For free. Online. Comfortable.
And so, friends, we have created this site to support all users of the RemoteFork program, which is available for both Windows computers and Android phones. Our goal is to create instructions for installing a remote fork player for all smart TVs in Russian.
A little history, previously it was possible to install only Forkplayer for smart TV, and when the era of Android smartphones arrived, we decided to create an application for Windows and Android that could work with each other and create a connection. And as a result, this made it possible to transfer large files through the DLNA server to the phone, and most importantly to your smart TV. It was a huge breakthrough in the world of multimedia; our RemoteFork player application quickly took the best positions in installations and downloads for smart TVs and computers, as well as Android tablets.
- Transfer large files from computer to smart TV
- Setting up DNS server bypass
- Installing and configuring plugins
- Listening to music online and offline
- Access to files on your computer and flash drive
- Takes away all the load from your SmartTV (as a result, the TV works more stable!)
- Watch movies in good quality HD and 4K without glitches or delays.
And so it’s time to move on to the most important thing - downloading the latest version of the RemoteFork player application and installing it on your computer and smartphone.
Advantages and disadvantages
The vast majority of Fork Player users leave exclusively positive ratings and reviews on thematic forums. However, the operation of the application is not always without problems. For ease of analysis, the positive and negative aspects of the program are summarized in a single table.
Advantages | Shortcomings |
Many functions in one program. The owner of a SMART TV does not need to constantly switch between applications that perform one or two tasks. | A large number of IPTV channels that are not played due to blocking by content providers. |
Convenient navigation. The TV player interface is simple and clear, the icons are bright, and the inscriptions are clear and legible. | Lack of program in the official LG store. The player can be downloaded from the official website or from third-party sources. |

Black screen when playing all IPTV

Both actions can take a lot of time, so TV viewers need to prepare for the fact that the search for a working IPTV will take a long time.
Why are there so many non-working IPTVs?
Most free channels are illegal, so broadcasts are actively blocked by providers. As a result, the recently working broadcast immediately becomes unavailable for viewing. There is only one solution in the situations described - searching for a working broadcast.

The listed options are equivalent, so you should choose the one that seems more convenient and simpler than the others. If problems occur, you should switch to another method.

First way
Owners of Smart-TV with the latest software versions will have to:

The following approach requires using a computer with an up-to-date version of Java. The PC should be connected to the same network as the TV, after which you will be left with:
This completes the installation via the developer IDE.
Installation from a flash drive
Those who decide to install an application from a flash drive should remember the disadvantages of this method. It lies in the limited functionality of the browser. To remove restrictions, you will need to additionally install Remote Forkplayer on your PC and activate the option of the same name in the browser.
Method No. 1
The first method requires you to download the file to a flash drive in advance to install the widget. If this has already been done, all that remains is:
The last step will be the previously described removal of functionality restrictions.
Method No. 2
The second approach will require similar actions:
Principle of operation
In a nutshell, I’ll tell you about the very principle of watching movies through torrent trackers on your TV. On the TV in the ForkPlayer , you open one of the available torrent trackers, find the desired movie, select a live distribution with the required quality and enjoy watching the movie online, without waiting for the full download.

