Quick answer
To watch XCodes IPTV on a Samsung or LG Smart TV, install a compatible player from the TV's app store — such as IBO Player or SmartOne IPTV — note the device ID or MAC address it displays, and add your XCodes IPTV playlist on the app's official website. Restart the app and your channels, movies and series will load.

How Smart TV IPTV apps work
Smart TV players are different from Android apps. Instead of typing a long URL with a TV remote, most show a device ID or MAC address on screen. You enter that ID on the app's official website together with your XCodes IPTV playlist, and the TV downloads it automatically. Some of these apps are paid products from independent developers, who may charge an activation fee after a free period — that fee is separate from your XCodes IPTV plan.
Samsung Smart TV setup
Step 1: Open the app store
Press Home on the remote, open Apps, and search for your chosen player, for example IBO Player.
Step 2: Install and open the app
The first screen shows a device ID (or MAC address) and sometimes a device key. Write them down.
Step 3: Add your playlist online
On a phone or computer, open the app developer's official website, enter the device ID/key and your XCodes IPTV M3U link or Xtream details.
Step 4: Reload the app
Restart the app on the TV. Your channels and on-demand content will appear.
LG Smart TV setup
Step 1: Open the LG Content Store
Press Home, open the Apps / LG Content Store and search for your player.
Step 2: Install and note the device ID
Open the app and note the device ID or MAC address shown on screen.
Step 3: Upload your playlist
Visit the app's official website and add your XCodes IPTV playlist to that device ID.
Step 4: Restart and watch
Close and reopen the app to load your content and program guide.
Which Smart TV app should you use?
| App | Samsung | LG | Playlist method |
|---|---|---|---|
| IBO Player | Samsung: Yes | LG: Yes | Playlist method: Device ID + key on website |
| SmartOne IPTV | Samsung: Yes | LG: Yes | Playlist method: MAC address + M3U on website |
| IPTV Smarters | Samsung: Varies by model | LG: Varies by model | Playlist method: Xtream Codes login in app |
App availability depends on your TV's model year and region. If a player isn't in your TV store, an Amazon Fire TV Stick or Android TV box connected by HDMI is a reliable alternative — see the Firestick guide.
Smart TV troubleshooting
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Playlist not loading | Check the device ID was typed correctly on the website, then restart the app |
| App not in TV store | Your model may not support it — use a Firestick or Android box |
| Guide missing | Add the EPG URL on the app website or use Xtream login where supported |
| Stuttering playback | Use an Ethernet cable; many TVs have slow built-in Wi-Fi |
