What Is STB Emu Pro?

STB Emu Pro emulates a physical MAG set-top box on your Android phone, Android TV box, or Firestick. Instead of a username/password login like Xtream Codes players, it authenticates using a Portal URL and your device's MAC address — the exact method real MAG boxes use.

It's a great option if you already prefer the classic MAG-style portal experience, or if you're replacing an aging physical MAG box without buying new hardware.

STB Emu Pro + Maple4K Setup Guide

Install STB Emu

Get STB Emu Pro (paid, ad-free) or STB Emu Lite (free) from Google Play, or sideload the APK on Firestick using the Downloader app.

Request a Portal Connection

Tell our support team you want a MAG-style STB Emu connection when subscribing to Maple4K. We'll issue a Portal URL and MAC address.

Enter Portal URL in Settings

Open STB Emu → Settings → enter the Portal URL exactly as sent. Note the MAC address the app displays.

Send Us Your MAC Address

Send the exact MAC address shown in the app to our support team so we can whitelist it on your Maple4K portal — usually done within minutes.

Restart & Load Channels

Close and reopen STB Emu. All 50,000+ Maple4K channels and full EPG load automatically, just like a physical MAG box.

STB Emu Pro Canada — FAQ

What is STB Emu Pro?+

STB Emu Pro is an Android app that emulates a MAG-style IPTV set-top box. Instead of logging in with a username and password like Xtream Codes players, it connects using a Portal URL and a device MAC address — the same method real MAG boxes use.

Is STB Emu Pro free?+

STB Emu Lite is free with ads; STB Emu Pro is a one-time paid purchase (a few dollars) that removes ads and adds extra settings. Either version works with Maple4K's portal connection.

Do I need a specific MAC address for STB Emu?+

Yes — Maple4K issues you a unique MAC address tied to your subscription when you request a portal-style connection. You enter this exact MAC (or we register the one your app already shows) so the portal recognizes your device.

Does STB Emu Pro work on Firestick?+

Yes, via sideloading (it isn't on the official Amazon App Store). We recommend using the Downloader app to install the STB Emu APK on Firestick, then following the same portal + MAC setup.

Should I use STB Emu Pro or IPTV Smarters Pro?+

Use STB Emu Pro if you specifically want a MAG-style portal connection (common with certain resellers and older MAG boxes). For most Canadians, Xtream Codes players like Smarters Pro or TiviMate are simpler to set up and just as reliable with Maple4K.

STB Emu on Fire Stick, Android TV and 4K

STB Emu (also written StbEmu or Stbemu Pro) is an Android app that emulates a MAG-style box, so it uses a portal URL and a MAC address rather than a username and password. On a Fire Stick it is usually installed with the Downloader app; on Android TV it comes from the Play Store where available. 4K playback depends on your device's hardware decoder and the app's player setting — choose the hardware or system player for H.265.

If you find portals fiddly, Xtream Codes players such as TiviMate or XCIPTV are simpler. Compare with real MAG hardware in the MAG models guide.
