Quick answer
On a Samsung or LG Smart TV, install an IPTV player such as IBO Player, Hot IPTV or IPTV Smarters from the TV's app store. Smarters takes your Xtream login directly; MAC-based apps show a MAC address that you link to your playlist on the app's website.

IPTV Smarters Pro
If your TV store has it, it is the easiest: type your Xtream Codes details directly on the TV.
IBO Player
Available on most Samsung and LG TVs. Activated by MAC address; playlist added on its website.
Option 1: log in directly (IPTV Smarters)
Open IPTV Smarters Pro, choose Login with Xtream Codes API and enter any name, your username, password and server URL.
Option 2: MAC address apps (IBO, Hot IPTV and others)
Install the app from your TV's store
Samsung: Apps on the home bar. LG: LG Content Store. Search for the player (for example IBO Player or Hot IPTV) and install it.
Open it and note the MAC address and device key
The app shows a MAC address (like
00:1A:79:xx:xx:xx) and sometimes a device key. Take a photo of the screen.
Upload your playlist on the app's website
On a phone or computer, open the player's official website, go to its playlist upload page, enter the MAC (and key), and paste your M3U link. Or send us the MAC on WhatsApp and we add it for you.
Restart the app
Close the app completely and open it again. The playlist loads with live TV, movies and series.
Let us add it
Always upload playlists on the app developer's official website. We can do it for you: send us the MAC and device key.
Smart TV troubleshooting
- Channels do not load: close the app fully (hold the Back/Exit button), then reopen. Check the playlist URL on the website.
- "Authorization failed" or "playlist invalid": the URL was pasted wrongly or the line expired — see login fixes.
- Buffering: TVs often have weak Wi-Fi; a cable to the router helps a lot.
- App disappeared after a TV update: reinstall it; the MAC-linked playlist remains.
Frequently asked questions
Does IPTV work on a Samsung Smart TV?
Yes. Samsung TVs run Tizen; install an IPTV player from the Samsung Apps store, such as IBO Player, Hot IPTV or Smart IPTV, then add your playlist.
What is the best IPTV app for LG TV?
On LG webOS, IBO Player and Hot IPTV are reliable choices; IPTV Smarters is available on some models and regions. Availability changes, so check the LG Content Store.
Why do Smart TV IPTV apps charge a fee?
Most Tizen and webOS players are free for a trial week, then ask for a one-time activation fee per TV. That is the app fee — separate from your IPTV subscription.
My TV is old and has no IPTV app. What now?
Plug in a Firestick, Chromecast with Google TV or Android box. It is cheaper than a new TV and usually faster. See best streaming devices.
