How To Set Up IPTV Smarters Pro

Before you start

• Your Xtream Codes credentials — server URL, username and password
• A device running Android, Fire OS, iOS, Windows or macOS
• At least 10 Mbps for HD, 25 Mbps for 4K

7 Steps To A Working Channel List

1. Install the app

   On Android, iOS, Windows and Mac, install IPTV Smarters Pro from the Play Store, App Store or the developer site. On a Firestick it is not in the Amazon store, so you will sideload it in the next step instead.

2. Sideload on Firestick

   Open Settings, then My Fire TV, then Developer Options, and enable Apps from Unknown Sources. Install the Downloader app from the Amazon store, open it, and enter the IPTV Smarters download URL. This step is what catches most people out the first time.

3. Open and accept the terms

   Launch IPTV Smarters Pro and accept the terms of use. The app opens on a login screen offering several methods — do not choose the file or single-stream options.

4. Choose Login with Xtream Codes API

   This is the option you want. It pulls the channel list, the programme guide and the on-demand library together, whereas an M3U URL loads channels only and often no EPG.

5. Enter your credentials

   Type any name you like in the first field, then your username, password and the server URL exactly as we sent them. Case matters. A single mistyped character is the most common cause of a first login failing.

6. Wait for the playlist to load

   The app downloads the full channel list and guide data. On a first load this takes thirty seconds to two minutes. Do not close the app while it works.

7. Tune the playback settings

   Open Settings, then Player Settings. Set the buffer to two to four seconds and make sure hardware decoding is enabled. These two changes prevent most buffering complaints before they happen.
