more polished version with a refreshed interface on many devices. Install whichever your TV's app store offers. The setup steps are the same.
Installing the app
- Samsung (Tizen) and LG (webOS): search the TV's app store.
- Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV, phones: Google Play or the Amazon Appstore, or the developer's website.
Adding your playlist
Like IBO Player, BOB uses the device's MAC address and device key.
- Open the app and take a photo of the screen showing the MAC and key.
- Send it to us on WhatsApp or Telegram, or add the playlist yourself on BOB's official website using those details.
- Restart the app.
Full steps are in our MAC activation guide; they are the same for BOB.
Tips for daily use
- Favourites: add your most-watched channels so they appear first.
- Search: use it in Movies and Series instead of scrolling through thousands of titles.
- TV guide: press the guide button (or "EPG" in the menu) to see what is on now and next.
- Player choice: if a channel freezes but works in another app, change the internal player in BOB's settings.
Activation
BOB apps include a free trial. After that, an activation per device is paid to the developer, for a year or for life. BOB PRO and BOB Player are both in our premium player licenses, so you can activate them through us.
BOB vs IBO
They are very similar. People choose based on how the menus feel on their TV. If one is slow on your model, try the other: your IPTV subscription works in both.
Frequently asked questions
Can I move my BOB activation to a new TV?
Activations are tied to the device. Ask the developer's support or buy a new activation for the new TV.
Why are some films missing posters?
Posters come from online movie databases. New or rare titles may not have one yet.
Does BOB Player support catch-up?
Yes, on channels with catch-up enabled, up to four days back.
