IPTV LG: Complete webOS Setup Guide for Your Smart TV

Table of Contents
Introduction — What is IPTV LG on webOS?
IPTV LG refers to running an Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) service on LG Smart TVs that use webOS. Unlike Android or Fire TV platforms, LG’s webOS relies on apps available in the LG Content Store to play IPTV channel lists (typically delivered as an M3U link). This guide walks you through the most reliable methods—Hot Player, Smart IPTV, and Flix IPTV—so you can quickly load your subscription and start watching.
Before You Begin: Locate Your M3U Link
To follow this guide you need your unique M3U link. This link is provided in the welcome email you received after your IPTV purchase and looks like a long URL, for example:
http://line.example.com/get.php?username=XXXX&password=YYYY&type=m3u_plus&output=ts
Keep that full URL ready — you will paste it into the app upload page during setup. If you can’t find it, check your welcome email or visit the User Guide and FAQ pages, or Contact Us for assistance.
Hot Player: Recommended Method for IPTV LG (webOS)
Why choose Hot Player for IPTV LG? Hot Player is simple, fast, and widely supported across webOS devices—making it a top pick for stable playback. Follow the steps below to install and upload your M3U playlist.
Step 1 — Install Hot Player
Open the LG Content Store on your TV, search for Hot Player and install it. If your TV store does not show the app, you may need to check regional availability or use an alternative method below.
Step 2 — Find Your TV MAC Address
Launch the Hot Player app. On its main screen you will see a unique MAC address (format: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX). Write it down exactly as shown — you will need it when uploading your playlist online.
Step 3 — Upload Your Playlist
On a computer or mobile browser go to https://hotplayer.app/upload. Fill the fields like this:
MAC: paste the TV MAC address
Link: paste your full M3U URL from the welcome email
Name: enter any name (for example: “NordicIPTV.tv”)
Click Save. The playlist is now assigned to your TV MAC address.
Step 4 — Restart and Watch
Return to the Hot Player app on your LG TV and click Refresh. The app should display a “Loading playlist…” message followed by channel categories and streams. If the list fails to load, confirm the M3U link was copied fully and that the MAC address is correct.
Smart IPTV (SIPTV) Method for IPTV LG
Smart IPTV (commonly called SIPTV) is another popular option for IPTV LG. It is stable and widely used but requires a one-time activation fee after a free trial.
App Cost and Activation
SIPTV provides a free trial on installation; to permanently activate the app for a particular TV you pay a small one-time fee on the developer’s website. This activation is separate from your IPTV subscription.
Step-by-step Upload for Smart IPTV
- Open the LG Content Store, search for Smart IPTV, install and launch the app.
- When the app opens, write down the TV MAC address displayed (format:
aa:bb:cc:11:22:33). - On a computer or phone visit https://siptv.app/mylist/.
- Under “Upload playlist File or URL” enter your TV MAC and paste the full M3U link in the URL field, then click Send.
- Restart Smart IPTV on your TV; your channels should load.
Flix IPTV Method for IPTV LG
Flix IPTV offers a modern UI and useful features for IPTV LG users. Setup requires both a MAC address and a device key.
How to Get Your Device Key and MAC
Install Flix IPTV from the LG Content Store and open the Settings > User Account section. There you will find the MAC Address and Device Key. Record both values.
Uploading Your M3U to Flix IPTV
On your computer or phone go to https://flixiptv.eu/mylist. Enter the MAC address and Device Key, paste your M3U link into the URL field and submit. Restart the Flix IPTV app on the TV to begin loading channels.

Common Troubleshooting for IPTV LG on webOS
“No playlist uploaded” or “Check playlist URL”: Re-copy the full M3U link; missing a single character will break the list.
App shows “Loading playlist…” forever: Verify MAC address and that you used the correct upload page for the app.
Buffering or freezing: Prefer a wired Ethernet connection. If on Wi-Fi, improve signal or move the router closer.
App not in LG Content Store: Check regional availability or try an alternate app listed above.
