Using the Account Code and IP update URL
We use your IP address to authorise your account. Therefore, if you get a new IP address for some reason, you might run into a brief service disruption. To resolve those issues you can visit our site and click the green Update button, to update your IP address. However, there are also ways to update your IP address automatically.
We have a special URL for all users, that they can use to update their IP address. If you visit that URL, our system will take your current IP address and link it to your account.
That URL is https://playmo.tv/api/update-location?x-api-key=Your_Account_Code
You can get your account code here: https://playmo.tv/my-account/
So for example, if your account code is abc1234, then visiting https://playmo.tv/api/update-location?x-api-key=abc1234 will update your IP address.
