What you need:
- An Android phone, tablet, Android TV or Android box
- Your Xtream Codes login or M3U link
- Google Play access
Step-by-step setup
- Open Google Play and search for IPTV Smarters Pro (or another IPTV player you prefer).
- Install and open the app, then allow the requested permissions.
- Choose Login with Xtream Codes API (recommended) or Load your playlist for an M3U link.
- Enter your username, password and server URL exactly as provided, with no extra spaces.
- Tap Add user, then open the profile once loading finishes.
- Test Live TV, the TV guide, a film and a series episode.
- On phones, cast to a TV with Chromecast if the app supports it.
Xtream Codes or M3U?
Use Xtream Codes (server URL, username and password) whenever your app supports it: the TV guide, films and series load automatically. Use the M3U link only for basic players. Read M3U vs Xtream Codes for the full explanation.
Tips for smooth playback
- On Android boxes, keep the firmware updated and leave free storage.
- Turn off battery optimisation for the app on phones to stop streams pausing.
- If an M3U playlist has no guide, ask support for the EPG link.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use the same subscription on my phone and TV?
Yes, within your plan's screen limit. A one-screen plan works on one device at a time.
Which is better on Android, Xtream or M3U?
Xtream Codes, because the TV guide, films and series load automatically and faster.
