Smart IPTV

Installation

Smart IPTV is a paid IPTV player primarily designed for Samsung and LG Smart TVs, with support for Android TV, Google TV, and Fire TV devices.
The main advantages of Smart IPTV are stable performance, a simple interface, and convenient remote control navigation.
The player supports: M3U playlists (direct links and files); TV guide (EPG) from built-in and external XMLTV sources; Catch-up TV / archive playback.
Playlist management is performed through the developer's website, allowing you to update playlists easily without configuring the application again.
Activation is available after a one-time payment of €5.49 per TV or device. A 7-day trial period is available. Payment must be made on the official Smart IPTV website.


Samsung Smart TV (Tizen):

  • Open Apps (Smart Hub).
  • Search for Smart IPTV.
  • Install the application.

LG Smart TV (webOS):

  • Open LG Content Store.
  • Search for Smart IPTV.
  • Install the application.

Note: If the application is not available in the store, this may be related to the region settings of your TV. In this case, we recommend using an alternative IPTV player or changing the app store region (if supported by your device).

Android TV / Google TV:

  • Open the Google Play Store on your device.
  • Search for the Smart IPTV application.
  • Install the player.
    If Google Play indicates that the application is not compatible with your device, it means your device is not running Android TV.

 Adding a Playlist

In Smart IPTV, playlists are added through the developer's website using the playlist upload page.
The playlist is linked to the device's MAC address or Device ID, which are displayed when the application starts.

  • Launch Smart IPTV on your TV.
  • On the app's main screen, note the MAC address or Device ID.
  • Most Samsung devices display the MAC address.
  • LG webOS TVs (from app version 3.0.0) display the Device ID. However, TVs that were previously activated using a MAC address can continue using the MAC address when uploading playlists.

Open the Smart IPTV playlist upload page in a browser on any device (PC, smartphone, etc.):

  1. In the MAC/ID field, enter the device MAC address or Device ID.
  2. In the URL field, paste the direct Smart IPTV playlist link.
  3. In EPG Region, select ExUSSR to ensure correct display of Cyrillic characters in the TV guide.
  4. Select Logos.
  5. Use the "Save online" option only if you experience playlist loading issues caused by limited device memory.
  6. Enable "Detect EPG" so the application can automatically detect the EPG source (when using a compatible Smart IPTV playlist).
  7. Disable Groups - when enabled, channels will be displayed as one list without separate categories.
  8. Complete the CAPTCHA verification.
  9. Click "Send".

After the playlist has been successfully uploaded, completely close the Smart IPTV application and launch it again. Within a few seconds, the channel list will load automatically.

Adding a Playlist from a File

Download the playlist file to your PC or smartphone, then open the Smart IPTV playlist upload page:

  1. Click the swap fields icon so that the File field is displayed next to the MAC/ID field.
  2. Click Browse and select the playlist file.
  3. Configure the remaining options the same way as when adding a playlist using a direct link.

Note:

To get the playlist or file, go to the My Devices section and click the corresponding button to the right of the device name:

  • Select your device type.
  • Choose Smart IPTV (Smart IPTV ver.2 is intended for older TV models).
  • Under "Playlist Links", either copy the playlist URL or click "Download Playlist", depending on your preferred method of adding the playlist.

EPG

When using a compatible playlist URL, the TV guide is loaded automatically. After uploading the playlist, restart the Smart IPTV application and wait for the data to finish updating. The initial EPG download may take several minutes.

If the TV guide does not appear:

  • Open the playlist upload page on the Smart IPTV website.
  • Enter your device's MAC address or Device ID.
  • Paste the EPG source link into the "EPG" field.
  • Clear the "Detect EPG" checkbox if it is enabled.
  • Click "Send".
  • Completely close and reopen the Smart IPTV application.

Note:

To get the EPG URL, go to the My Devices section and click the corresponding button to the right of the device name.

On the playlist download page, expand the "TV guide · EPG" section.

Frequently asked questions

MAC address changes after switching the TV's network connection:

  • Every TV has two MAC addresses: one for Wi-Fi and one for Ethernet. When you switch to a different connection type and restart the application, the corresponding MAC address becomes active automatically. The MAC address is unique to each TV and cannot be changed manually.
  • If you activated your subscription using one MAC address, it will not work when using the other network connection until it is activated as well.
  • Starting with version 3.0.0 on LG webOS TVs, the application no longer has access to the MAC address and displays only the Device ID. If your TV was previously activated using its MAC address, it will continue to work automatically after launching the application. You can also continue using the original MAC address when uploading playlists.

