Android / iOS IPTV setup
Setup is quickest on Android phones/tablets and iPhone/iPad: you download an IPTV player from the store, enter your details and start watching.
- 3-5 min
- 8 steps
- WhatsApp support
ABefore you start
- A device with Android 7 or later, or iOS 13 or later (some players may not work on older versions).
- A Google Play Store or Apple App Store account.
- An active IPTV subscription and the login details sent to you (M3U link or Xtream details: server address, username, password).
- A stable internet connection: at least 10 Mbps for SD, 15-20 Mbps for HD/FHD, 4 Mbps or more for 30K is recommended.
- If possible, connect the device with a network cable instead of Wi-Fi; this reduces stuttering, especially during live sports broadcasts.
BStep-by-step setup
You can open and close the steps by clicking on them.
1Open the store
Open Google Play on Android, or the App Store on iPhone/iPad.
2Search for a player
Search for an app that supports M3U/Xtream, such as "IPTV Smarters", "GSE Smart IPTV", "TiviMate" (Android) or "IPTV Smarters", "GSE Smart IPTV" (iOS).
3Download and open
Install the app; if it asks for notification and storage permissions, approve them.
4Choose the login type
Select the "Xtream Codes API" or "M3U URL" option; which one you use depends on the details sent to you.
5Enter the details
Enter the server/URL, username and password. If you are copying and pasting, make sure there are no spaces at the start or end.
6Sign in and load the list
After signing in, the list of channels, films and series is downloaded; this may take a few minutes.
7Open a channel
Choose a category and start the channel; turn the phone sideways for full screen.
8Try screen casting (optional)
If you want to watch on a television, you can use Chromecast/AirPlay with the player's cast icon.
CTips
Remember that watching on mobile data will use up your allowance; prefer Wi-Fi at home.
Battery saver mode can cut background playback; turn it off while watching.
The same subscription may not work on several devices at the same time; pay attention to the number of devices in your package.
Update the player regularly; new versions fix bugs.
DTroubleshooting
The app does not load the list.
Enter the details again and check your internet; close and reopen the app and refresh the list.
I can't find an app on iPhone.
There are a few players in the App Store that support M3U/Xtream; choose one with a high rating in the search results. If you can't find one, write to us on WhatsApp.
Channels keep freezing.
Check the Wi-Fi signal and move closer to the modem; if that doesn't work, increase the buffer time in the player settings.
There is picture but no sound.
Make sure the device is not in silent mode; change the audio track/language setting in the player.
How do I move it to another phone?
It is enough to follow the same steps on the new device and enter the same details.
EAfter setup
- Open a few channels and check the picture and sound.
- Star your favourite channels in the player to make a short list.
- Note down the details in a safe place; do not share your subscription with others.
