Because GLOTV IPTV uses a Stalker portal, you need an app that can log in with a portal URL and a MAC address. Many popular IPTV players only accept playlists or usernames, so here is a short list of apps that do support portals, sorted by device.
Quick overview
| Device | Apps that support Stalker portals |
|---|---|
| MAG box | Built in – no app needed |
| Samsung / LG TV | Smart STB |
| Android TV, Google TV, Firestick | Smart STB, TiviMate |
| iPhone, iPad, Apple TV | iSTB Lite, STB IPTV Lite, Tivimax IPTV Player |
| Windows PC | Kodi + Stalker Client add-on, IPTV Player Zero |
| Mac | StbEmuTV, iSTB Lite, IPTV Player Zero, Kodi |
Smart STB (Smart TVs, Android, Firestick)
Turns your device into a virtual MAG box, so the menus look just like on a set-top box. It shows its own MAC address, which you send to us for activation. A licence from the developer is needed after the trial. Full guide: GLOTV IPTV with Smart STB.
TiviMate (Android TV, Firestick)
A fast, modern player. Choose Add playlist > Stalker portal, enter the portal URL, then replace the MAC address it suggests with the one we activated. The free version is limited; Premium unlocks movies, series and more.
Kodi with Stalker Client (Windows, Mac, Android)
Free and open source. Install the Stalker Client add-on from Kodi’s PVR clients, open Configure > Portal 1 and enter the MAC address and the server (portal) address. Tip: Kodi may need the full portal path ending in /stalker_portal/c/ – ask us if you get an authentication error.
iSTB Lite, STB IPTV Lite and Tivimax (Apple devices)
Available in the App Store. iSTB Lite and STB IPTV Lite are free and built for portal providers; Tivimax supports portals too and offers a free Lite version to test before you buy. Add a portal, enter the URL and MAC address, then save.
IPTV Player Zero and StbEmuTV (computers)
IPTV Player Zero is a desktop player for Windows and macOS that supports Stalker and MAC portal sources. StbEmuTV is a paid Stalker app made for Mac.
Which one should you choose?
- Simplest: a MAG box – see our MAG setup guide.
- No extra device: Smart STB on your Smart TV.
- Best on Android or Firestick: TiviMate or Smart STB.
- Free on a computer: Kodi with Stalker Client.
App names, prices and store availability can change. Whichever you choose, send us the MAC address shown in the app on WhatsApp and we activate it. New to portals? Read what a Stalker portal is, then pick a GLOTV IPTV plan.
