Most likely causes
- The free trial period has ended, or the one-off paid activation for this MAC has lapsed on the official site.
- The MAC address the app now shows does not match the one you activated, which can happen after a reset, a reinstall or a mainboard swap.
- The playlist URL saved against your MAC has gone down, expired or changed, so activation is fine but there is nothing to load.
- The player is missing from the Samsung store for your region after a change, or the installed build is out of date.
- The app cache is corrupted after an interrupted update, so it launches but never finishes loading.
Fixes, in the order to try them
Read the message the app shows. An expired, trial ended or please activate message points at the activation on iboplayer.com; a blank or spinning list with no such message points more at the playlist or the network. That tells you which branch to work through.
Check the MAC address first. Open IBO Player and note the MAC (and device key, if shown) on its main or activation screen. Write it down exactly, including the colons, because everything else depends on it matching.
Re-activate at the official site. On a phone or computer go to iboplayer.com, enter that exact MAC, and check the activation status. If the trial has ended or the paid activation lapsed, complete the one-off activation there. That fee is separate from your Nixaiptv plan, and terms can change, so confirm the current price on the site before paying.
Re-check and re-add the playlist. While signed in on the site, confirm the playlist URL saved against your MAC is your current Nixaiptv link. If it is wrong or empty, paste the correct M3U or Xtream details and save, then reopen the app so it pulls the list.
Clear the cache or reinstall. If activation and the playlist are both correct but the app still hangs, delete IBO Player from the Samsung TV, restart the set, and reinstall it from the Samsung Apps store. This clears a corrupted cache and pulls the current build.
Confirm the MAC has not changed after reinstalling. Some Samsung sets keep the same MAC after a reinstall and some do not; if the app now shows a different MAC than the one you activated, update the MAC on iboplayer.com to match, or contact their support to move the activation.
If channels still will not load once the MAC matches and the activation is live, the playlist line itself may need checking. Send the Nixaiptv desk the MAC and a photo of the screen on WhatsApp and we will confirm your line from our side.

IBO Player not working / expired (Samsung) FAQ
Why did IBO Player suddenly say expired?
IBO Player runs on a free trial and then a one-off activation tied to the device MAC. An expired message almost always means that trial or activation lapsed on iboplayer.com, not that your Nixaiptv subscription stopped. Re-activate the MAC on the official site to clear it.
Do I have to pay again for IBO Player?
IBO Player charges a one-off activation per device after the trial, which is separate from your subscription. If you already paid it for this MAC it should not ask again unless the MAC changed. Confirm the current terms on iboplayer.com before paying anything.
The app shows a different MAC after I reinstalled. What now?
Activation is tied to the MAC, so a changed MAC breaks it. Update the MAC on iboplayer.com to the new one shown on the TV, or contact the app developer to move the activation across. Then re-add your playlist and reopen the app.
How do I know if it is IBO or my subscription?
Load the same playlist in a second player or on another device. If it works there, IBO Player or its activation is the issue. If nothing loads anywhere once the URL is correct, contact the desk to confirm your line is active.
