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.
Before 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.
Step-by-step setup
- 1
Open the store
Open Google Play on Android, or the App Store on iPhone/iPad.
- 2
Search 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).
- 3
Download and open
Install the app; if it asks for notification and storage permissions, approve them.
- 4
Choose the login type
Select the "Xtream Codes API" or "M3U URL" option; which one you use depends on the details sent to you.
- 5
Enter 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.
- 6
Sign in and load the list
After signing in, the list of channels, films and series is downloaded; this may take a few minutes.
- 7
Open a channel
Choose a category and start the channel; turn the phone sideways for full screen.
- 8
Try screen casting (optional)
If you want to watch on a television, you can use Chromecast/AirPlay with the player's cast icon.
Tips
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.
Troubleshooting
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.
After 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.
