How to use LoopStream
LoopStream connects a viewer (like your Apple TV) to a host — a device such as your Mac or phone running LoopStream that shares a folder of media. Once connected, you browse the host's shared library and play any item right on your TV.
- Open LoopStream on the device that holds your media (Mac or phone) and choose a folder to share.
- Open LoopStream on your Apple TV.
- Pick your host from the list on your Wi-Fi — or connect with your phone, or enter the address manually.
- Browse the shared folder and select a photo or video to play.
Connect your Apple TV with your phone
- On Apple TV, open LoopStream and choose “Connect with your phone”.
- A pairing code (QR) appears on the TV screen.
- Open the LoopStream app on your phone and scan the code.
- The TV connects automatically and your shared library appears.
Enter a host address manually
If you already know the host's address, choose Enter address manually on Apple TV and type it in.
- On the same Wi-Fi, use the host's local address and port, e.g.
192.168.1.50:7391. - From outside your network, paste a remote link, e.g.
https://share.loopara.app/your-host. - Then select Connect. The shared library opens once the host responds.
Troubleshooting
No hosts found on Wi-Fi
- Make sure the host device (Mac or phone) is on and has LoopStream open with a folder shared.
- Make sure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network — the same router and the same band/guest settings.
- Some networks block local discovery. If reviewing or connecting from outside the local Wi-Fi, use a remote link instead.
- Double-check the host address and port if you entered them manually (default port is 7391).
Playback won't start
- Confirm the host is still running and the file still exists in the shared folder.
- Try another item to rule out a single unsupported file.
- Restart the LoopStream app on both the host and the Apple TV.
Privacy
- No account is required to use LoopStream.
- No tracking — we don’t profile you or sell your data.
- Your media connection is controlled entirely by you: you choose what to share, with which device, and you can stop at any time. Media streams between your own devices.
