Whether IPTV Smarters Pro is in your Samsung or LG app store depends on your TV's model, year and region — so search the store first. If it's listed, install it and log in with your Xtream details. If it isn't, or it has stopped working, skip the USB files and DNS tricks you'll find online and install an IPTV player that is listed in the official store, such as IBO Player Pro. Here's how to handle each case.

What is IPTV Smarters Pro?
IPTV Smarters Pro is an IPTV player app. It loads the playlist from your provider — Xtream login or M3U link — and shows Live TV, Movies and Series in separate tabs. It contains no channels itself. On a smart TV it's simply a way to watch that playlist without plugging in a stick.
Is IPTV Smarters Pro in the Samsung or LG app store?
It varies. Smart TV app stores change their listings over time and by country, which is why some people find Smarters in seconds and others can't find it at all — and why searches like "Smarters stopped working on my LG" are so common. Check yours:
Samsung (Tizen)
Press Home on the remote and open Apps.
Use the search icon and type IPTV Smarters.
If it appears, choose Install, then Open.
LG (webOS)
Press Home and open the LG Content Store (called Apps on newer models).
Search for IPTV Smarters.
If it appears, choose Install and launch it from the home bar.
Logging in on a smart TV
Choose Login with Xtream Codes API, enter any profile name, then the server URL, username and password from your provider using the on-screen keyboard. If you have an M3U link instead, use the playlist/URL option. Typing a long server address with a remote is slow — a USB or Bluetooth keyboard, if your TV accepts one, saves a lot of time.

Smarters isn't in your store? Don't use USB files or DNS tricks
Search results suggest two workarounds: loading a "widget" file onto a Samsung TV from a USB stick, or changing your TV's DNS so an app connects to a different server. We don't recommend either. Both rely on files or servers from unofficial sources you can't verify, and a DNS change sends all of your TV's lookups through someone else's server. When the workaround breaks — and it often does after a TV update — you're back to square one.
The easier route: an IPTV player from the official store
IBO Player Pro's developer links to its listings in both the Samsung and LG app stores, so on most recent TVs you install it like any other app:
Search IBO Player Pro in your TV's app store and install it.
Open it and note the MAC address and Device Key on screen.
On your phone, log in at iboproapp.com → Manage Playlists with those two values and add your M3U link or Xtream details.
Restart the app and your channels appear — no typing on the TV.

Fixing common smart TV problems
The app is stuck on the start screen
It's loading your whole playlist from the provider's server. Give it 30 seconds; if it never finishes, check your subscription is active and test the TV on a wired connection.
Login fails
Re-type the server URL exactly as your provider wrote it — a missing http:// or an extra space is the usual culprit.
Some channels won't play on the TV but do on a phone
Smart TVs don't support every video format, and Samsung and LG support different ones — that's also why the same app can behave differently on each brand. Try another stream of the same channel, or a different player.
Buffering
Aim for 10 Mbps for HD and 25 Mbps or more for 4K. Many TVs have a weak Wi-Fi chip, so an Ethernet cable makes a bigger difference here than on most devices.
The Bottom Line
Search your TV's store for IPTV Smarters Pro; if it's there, log in with your Xtream details. If it isn't — or keeps breaking — install IBO Player Pro from the Samsung or LG store and add your playlist from your phone. Either way, you can test it with a free 24-hour Watchzio trial — no credit card — and compare the IPTV subscription plans when you're ready.

It depends on your model, year and region. Open Apps on your Samsung TV and search for IPTV Smarters; if it is not listed, a store-listed player such as IBO Player Pro is the simplest alternative.
Is IPTV Smarters Pro available on LG TVs?
Availability in the LG Content Store varies by model and region. Search for it in the store; if it is missing or has stopped working, install IBO Player Pro, which its developer lists in the LG store.
Should I use the DNS method or a USB file to get Smarters on my TV?
We do not recommend it. Both rely on unofficial files or servers you cannot verify, a DNS change routes all your TV lookups through a third party, and these workarounds often stop working after a TV update.
What is the best alternative to IPTV Smarters Pro on a smart TV?
IBO Player Pro is listed in the Samsung and LG app stores and lets you add your playlist from your phone at iboproapp.com, so you never type a server address with the remote.
Why does IPTV Smarters Pro work differently on LG and Samsung?
The two brands run different systems (webOS and Tizen) and support different video formats, so the same app can show different menus or fail on certain streams on one brand but not the other.
Why is IPTV Smarters Pro stuck on the start screen?
The app loads your full playlist from the provider on every start. Wait 30 seconds, check that your subscription is active, and try a wired connection.
