Adult VOD on IPTV: How the Category Is Organised and Controlled

Question	Quick Answer
What is the adult VOD category?	An optional, age-restricted group inside the on-demand library, kept separate from the main film, series and live-TV sections.
Is it included in every plan?	It sits in the same VOD library as the rest of the catalogue, in its own group rather than as a paid add-on.
Can it be hidden?	Yes. Every mainstream IPTV player can hide or PIN-lock a group so it never appears in the guide.
Is it suitable for a family device?	Hide the group and set a parental PIN before handing a device to children — a two-minute job covered below.
Where do I manage this?	In your player's group or parental-control settings, not on the provider's side.

How the On-Demand Library Is Organised

The Necro IPTV on-demand library holds more than 60,000 titles, and that catalogue is not presented as one undifferentiated list. It is split into groups — recent releases, genres, series, regional collections — and adult content sits in its own age-restricted group, separated from everything a family would browse.

That separation is the practical point of this guide. Whether you want the category available or want it gone from the interface entirely, both are settings you control on your own device, and both take about two minutes.

Why Providers Keep It in a Separate Group

Grouping matters more than it sounds. A large catalogue with no structure is unusable, and mixing age-restricted material into general browsing is the fastest way to make a service unsuitable for a shared living-room TV. Keeping the category isolated means:

• General browsing stays family-safe by default when the group is hidden.
• Parental controls can be applied to a single group instead of the whole library.
• Search and recommendations in the main catalogue stay uncluttered.
• Each household decides for itself rather than the provider deciding for everyone.

Hiding or Locking the Category

This is handled in your player, not on the account. The steps are almost identical across the common apps:

TiviMate

1. Open Settings → Playlists → your playlist → Groups.
2. Untick the adult group to remove it from the guide entirely.
3. Alternatively use Settings → Parental controls to set a PIN and lock the group instead of hiding it.

IPTV Smarters / Smarters Pro

1. Open Settings → Parental Control and set a PIN.
2. Select the categories to lock — the adult group will be listed there.
3. Locked groups then require the PIN before they will open.

Smart IPTV and IBO Player

1. Open the app's settings and find Parental / Lock categories.
2. Set a PIN and apply it to the group.
3. Reload the playlist so the change takes effect.

Set the PIN to something a child cannot guess — not the household Wi-Fi code or a birthday. If the group needs to disappear completely rather than be locked, unticking it at playlist level is the cleaner option, because a hidden group does not appear in search results either.

Setting Up a Family-Safe Device

If a Firestick or tablet is going to be used by children, do these four things before handing it over:

1. Hide the adult group at playlist level in the player.
2. Set a parental PIN so the setting cannot be reversed casually.
3. Build a favourites list of the kids' channels so browsing rarely leaves that list.
4. Lock the app's settings screen where the player supports it, so the group cannot simply be re-enabled.

Because a single subscription can serve several screens, it is entirely normal to configure one device as family-safe and leave another unrestricted. The multi-device plans page explains how concurrent streams work across a household.

Quality, Playback and Bandwidth

On-demand titles stream from the same infrastructure as the rest of the library, so the same rules apply: roughly 15 Mbps for reliable HD, 25 Mbps or more for 4K, and a wired connection to the main TV wherever possible. On-demand playback is generally more forgiving than live TV because the player can buffer ahead, which is why VOD often looks smooth on a connection that struggles during a live match.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the adult category an extra charge?

No. It is part of the same on-demand library as the rest of the catalogue, simply held in a separate group.

Can I remove it permanently?

You can untick the group at playlist level, which removes it from the guide and from search. Re-enabling it is the same setting in reverse.

Will hiding the group affect anything else?

No. Live channels, films, series and catch-up all behave exactly as before.

What if my player has no parental controls?

Switch to one that does — TiviMate and IPTV Smarters both support PIN locking and group hiding, and both work with the same credentials.

Who do I ask for help?

Support is available 24/7 through the help centre and can walk you through the settings for your specific app.

The Bottom Line

The adult VOD group exists as one clearly separated category inside a much larger on-demand library, and the household — not the provider — decides whether it is visible. Two minutes in your player's settings makes a device family-safe or restores the full catalogue, and nothing else about the service changes either way. The rest of the lineup is on the channel guide, and plans start at $12.99/month on the pricing page.
