TL;DR: The onn 4K Pro and onn 4K Plus run Google TV, so you install an IPTV player from Google Play like any other app. No Downloader code or sideloading is needed. Open the player, then add your provider’s M3U link or Xtream Codes login. With IPFlix Pro Player you scan a QR code on the TV and enter the details on your phone. Have your playlist details ready and it takes a few minutes.

onn 4K Pro vs onn 4K Plus for IPTV
Walmart’s onn boxes are where many people land after leaving Fire TV. Both models below run Google TV and get apps from Google Play.
| onn 4K Pro | onn 4K Plus (2025) | |
|---|---|---|
| RAM | 3 GB | 2 GB |
| Storage | 32 GB | 16 GB |
| Ethernet | Built in | Not listed in the reviews we checked |
| Voice | Hands-free (far-field mics) plus remote | Remote |
| Price (US, approx.) | About $50 at launch (2024) | About $30 |
Specs are from Walmart listings, AFTVnews and Android Authority’s reviews. Android Authority found the 2025 4K Plus has a newer chip that scored higher in its benchmarks than the 4K Pro, Chromecast with Google TV and Google TV Streamer, but it has less memory and half the storage. AFTVnews measured roughly 20 GB free on the 4K Pro after its first system and app updates.
What that means for IPTV:
- Big playlists: more RAM and storage give you more room for a large playlist, its guide data and your other apps. The 4K Pro is the safer pick if your playlist is very large or you install a lot of apps.
- Live streams: the 4K Pro’s Ethernet port gives a steadier connection than Wi-Fi in a crowded building.
- Budget: the 4K Plus does the job for a normal-sized playlist at a lower price.
About our testing: IPFlix has been tested on the onn 4K Plus and on Chromecast with Google TV. We have not tested it on the onn 4K Pro. Both onn boxes run the same Google TV software and use the same Google Play store, so the steps are the same, though menu labels can vary a little between software versions.
What to have ready
Your playlist comes from your provider, not from the box or the app. Have one of these at hand:
- An M3U link: a long web address, often ending in
.m3uor.m3u8, or containingget.phpwith your username and password. - An Xtream Codes login: server address (with
http://and port, if given), username and password. - Optional: a separate EPG link for the TV guide.
The easiest place to find them is the original email or message from your provider. If you are moving from a Fire TV Stick, copy them before you reset it; our Fire TV to Google TV moving guide explains where to look. If you are not sure which type you have, read M3U vs Xtream Codes: what’s the difference.
Step by step: IPTV setup on onn 4K Pro or 4K Plus
Install the player
- Finish the onn setup and sign in with your Google account.
- Open the Apps tab on the Google TV home screen. App search on Google TV lives in this tab rather than in a separate Play Store icon.
- Search for “IPFlix Pro Player”, or press the microphone button on the remote and say it. On the 4K Pro you can also use hands-free voice.
- Select Install, then Open.
From your phone instead: open IPFlix Pro Player on Google Play, make sure you are signed in with the same Google account as the onn, tap Install and choose the onn from the device list.
Add your playlist
- Create a profile on the “Who is watching?” screen. Pick a name and avatar; tick Kid Profile if it is for a child.
- Scan the QR code on the “Add Your Playlist” screen with your phone camera, then tap the link.
- Tell the page how you got your access. Choose “Just paste what you received” if you are not sure, “I have a direct link” for M3U, or “I have login details” for Xtream Codes.
- Enter the details and, if you have one, a Custom EPG URL. Send it to the TV.
- Wait for the import. Large playlists can take up to a minute. A bad link shows an error with a retry option instead of an endless spinner.
- Pick your categories and accept the playlist’s TV guide when offered.
If you would rather type with the remote, choose “Skip - I want to enter manually with TV Remote” on the QR screen. The password field has a show/hide button, links without http:// are accepted, and get.php?...type=m3u links are recognised as M3U.
Fixing common problems on onn boxes
The import fails. Open the same link in a browser on your phone. If it does not load there, the link is wrong or the account has a problem, and only your provider can fix that. If it does load, check for a typo or a missing port in the server address.
It worked on the Fire TV but not here. Many subscriptions allow only one connection at a time. Close the player on the old device and try again.
The guide is blank or shows the wrong times. Usually the playlist and guide do not match, or the guide file uses a different time zone. See IPTV EPG not showing: fixes for tvg-id, XMLTV and time zones.
Subtitles show symbols instead of letters. That is an old code-page subtitle file being read as the wrong encoding. IPFlix decodes Windows-1254 Turkish, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew and similar files correctly. More in IPTV subtitles not working on Android TV.
The 4K Plus is running out of space. With 16 GB, it can fill up over time. On Google TV, clear cached data from your profile icon > Settings > System > Storage, and remove apps you do not use from profile icon > Settings > Apps > See all apps. Our Chromecast storage full guide has more tips that apply here too.
Is IPFlix a good fit on an onn box?
What it does:
- Handles very large playlists. On the Google TV emulator, a 183,000-channel Xtream playlist imported in about 36 seconds and its 138,000-programme guide in about 4 seconds. Reimporting keeps your old channels until the new copy is ready.
- Movies and series look like a streaming app, with TMDB posters, backdrops, year and rating, Continue Watching, and automatic next episode.
- The home screen is yours to arrange: reorder, hide and rename rows, or add any category as a row.
- Family profiles: Kids and Adult types, a per-profile adult filter, and a PIN for the adult section.
- Subtitles turn on automatically in your app language when the audio is in another language (you can set this to Off or a specific language per profile).
What it does not do: recording, multiview, catch-up/timeshift, Stalker/MAC portals, or syncing between devices. If you need those, our honest TiviMate comparison explains where TiviMate is the better choice.
Price: free to download, with a 7-day free trial that unlocks everything. After the trial you can buy a yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime licence through Google Play in your local currency (in the US about $7.99 a year or $24.99 lifetime). A licence covers one device. No ads and no separate account.
FAQ
Do I need Downloader on an onn 4K Pro?
No. The onn runs Google TV with Google Play, and IPFlix Pro Player is listed there. You install it from the Apps tab or from your phone.
Which is better for IPTV, the onn 4K Pro or the 4K Plus?
The 4K Pro has more RAM, twice the storage and an Ethernet port, which helps with large playlists and steady live streams. The 4K Plus is cheaper and has a newer chip. For a normal playlist either works; for very large ones, the Pro gives you more headroom.
Can I use Xtream Codes instead of an M3U link?
Yes. Choose “I have login details” on the phone page, or Xtream Codes when entering manually, and type the server, username and password.
Does the licence cover my other TVs?
No. A licence covers the device it was bought on. Each TV gets its own 7-day trial, and you can restore a purchase on the same Google account.
Will it play 4K and HDR?
The onn 4K Pro and 4K Plus output 4K. Whether you see 4K or HDR depends on what your provider streams and what your TV supports.
