Defining what is SOPlayer simply means a free client (application), TV media player, or middleware that can be downloaded and installed on any compatible streaming device. SOPlayer uses an IP Lock system which means you cannot change your IP address. To further explain the app, it provides an IPTV/OTT platform but does not deliver any streaming TV/VOD content on its own.
Once SO Player is activated and connected to the IPTV service server, you can start watching streaming live TV channels and VODs. Subsequently, the TV Player works in conjunction with the IPTV service to deliver streaming TV/VOD content across the user’s IP address. There is no hardware to install (set-top box, received, antenna).
You do not need an account or pay to download/install the media player. This comes later after you install the TV player. Again, you can install the player on any compatible streaming device to receive live TV/VOD that also brings interactive services across an IP-based network.
How to Activate and Use SO Player to Watch TV Online?
An IPTV service provider is needed to activate SO Player. You can find the player inside the Google Play Store, or the compatible device’s built-in app store. Simply install the IPTV player and enter the activation/login credentials provided by the IPTV service. They are the ones that deliver all the live channels and VOD streaming content. Now you know what is SOPlayer and how it can be activated…
SOPlayer is very similar to the LUX Player, Nora Go, ISG GO, and XPlay media players. All of them require the Device PIN codes, Username, and Password. Not all of them require the Provider ID. During 2023, SO Player was removed from the Apple Play Store for reasons unknown.
To further your understanding of what is SO Player, you can install it across different compatible devices. However, no longer can it be downloaded to iOS/Apple devices. But there’s another very similar app called LUX Player for iOS/Apple devices that can be used instead– see links below.
SO Player for smart TVs such as Samsung and LG. Just search the built-in app store. I use the SO Player for the Firestick but other compatible devices can be used.
