IPTV Smarters Pro is a free IPTV player that runs on phones, tablets and many TV devices. It shows live channels, a TV guide, movies and series in four large tiles, which makes it a good choice if you want the same app on your phone and your TV. Like every player, it contains no channels of its own: you sign in with the details from your trial or plan. This guide covers where to get the app, how to log in, how to load the guide and how to fix the usual errors.
Where IPTV Smarters Pro is available
- iPhone, iPad and Apple TV: in the App Store.
- Android phones, tablets and Android TV boxes: in the Google Play Store on most devices.
- Fire TV, Samsung and LG smart TVs: availability in each store changes over time. Search the store on your TV first. If it is not listed, use the player recommended in our Fire TV, Samsung or LG guide instead.
Install the app only from the official store on your device, and check the developer name on the listing. Apps with similar names and icons exist; some show ads or ask for payment details you do not need to give.
Install the app
- Open the App Store or Google Play on your device.
- Search for IPTV Smarters Pro.
- Check the developer, then install and open the app.
- Accept the terms of the app if you agree with them. Choose the device type it asks for: mobile or TV.
Log in with your details
On the first screen, IPTV Smarters Pro offers several ways to add a user. Pick the one that matches the details we sent.
Login with Xtream Codes API (recommended)
- Select Login with Xtream Codes API.
- Any name: type a name for this profile, for example “Living room”.
- Username and password: type them exactly as sent. Both are case-sensitive.
- URL: type the server address including
http://and the port number, for examplehttp://server.example:8080. - Select Add user, then open the new profile.
Load your playlist (M3U URL)
- Select Load your playlist or file/URL.
- Choose M3U URL, type the link we sent and give the playlist a name.
- Select Add user. The guide may need the separate EPG link, which you add in the app’s settings.
Typing the details avoids the most common problem: a pasted link with an invisible space at the end. If the app says the login is wrong, re-type every field before contacting us.
Find your way around the home screen
After logging in, the app downloads the channel list, the guide and the on-demand catalog. Keep it open until the progress bar finishes. The home screen then shows four main tiles:
- Live TV: channel groups on the left, channels in the middle and a preview with now and next on the right.
- Movies: on-demand films sorted by category, with search.
- Series: shows by season and episode, with a resume point.
- Catch up or recordings: where your service supports it, earlier programs from the guide.
Use the search icon to find a channel by name or number, and the heart icon to add channels to Favorites.
Load and fix the TV guide
With an Xtream Codes login, the guide usually loads by itself. If the guide is empty or shows “No program found”, open the settings, choose the option to install or refresh the EPG, wait for it to finish, then reopen Live TV. If the listings are off by a few hours, change the time zone in the app settings to your local US time zone.
Settings worth changing
- Player selection: if a channel stutters, switch between the built-in player options in Settings, then Player selection, and test again.
- Stream format: try HLS or MPEG-TS if one format buffers more than the other on your connection.
- Parental control: set a PIN and lock categories children should not open.
- Automatic start: on TV boxes, set the app to open the last channel on start-up so the TV behaves like cable.
- Cellular data: on phones, turn off streaming over mobile data if your plan has a cap.
Watch on the big screen
On an Apple TV or Android TV box, install the app directly on the TV device and log in there. On a phone, you can send the picture to the TV with AirPlay or Chromecast if the TV supports it, but casting keeps using the phone and can drop if the phone sleeps. A player installed on the TV itself is more stable. For an Apple TV, follow our Apple TV guide; for phones, the iPhone and iPad guide.
One login on several devices
IPTV Smarters Pro lets you add the same login on your phone, your tablet and your TV. How many can play at once depends on your plan: a one-screen plan plays on one device at a time. For two people watching at the same time, pick a two-screen plan on the plans page.
Several profiles in one app
IPTV Smarters Pro can hold more than one user. That is useful if you test a trial first and later receive the login for your paid plan: add the plan as a new user, check that it works, then delete the trial profile so you do not open the wrong one. Each profile keeps its own favorites and recently watched list.
Keep the app running smoothly
- Update the app from the App Store or Google Play when an update appears.
- Refresh channels and the guide from the settings after we tell you about a change to your service.
- Restart your TV device once a week. A fresh start helps streaming boxes keep live TV smooth.
- Keep free storage on phones and boxes. A nearly full device slows down the movie and series catalog.
IPTV Smarters Pro or another player?
Smarters is a good all-round choice when you want the same app on a phone, a tablet and an Apple TV. On Android TV, Google TV and Fire TV devices, TiviMate feels more like a cable box, with a full-screen guide. On Samsung and LG TVs, the right player depends on what each TV’s store offers; our setup guides list the options for each device. Whatever you choose, test it during your free trial before you pay for a plan.
Fixing common IPTV Smarters Pro problems
“Invalid credentials” or “Your account is not found”
Re-type the username, password and URL. Check that the URL includes http:// and the port, and that there is no space at the end.
Live TV loads, but channels stay black
Change the player in Settings, then try a second channel. If only one channel fails, send us its name and the local time so we can check it.
The app is stuck on “Downloading live channels”
Close the app completely, reopen it and let the download finish without switching apps. On a TV box, restart the device first.
Ads or requests for payment
The free app may show its own messages from the developer. They are not from us, and you never need to pay inside the app to watch your plan.
IPTV Smarters Pro questions
Is IPTV Smarters Pro free?
The app is free to download. It is only a player: your channels come from your IPTV plan or trial.
Is IPTV Smarters Pro on the Fire TV Stick?
Availability in the Amazon Appstore changes. Search for it on your Fire TV; if it is not listed, use the player in our Fire TV guide.
Xtream Codes or M3U in IPTV Smarters?
Xtream Codes when you have it. It loads the guide and the movie catalog automatically.
Can I use one login on my phone and TV?
Yes. Only as many devices as your plan’s screens can play at the same time.
