Quick overview: Methods to run IPTV on Samsung

This guide walks you through the easiest and most stable ways to run IPTV on your Samsung Smart TV. We recommend starting with the Hot Player method for most models because it’s simple and works on many TVs, including those that may not have native IPTV player apps. If Hot Player isn’t available or you prefer a direct login experience, use IPTV Smarters or SmartOne IPTV. Full documentation is available in our User Guide and common questions are answered in our FAQ.

IPTV Samsung: Hot Player Installation (Recommended)

The Hot Player method is reliable and easy. Follow these steps to get your channels working quickly.

Step 1 — Install the Hot Player app

Open the Samsung App Store on your TV and search for “Hot Player.” Install the app. If your TV doesn’t show it, try installing on a mobile device or using an alternative method described later.

Step 2 — Find your TV MAC address

Launch Hot Player. On the app home screen you’ll see a unique MAC address in the format XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX. Copy or write this down — you’ll need it to upload your playlist.

Step 3 — Upload your M3U playlist

On a computer or phone open a browser and go to the Hot Player upload page at https://hotplayer.app/upload. In the form paste the MAC address in the MAC field, paste your M3U link (the playlist URL you received after purchase) in the Link field, give the playlist a name like “NordicIPTV.tv” and click Save.

Step 4 — Refresh and start watching

Return to the Hot Player app on your Samsung TV, click Refresh, and the channel list should populate. If channels don’t appear immediately, wait a minute and try the refresh again.

IPTV Samsung: Install IPTV Smarters Player (Method B)

IPTV Smarters Player can give you a full experience (TV, Live, VOD, EPG) if it’s available for your Samsung model. Note that some Samsung models do not list this app in the store.

Step 1 — Install IPTV Smarters Player

Press the Smart Hub button, open Apps, use the search icon and look for “IPTV Smarters Player”. If it appears, install it. If not, skip to the SmartOne method or check alternate download links below (Windows, web or APK options).

Step 2 — Open and choose login method

Open IPTV Smarters and accept terms if prompted. On the login page choose Login with Xtream Codes API — this is the option that uses your server URL, username and password.

Step 3 — Enter Xtream Codes details

Fill the fields exactly as sent in your welcome email: give the profile any name (for example “NordicIPTV.tv”), add the username, password and the server URL (include http:// at the start). Tap Add User. The app will download channels, VOD and series — this can take a few minutes.

IPTV Samsung: SmartOne IPTV (Method C) — Alternative

SmartOne IPTV is a stable alternative when Smarters isn’t available. It usually requires a one-time activation fee after a 7-day trial; this activation is managed by SmartOne (not your IPTV provider).

App cost and trial notes

SmartOne offers a free trial. After the trial you must activate the app on the developer’s website by paying the one-time fee. This purchase is independent from your IPTV subscription with us.

Install, get MAC and upload playlist

Install SmartOne via Samsung Smart Hub, launch it and note the MAC address shown on first run. Visit SmartOne IPTV, go to the Playlist or Upload Playlist tab, enter your MAC, choose Xtream/API then input your username, password and server URL. Submit and restart the app on your TV to load channels.

Other app options and download links for Samsung

If your Samsung model doesn’t have the app in the native store, consider these recommended apps and download options. Use official vendor pages where possible and choose the format that matches your device (mobile, TV, Windows).

Choose the app that best matches your TV model and your desired user experience (EPG, VOD, catch-up support, multi-screen).

Troubleshooting IPTV on Samsung Smart TV

Common issues are usually simple to fix. Here are the top problems and how to resolve them:


  • App won’t install or crashes: Update your TV firmware (Settings > Support > Software Update), uninstall and reinstall the app, and reboot the TV.

  • Invalid username/password: Double-check your Xtream/login details exactly as provided — usernames and passwords are case-sensitive.

  • No channels after upload: Ensure the M3U or Xtream server URL is correct and that you uploaded to the correct MAC address. Re-upload if necessary.

  • Buffering or freezing: Prefer Ethernet over Wi-Fi. If using Wi-Fi, ensure strong signal and avoid congested networks. Lower stream quality if your internet speed is limited.

  • EPG or VOD missing: Some apps require separate EPG URLs or have a refresh button; check the app settings and re-import EPG if needed.

If none of the above fixes the problem, please reach out to support — include the app you’re using, your TV model, and your order number. You can contact us directly from our Contact Us page or review the FAQ for immediate answers.

Optimization tips for best playback

To get the best IPTV Samsung playback experience, follow these suggestions:

  • Use a wired network connection when possible (recommended for stable streams).
  • Choose the correct video player app for your TV model; some apps handle buffering and reconnection better than others.
  • Keep your TV firmware and the app up to date.
  • Disable other heavy network users (large downloads or multiple 4K streams) when watching IPTV.
  • If using a VPN, ensure the VPN supports streaming and provides adequate speed for HD content.
