Original subtitles

It all started in 2015, at a time when most people couldn't even imagine

watching TV without a set -top box.

Every installation took time, every issue required a physical visit.

For resellers and providers, growth was slow and complicated.

The developer sat back and thought.

Smart TVs were evolving, powered by systems like Tizen and WebOS, but they

still limited and underutilized.

Then came the idea.

What if the TV itself became the device?

No decoder.

No receiver.

Just an app.

That idea marked the beginning.

The first version of the app was basic, a simple OTT player that could load a

playlist and stream channels.

Instead of manually configuring each TV, the system allowed resellers to manage

users remotely, upload playlists, activate devices, and update content

single dashboard.

It was no longer just an app. It became a complete system.

At that time, the world wasn't ready yet. Over the years, everything began to

change. Internet speeds increased.

Smart TVs became more powerful.

Users started looking for simpler solutions.

Frustration with physical devices grew.

Too many devices, too many cables, too many problems.

Slowly, the idea from 2015 started to make sense.

Turning IBO player into a multi -million user app in the industry with a simple

pricing model.

5 euros yearly or 10 euros lifetime activation.

No content included.

Only a developer fee for maintenance services.

More and more users began using IPTV through apps.

What once seemed experimental became practical.

The technology improved, the experience became smoother, and the vision started

becoming reality.

After years of experimentation and refinement, a complete product was

created. IBO Player.

It was fast, clean, and stable.

Users could install it on their smart TVs, upload playlists via a web portal,

and start streaming within minutes.

No technical skills, no extra hardware.

No complications.

It's important to understand one thing.

IBO Player does not sell or provide any playlists or content.

It is simply a player, an app designed to stream content that users supply

themselves. The success didn't stop there. The vision expanded into a larger

ecosystem under the IboSaw brand.

Additional apps such as Bobby Player, Duplex Player, Virginia Player and

AllPlayer were created by the same developer.

Each attracted users in different markets, depending on their preferences

design, features, or simplicity.

However, all were built on the same foundation, to be as functional and

as possible.

Still, IBO Player remains the most popular app, widely used worldwide.

Another major step in this journey was the creation of IBODev.

IBO Dev focuses on developing custom applications tailored to broadcasting

companies, using their name, logo, and restricting access exclusively to their

customers. This allows businesses to establish a strong brand identity

relying on generic applications.

Although the cost of developing such applications is significant, it

a major shift in how companies operate and build their presence in the

broadcasting industry.

What started as an experiment became a standard.

Today, on smart TVs from Samsung, LG and Hisense, millions of users rely

on OTT players instead of physical devices.

Installation takes only minutes.

Management is remote.

Streaming is instant.

From a simple idea in 2015 to a global presence, this journey represents more

than technological progress.

It represents a shift in mindset.

From hardware to software, from manual work to remote control, and from

complexity to simplicity.
