Getting started
ACtion Media Player TV is a player — connect it to the media service you already use:
- Install ACtion Media Player TV from the Samsung or LG TV app store.
- Choose how you sign in on the login screen — Username & Password or MAC Portal.
- Username & Password: enter your server URL (including the port), username and password.
- MAC Portal: enter the portal URL (include the path, e.g.
http://server:port/c/) and a MAC address. You can tap Detect to read your TV's MAC, or type the MAC your provider registered. - Connect — your channels, movies and series will load.
Frequently asked questions
Does ACtion Media Player TV come with channels?
No. It's a media player only. You bring your own media service. ACtion Media Player TV does not include, sell or stream any content of its own.
Which providers are compatible?
Any service that gives you a server address with a username and password, or a MAC portal address. If yours does, ACtion Media Player TV should be able to connect.
Is ACtion Media Player TV a subscription?
No — it's a one-time purchase. After a 7-day free trial you unlock ACtion Media Player TV permanently with a single €9.99 + VAT payment on our website (secure checkout by Pocketsflow). Nothing renews and there's nothing to cancel.
What happens after the free trial?
New users get a 7-day free trial with every feature unlocked. When it ends, unlock lifetime access with a one-time €9.99 + VAT payment (VAT depends on your country). Buy it anytime from the paywall or Settings → "Unlock Lifetime".
Troubleshooting
"Can't connect" or no channels load
- Double-check the server/portal URL, including
http://vshttps://and the port number. - For MAC portals, make sure the URL includes the portal path (e.g.
/c/) and that the MAC is the one your service authorized. - Confirm your provider subscription is active and not expired, and that you haven't exceeded its connection limit.
- Verify the TV has a working internet connection (try another app or a web page).
"Detect" doesn't fill the MAC address
- Many portals register a specific MAC (often starting
00:1A:79:…) rather than your TV's hardware MAC. If so, type the MAC your service gave you instead of using Detect. - If auto-detect fails on your network, enter the MAC manually — the field accepts colon, dash or plain-hex formats.
Black screen after switching apps
- When you leave the App mid-playback and return, ACtion Media Player TV exits full-screen and shows the menu. Simply reopen the channel, movie or episode to resume.
Buffering or playback stutters
- Buffering is usually network- or provider-related. Try a wired connection or move closer to your router.
- In Settings, try switching the player engine (AVPlay vs HTML5) or toggling hardware decode for the content type.
Playback won't start on a specific stream
- Some streams use codecs or formats a given engine can't handle. Switch the player for that content type in Settings and try again.
