Many people who search for an IBO Player alternative want to keep one thing: setting up the TV with a MAC address and a device key instead of typing a long server address with the remote. Klyvo Play works that way too. Each installation shows an address in MAC format and a Device Key; your reseller, or you on the client portal, attach your playlist to those two codes, and the TV picks it up on its own. This guide explains how that works, what else to compare between players, and how to move your source in a few minutes.
Klyvo Play is a player. It provides no channel, film or series: you connect the service you already have and are authorized to use, through an Xtream login or an M3U link.
Why look for an IBO Player alternative
IBO Player is one of the players many people meet through a reseller, often set up from a device address and key. Reasons to compare it with something else are usually practical: wanting the same app on an Apple TV, iPhone, Fire TV Stick, Android phone and Windows PC, preferring another interface, needing family profiles, or wanting a different way to organize a large playlist. Players evolve, and their activation terms and plans change too, so check IBO Player's current offer on its official site before comparing. We do not describe its features in detail because we cannot verify them on every device.
MAC address and Device Key: how Klyvo Play does it
On first launch, Klyvo Play shows two codes on the welcome screen. You will find them again later in the settings, under This device:
- The address — it looks like a MAC address (six pairs of characters), but it is not your hardware's real MAC address. Klyvo Play never reads it. The code belongs to this installation of the app.
- The Device Key — a second code that confirms the address. Both are needed together, so knowing one is not enough to change anything.
On phones and tablets, long-press a code to copy it — handy to send it to your reseller. On Android, reinstalling the app keeps the same codes, so you do not have to set everything up again after a reinstall (and the free trial does not restart).
The client portal: manage the TV from your phone
The Klyvo Play client portal is at portail.klyvoplay.com. You sign in with the address and the Device Key — no account, no email, no password — and you can:
- Add a playlist: Xtream login (server, username, password) or M3U link.
- Add an EPG link (XMLTV) for a fuller TV guide.
- Force an update when your service has just added channels or titles.
- Remove a playlist, or delete all of this device's data.
The app checks its playlists at every launch and every few minutes while it is open, so a playlist added on the portal appears on the TV by itself. Full walkthrough: manage playlists with the MAC address and Device Key.
Or let your reseller do it
If you bought your line from a reseller who works with Klyvo Play, the simplest path is to send them the two codes shown on your screen. They attach the playlist — and, if they have one, the EPG link — and the TV fills in on its own. You never type anything with the remote. If you prefer, you can still enter your source yourself: under Connect your source, the Xtream tab takes the server URL, username and password, and the M3U link tab takes the full link.
What else to compare in an IBO Player alternative
Device codes are only the setup. After that, you live with the player every evening. Check:
- Platforms: Klyvo Play runs on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, Android phones and tablets, Fire TV, and Windows 10 and 11. The Android TV and Google TV app is coming soon to Google Play. There is no Samsung, LG, Mac or Roku app.
- Several playlists: Klyvo Play keeps several in My playlists, each with its state (Active, Expired or Inactive) and end date when the server provides it.
- Live TV: categories and bouquets, up to three countries first, and See all channels with search for huge lists.
- Films and series: posters, seasons and episodes, Continue watching and My list.
- Playback: a VLC-based engine for MKV, HEVC, AVI, Dolby and DTS audio, subtitles and audio tracks, fill or fit picture format.
- Family: profiles, a Kids profile that filters adult content, a parental PIN; the adult section is hidden by default.

Moving from IBO Player to Klyvo Play, step by step
- Install Klyvo Play from the App Store, Google Play or the Amazon Appstore — or from the download page on Windows.
- Note the two codes on the welcome screen.
- Attach your playlist: send the codes to your reseller, or sign in to the client portal yourself and add your Xtream login or M3U link.
- Wait a moment: the app picks up the playlist on its own. You can also select Connect your source and enter it directly.
- Set up your library: pick up to three countries, add favourites to My list, create profiles if the TV is shared.
- Check playback with Settings → Connection & stream test, which tells you whether 4K, HD or SD will play smoothly.
Keep in mind that your service limits simultaneous connections: do not stream on the old and the new player at the same time.
Several TVs and devices at home
Each installation of Klyvo Play has its own pair of codes. If you have a Fire TV Stick in the living room, an Apple TV in the bedroom and a phone, you will see three different addresses and three Device Keys. That is useful: you can attach the same playlist to each device, or a different one, and remove it from a single device without touching the others. Each new device also gets its own 10-day free trial. Write the codes down with the room they belong to — “living room”, “bedroom” — so neither you nor your reseller mixes them up. And remember that the number of screens that can watch at the same time is set by your service, not by the player: check your line's connection limit before setting up a whole house.
Is the device-code method safe?
Yes, when it is done properly. With Klyvo Play, the codes identify an installation of the app, not you: no name, no email, no hardware identifier. Your login details are stored encrypted. Only share your codes with the reseller who sets up your line, and if you give the device away, delete its data on the portal first. More in privacy and security.
FAQ
Is the Klyvo Play MAC address my TV's real MAC address? No. It only has the same format. It is generated for this installation of the app, and Klyvo Play never reads your hardware's MAC address.
Can my reseller set up Klyvo Play for me? Yes, if they work with Klyvo Play: they attach your playlist to your two codes, and the TV picks it up without typing.
What happens if I reinstall the app? On Android, the codes stay the same and the trial does not restart. On other platforms, check the codes on the welcome screen after reinstalling.
Does Klyvo Play sell playlists? No. It is a player only; the playlist comes from the service you are authorized to use.
How much does it cost? Each new device gets the full app free for 10 days, then a licence — see pricing.
