Before you start
- A Samsung smart TV running Tizen, connected to Wi-Fi or Ethernet
- A Samsung account signed in on the TV
- Your playlist URL or Xtream Codes username, password, and server URL
Steps
Open Smart Hub
Press the Home button to open Smart Hub, Samsung's app and content launcher.
Go to the Samsung Apps store
From Smart Hub, navigate to Apps to open the Samsung Apps store.
Search for a player app
Search for "IPTV Smarters" or "GSE SMART IPTV" and select the official listing.
Install and open the app
Select Install, wait for it to finish, then open it from your apps row.
Enter your playlist or Xtream Codes details
In the app, enter your M3U playlist URL or Xtream Codes username, password, and server URL.
Confirm channels load
Check your channel list and EPG populate correctly.
Troubleshooting
The app store doesn't list any IPTV apps
App availability varies by Tizen version and region. Check Settings → Support → About This TV for your software version; on older TVs, a Fire TV Stick or Chromecast connected via HDMI sidesteps the limitation entirely.
The Samsung remote's on-screen keyboard is awkward for long URLs
The SmartThings app on your phone can serve as a remote keyboard for Samsung TVs, which speeds up entering a long Xtream Codes server URL considerably.