How to install a program via a USB flash drive on LG Smart TV
You can install and configure Fork Player on lg via a computer using a USB flash drive. In this case, there are also two options for transferring and unpacking the program.
Setting up the utility via a USB flash drive on a TV running WebOS
You can install a widget from a flash drive on WebOS. To do this you will need:
- Download the archive from the developer’s website - https://obovse.ru/forkplayer/lg_forkplayer.rar.
- Unpack it on a flash drive.
- Log in to your account on your TV.
- Connect an external drive to the TV.
- As soon as the TV detects the flash drive, press the button with the image of a house on the remote control. Scroll to the right until the line “Launcher Widget” appears.
- Launch the application.
- Enable the Remote program on your laptop, computer and activate it on your smart TV.
After these steps, access to the functionality of the utility will open, and you will be able to view various programs for free.
Transferring the application via a USB flash drive to a TV from 2010-2013
Equipment produced between 2010 and 13. most often equipped with the NetCast operating system. You can install ForkPlayer on such a platform via a flash drive. To do this you need:
- Download and unpack the archive in the same way as in the previous version.
- Go to the “My Applications” tab in the TV menu section. It is located on the bottom right.
- Find "Applications on USB".
- Launch the application from the drive.
- Install it and install the Remote extension, as in the first installation option.
Advice. If the TV does not immediately recognize or play the flash drive, you need to replace it. Before installing the application, it is better to format the USB drive to clear it of unnecessary information that interferes with loading the utility.
Installing AceStream on PC
AceStream is a new generation media platform that allows you to play online video/audio from any torrent tracker, without the need to download torrents and wait for the content itself to load.
- Download the latest version of the AceStream for Windows the official website
- Let's install it. When installing, leave the “Run with Windows” . We select the disk for the cache that has enough free space (for some 4K movies you need more than 100GB of free space).
- If you have an antivirus, you need to disable the firewall , otherwise the TV will not be able to find AceStream running on the PC.
- Launch the Ace Stream Media Center program.
- Go to the network connection information and remember the IP address of the computer. The computer and TV must be on the same network.
Advantages and disadvantages
PROS:
- High-quality website optimization for your TV model.
- Fast page loading – the optimization process does not affect loading speed in any way.
- You can play both content from websites and your own playlists.
- You can upload playlists directly from the application to the hosting.
- It works without failures even on the most “heavy” sites, overloaded with design and advertising.
- Plays video of any format, as it has all built-in codecs and players.
- High-quality sound reproduction (if any) regardless of its format.
- Distributed free of charge.
- Does not require lengthy false configuration after installation - most settings occur automatically.
- It is easily controlled both with a mouse and with a TV remote control (both push-button and pointing remote).
- Developers regularly add to the list of sites that this browser can successfully work with.
- Regular updates are released for each new version of the TV, so you will certainly find an application option that suits you.
- The browser can be launched from a memory card, that is, it acts as a utility rather than as software.
- Works on various devices equipped with smart TV function.
- You can create lists of bookmarks and favorites.
- There is a built-in application store – Fork Store Play Market.
- Convenient navigation on the VKontakte social network.
CONS:
- Since the content is broadcast directly from the source site, if the video file is unavailable for your region, you will not be able to view it (theoretically, IP settings can be changed, but this is a long and labor-intensive process that allows the site to “see” that your request comes from another country).
- For the same reason, if the Internet speed is not enough for a stable connection, or the load on the site is too high, the video will freeze. The player is able to load it forward, but only to a certain extent. In addition, this method (uploading), as is known, does not work in the case of videos that are broadcast as a stream.
- The player does not edit the video and is not able to improve its quality a little. It will be optimized for TV, and the picture quality may slightly improve or deteriorate because of this, but the file itself will not be affected by the player.
- The player does not solve problems related to sound quality.
- In some cases, Samsung Tizen series TVs have compatibility problems.
- Also, compatibility problems on absolutely any device can sometimes arise after updating other applications.
- A specific and common problem characteristic of Sony and LG devices is the player’s unauthorized automatic change of server addresses, which occurs quite often and sometimes causes the application to malfunction.
Rice. 3 IP settings
Setting up ForkPlayer
1. Open ForkPlayer , go to the application settings.
2. Find the item “Ace Stream direct” and enter in it the IP address of the computer on which we configured AceStream . We set the port to 6878 .
3. Turn off and turn on the TV for the changes to take effect. If everything is done correctly, then when you launch ForkPlayer you should see the AceStream icon to the left of the clock and the AceStream icon on the start menu (as in the photo).
Everything you need to watch movies from torrent sites on Smart TV is done. Now the only question is choosing the tracker from which you will watch the content.

Where and how to watch films?
Personally, I know 3 options for watching movies through torrent trackers. Let's go from simple to complex.
Services from AceStream
Immediately after you specify the IP address of the computer with the AceStream program installed, the AceStream icon will appear on the main screen of ForkPlayer. There are currently 4 resources available in this section:
- Torrent TV (collection of TV channels) Rutor NoNaMe Club RuTracker
Resources that appear after installing AceStream
Each tracker has a search by name. We look for the desired film, select the desired quality and distribution with a large number of distributors and enjoy the work done
