Introduction

Setting up Smarters Player on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV is quick and easy. Whether you have an Xtream Codes login or an M3U playlist URL, this guide will walk you through every step to get streaming in under 5 minutes.

Smarters Player is the modern IPTV player designed specifically for iOS devices, offering a clean interface, fast loading times, and support for all major playlist formats.

Step 1: Download Smarters Player from the App Store

First, you need to download the app:

  • Open the App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV
  • Search for "Smarters Player"
  • Tap Get to download and install
  • Once installed, open the app
  • Direct Download: Get Smarters Player on the App Store

    Step 2: Choose Your Login Method

    When you open Smarters Player, you'll see two options for adding your playlist:

    Option A: Xtream Codes Login (Recommended)

    This is the easier and faster method. You'll need:

    • Server URL (e.g., http://yourprovider.com:8080)
    • Username (provided by your IPTV service)
    • Password (provided by your IPTV service)
    To add your playlist:
  • Select "Xtream Codes API"
  • Enter your Server URL, Username, and Password
  • Give your playlist a name (e.g., "My IPTV")
  • Tap Add and wait for channels to load
  • Option B: M3U URL

    If your provider gave you a long URL ending in .m3u or .m3u8:

  • Select "M3U URL"
  • Paste your full M3U link
  • (Optional) Add an EPG URL for program guide
  • Tap Add
  • Step 3: Finding Your Credentials

    Your IPTV provider should have sent you login details via email. Look for:

    • A welcome email with "IPTV" or "credentials"
    • A customer portal where you can view your subscription
    • Documentation or setup guides from your provider
    Tip: If you can't find your credentials, contact your IPTV provider's support team.

    Step 4: Start Watching

    Once your playlist loads, you'll see:

    • Live TV - All your live channels organized by category
    • Movies - Your VOD movie library (if included)
    • Series - TV shows organized by season and episode
    • EPG - Electronic Program Guide showing what's on
    Simply tap any channel to start streaming!

    Tips for the Best Experience

    On iPhone & iPad

    • Use WiFi for stable streaming
    • Enable Auto-Lock: Never in Settings during long viewing
    • Use AirPlay to cast to your TV