The Smart IPTV website or application is inaccessible:

  • Your Internet provider may be blocking access to the Smart IPTV website or application. Try changing the DNS server in your TV or router network settings to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8.

"Server (URL) connection timeout", "Check playlist URL", or "No playlist uploaded":

  • Try uploading the developer's test playlist: http://siptv.app/lists/example.m3u. If it works, check your playlist link for errors.
  • Try uploading the playlist as a file instead of using a direct link.
  • If you see the "Check playlist URL" message, disconnect your TV or device from power for about one minute to clear the cache. Then force a playlist refresh by holding the "0" or "CH" button on the remote, or by pressing and holding the "Reload" button (this disables the application cache).
  • Reduce the playlist size by removing unnecessary channels, especially if you have an LG LM-series TV with limited memory.
  • Try disabling the external EPG or clearing the "Detect EPG" option when uploading the playlist.
  • If the playlist does not appear or disappears after restarting the TV, enable the "Save online" option.
  • Samsung TV users may also benefit from resetting Smart Hub or completely powering off and restarting the TV to clear the cache.

    Note: The amount of storage available for application data on Smart TVs is limited. If the playlist is too large, the application may not be able to save it.

"Stream failed", "Cannot connect", or endless "Buffering..." while the playlist works on other devices:

  • Run the Server Selection tool, switch to the recommended server, wait 10 minutes, and then restart the application.
  • Delete the existing playlist using the "Delete playlist(s)" option on the playlist upload page, then upload it again. Also try both HTTP and HTTPS playlist links.

Which IPTV players do you recommend?

We recommend using the following IPTV players:


Samsung Tizen OS:


LG WebOS:
  • ​Smart IPTV: supports catch-up TV (archive).
  • ​SS IPTV: supports catch-up TV (archive).


Hisense Vidaa:

  • ​SS IPTV: supports catch-up TV (archive).


Android:

  • ​Televizo: supports catch-up TV (archive) and media library.
  • ​OTT Navigator: supports catch-up TV (archive) and media library.
  • ​TiviMate: supports catch-up TV (archive) and media library.


iOS / Apple TV:


Please note that we cannot guarantee the proper operation of the playlist, catch-up TV (archive), and EPG in all IPTV players. Compatibility depends on the specific implementation and capabilities of each application.

We are also unable to influence errors, limitations, or changes in the behavior of third-party IPTV players, as we are neither their developers nor involved in their maintenance or support.

You may use any IPTV player that supports M3U playlists. However, in some cases, you may need to manually configure the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) and catch-up TV (archive) features, provided that the selected player supports them.

Which playlist type should I choose for my player?

Different types of playlist URLs are provided for different devices and apps. Using a playlist that matches your device and player generally allows options such as the EPG and catch-up to be configured automatically.

To get the correct playlist:

1. Go to the My Devices section and click the button to get the playlist.

get_plst.png


2. Select your device type (Android, iOS, Samsung, LG, etc.).

3. Select your player.

4. Under "Playlist Links", copy the playlist link and use it to configure your player.

get_plst2.png


Note: If your player is not listed, try using the standard M3U/M3U8 playlist links or the Kodi link.
Please note that in this case you will most likely need to manually specify the EPG (Electronic Program Guide) source URL in your player's settings.


How do I change the channel list in my playlist?

The Channel Editor allows you to create your own channel lists: disable individual channels or entire groups, change their order, and create custom groups with your favorite channels.


Attention: You need to create your own channel list to make the desired changes. Once you have finished editing, you need to update the playlist in your player’s settings to see the changes.

1. Create your own channel list. If you have created multiple playlists, select the one you want to edit.

editor1.png

2. Custom Groups - click "+ New group", enter any name, then move your favorite channels from other groups into the newly created group.

A custom channel group is useful if you use several different players on different devices and want quick access to your favorite channels. It also makes it easier to set up the player after reinstalling the player or replacing the playlist.

editor2.png

3. Channel Groups — To select a group, click its name.

To hide a group, click the eye icon.

