What is an IPTV Smart Player?
An IPTV player is an app that reads your IPTV login (M3U URL, Xtream Codes, or Portal/MAC) and displays channels, VOD, and EPG. The player is not the provider—it’s just the interface. With FLIXUS, you can use any compatible player you like.

- Install your chosen player (TiviMate / Smarters / XCIPTV).
- Open the app → choose Login with M3U or Xtream Codes.
- Paste your M3U URL or enter Server, Username, Password.
- Wait for channels/VOD to load → organize groups to your taste.
- Enjoy streaming. For best results, use 5GHz Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
Setup: Smart TV (Samsung/LG)
On many Smart TVs, Smart IPTV (SIPTV) or a webOS/Tizen player works well:
- Install the player from your TV’s app store (or sideload if needed).
- Note your TV’s MAC address (shown in the app).
- Upload your M3U/portal on the player’s portal page (per app instructions).
- Restart the app → your channels appear.
If your TV store no longer lists the app, use a Firestick or Android TV box for the best, future-proof experience.
iPhone & iPad (iOS)
- Install an IPTV player from the App Store (e.g., IPTV Smarters for iOS).
- Use your M3U or Xtream Codes details from FLIXUS.
- For AirPlay, ensure the same Wi-Fi network and stable bandwidth.
Troubleshooting & Tips
- No EPG? In the player settings, toggle EPG source or reload EPG.
- Buffering? Use 5GHz Wi-Fi/Ethernet, close background apps, or try another player.
- Wrong list? Double-check your M3U/portal URL and username/password.
- Device limit? Ask us for best practices for multi-device usage.
