Troubleshooting IBO Pro Player
✗"Cannot connect to server"▼
Double-check that your server URL includes the https:// or http:// prefix and the correct port number. Check for trailing spaces in your username or password — copy-paste from your WhatsApp message to avoid typos.
✗Channels not loading after login▼
Go to app Settings → Reload Playlist. If the problem persists, verify your subscription is active by contacting Flickhaven via WhatsApp.
✗EPG showing wrong data or not updating▼
Go to Settings → EPG → Force Update. Ensure your device timezone is set to GMT/BST (London). EPG data refreshes daily — wait a few minutes for the update to complete.
✗App crashes on startup▼
Clear the app cache on your Firestick: go to Firestick Settings → Applications → Manage Installed Applications → IBO Pro → Clear Cache. Then relaunch the app.
✗Buffering or freezing during playback▼
Switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet using a Fire TV Ethernet adapter. Also check your internet speed — about 10 Mbps for HD, 15 Mbps for Full HD and 25 Mbps for 4K.
✗App asks to activate▼
The 7-day free trial has ended. Activate inside the app through the store's in-app purchase. Do not pay a reseller for a "lifetime licence" — the developer warns these are not official. Make sure your playlist works before you pay.

Frequently Asked Questions
QIs IBO Player Pro free?▼
Free to install, then paid. IBO Player Pro starts with a 7-day free trial; after that the app needs an activation bought inside the app. On the UK App Store that activation is a £5.99 in-app purchase. The developer warns that unofficial resellers falsely claim to sell Pro licences, so only activate through the app itself.
QWhat is the IBO IPTV app?▼
IBO IPTV usually means IBO Player Pro (sometimes written IBO Pro Player): a media player for Android, Fire TV, Samsung, LG, Roku, Apple devices and Windows. It contains no channels — the developer says it does not sell or offer any content — so you add your own playlist from your IPTV provider.
QHow do I install IBO Pro Player on Firestick without a computer?▼
You do not need a computer. On your Firestick, enable Apps from Unknown Sources in Developer Options, install the free Downloader app from the Amazon Appstore, open Downloader and enter the code 481220 (or iboproapp.com/ibopro.apk), then download and install. The whole process takes a few minutes.
QDoes IBO Pro Player support 4K?▼
It plays 4K streams when the channel itself is broadcast in 4K and your device supports it — on Firestick that means a 4K or 4K Max model. You need about 25 Mbps for 4K; Amazon's Ethernet adapter gives a steadier connection than Wi-Fi.
QWhat is the best login method for IBO Pro Player?▼
Xtream Codes API is the recommended login method. It automatically loads your full channel list, VOD library, and EPG guide — no manual URLs or file downloads needed. Simply enter your server URL, username, and password from your Flickhaven WhatsApp message.
QCan I use IBO Player Pro on an Android phone?▼
Yes. IBO Player Pro is on Google Play for Android phones, tablets and Android TV, and the developer also offers the APK at iboproapp.com. The interface works with touch, though it is designed around TV remotes.