To move a group, simply drag and drop its tile up or down the list, or open the context menu by clicking the three dots on the group tile.

editor3.png


4. Editing Individual Channels - to hide a channel, click the eye icon.

You can reorder channels or move them to other groups by dragging and dropping them, or by using the three-dot menu and selecting the channel checkboxes (useful for moving multiple channels at once).

editor4.png

5. Playlist Management - here you can rename a playlist, reset it to the default settings, delete a custom playlist, and assign a playlist to your devices.

editor5.png

Some channels have no sound or no picture. How can I fix this?

In most cases, the issue is caused by incorrect decoder settings in your player or device.

  • Try selecting a different decoder in your player's settings and then restart the device.
  • Disable any audio enhancement modes (such as Movie, Music, etc.) and restart the device.
  • If you are using a soundbar or home theater system, make sure the appropriate Passthrough mode is configured and enabled correctly. Also, test the playlist playback directly on the TV without the soundbar connected.
  • Make sure you are using the latest software version. If not, update both your IPTV player and your device's operating system.

My internet connection is fast, but IPTV channels are buffering. What should I do?

It is important to understand that internet speed test services measure the speed of your connection to the nearest server of your internet provider.​

When watching IPTV, your device connects to remote servers that may be located in completely different regions. As a result, the connection quality and speed may differ significantly from the results shown by Speedtest and similar services.
What you should do:

1. In the My Devices section, click the "Server" button for your device then select "Pick by speed test". The server selection page will open.

serv1.png

​2. Click the "Start Test" button and wait for the test to finish.

serv2.png

3. Once the test is complete, you'll be prompted to switch to the server that works best with your connection. Save the result, then restart the player after 10 minutes.

Tip
: For the most stable connection, we recommend connecting your device to your router using an Ethernet cable. This can significantly reduce latency, buffering, and connection drops.


What should I do if channels do not start playing?

  • Check your internet connection.
  • Restart your IPTV device and router.
  • Make sure you are using the correct playlist type for your device and player.
  • Try changing the server by running the server selection test, then restart your player after 10 minutes.
  • Make sure your subscription has not expired.
  • In some cases, removing and re-adding the playlist in your player may help.

If the issue persists, please contact technical support through your account. We will do our best to help.


How many devices can be connected under a single subscription?

A single subscription allows up to two devices to be connected simultaneously.

If a third device attempts to connect, streaming will be automatically blocked on all devices.
The block is removed automatically. Please make sure that your playlist link is being used on no more than two devices at the same time, then restart your IPTV player 15 minutes after the block was triggered.


Can I watch the playlist on more than two devices simultaneously?

Yes. To do so, add the required number of devices in the My Devices section and purchase a subscription for each of them.

Please note that each subscription has its own playlist link, allowing you to select different servers and channel lists independently for each subscription.
This is especially convenient if your family members or friends use the service from different cities or countries.


Can I watch the playlist from a different location, city, or country?

Yes, our service works worldwide. The main requirement is a stable internet connection to our servers.

If you travel frequently, we recommend running the server selection test each time you change your location or internet provider. This will help ensure the best possible streaming experience.


Streaming has been blocked due to exceeding the simultaneous connection limit. What should I do?

Make sure that your playlist link is not being used on more than two devices at the same time.​

Restart your IPTV player 15 minutes after the block occurred.

In some cases, exceeding the connection limit may be caused by:

  • An internal IPTV player error that generates duplicate requests.
  • Launching multiple players one after another without properly closing the previous one.
  • Brief internet interruptions or packet loss without a full connection drop.
  • Short power outages.


Recommendations for resolving the issue:

  • When switching to another player, make sure to fully close the previous one, including any background processes. For example, on Android devices, terminate the previous player's background processes before opening another player.
  • Restart your IPTV device and router by disconnecting them from power for a few minutes.
  • If restarting the equipment does not solve the issue, try reinstalling the IPTV player and configuring it again.


If streaming blocks occur regularly, it is possible that your playlist link has been shared with a third party. To resolve this, update your OTT ID:

1. In the My Devices section, click the button to get the playlist.

get_plst.png

​2. Click the "OTT ID" button and generate a new OTT ID.​

3. After updating it, replace the playlist link in your player's settings with the new one.
