Install IPTV on Smart TV

~5–8 min
1

Open your TV's app store

Smart Hub on Samsung, LG Content Store on LG.

2

Install Smart IPTV

Search for it directly, or register your TV's MAC address on the developer's site below first.

3

Add your playlist

Enter your M3U URL or Xtream login, or register it through the app's companion website using your MAC address.

4

Restart the app

Your channel list loads once the playlist is linked.

Tip: older Smart TVs sometimes only support MAC-based activation rather than username/password logins.

1

Enable apps from unknown sources

Go to Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options and turn on Apps from Unknown Sources.

Use Downloader or the App Store to install a player like TiVimate.

4

Enter your M3U URL or Xtream Codes login when the app first opens.

Sideloading an APK?

Downloader uses a short numeric code instead of typing long URLs.
