There are various Smart IP TV applications available that allow you to view IPTV channels on a variety of devices. Some are charged, while others are free, but not all apps are created equal in terms of usefulness. Some apps are only available for a single platform, making it difficult for customers to watch IPTV across many devices because they must use various apps on each device.
Those of you seeking a decent IPTV player on various Smart TV platforms will be relieved to discover that Smart IPTV, also known as SIPTV, is a viable alternative. It is one of the oldest IPTV player applications still in use, and it is available on a range of devices.
What exactly is Smart IPTV (SIPTV)?
Those who wish to take advantage of the app’s features will need to create their channels. But, before attempting to add channels to the app, you should first understand how to install SIPTV on your favorite devices, which involves some effort.
Installing this app on some devices is as simple as installing an app on your phone, but on others, you will need to do a little more work to get this program up and running. Also, not every platform is supported, so consider which devices Smart IPTV supports before diving in.
What are SIPTV devices supported?
IPTV is not only an Android app, but it is also accessible on a variety of Smart TV platforms. However, it may not be available on certain systems on the official app stores, so you will have to get it from their official website.
IPTV devices supported at the time of writing include Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, LG Smart TVs, Samsung Smart TVs, and MAG devices. So, if you own any of these devices, you’re in luck since you can utilize SIPTV without issue.
How can I configure IPTV on my Smart TV?
If you want to set up SIPTV on your Smart TV, you may do it effortlessly. Keep in mind that the configuration is entirely dependent on the model of Smart TV you have. If you have a Samsung Smart TV with Tizen OS, you must follow various procedures to set up SIPTV, whereas an LG Smart TV with WebOS requires a different set of instructions. I’ll take care of both for you.
How to Install SIPTV on a Samsung Smart TV
Unfortunately, for unexplained reasons, Samsung has deleted the SIPTV app from the official Samsung Apps Store, but that doesn’t mean you can’t install it on your device. Tizen OS TVs and non-Tizen OS TVs follow separate procedures.
Tizen Operating System
If you have a Samsung Tizen OS TV, you must install it using an external USB drive. Download and extract the Tizen Widget zipped directory from their official website to the USB flash drive’s root directory. Insert the flash drive into your Samsung TV, and the app will appear in the TV’s “My Apps” area. Ensure that the zip-contents files are extracted to the root of the flash device. After that, you may remove the flash drive, and the app will remain on your TV.
Non-Tizen Operating System
If your Samsung TV does not support Tizen OS, you will need to download an alternative file. To begin, save the Orsay Widget file to the root of an external USB drive and connect the flash drive to your television. On your TV, the SIPTV app will display in the Samsung Apps area. Once the software is installed on the TV, you may securely remove the USB device.
How to Install SIPTV on an LG Smart TV
You may use SIPTV on your LG Smart TV without any problems after it is installed. Fortunately, the SIPTV app is still available for download from the official LG app store. So all you have to do is go to the official LG Apps Store and search for the SIPTV app in the Entertainment category. From there, it only takes one click to download and install the app on your LG TV.
If the app is not accessible in your country for whatever reason, check in to any supported nation’s LG App Store and install the app from there. You may then return to your original country’s account, and the app will remain installed and accessible on your TV.
How can I connect IPTV channels to SIPTV?
SIPTV is extremely user-friendly, so adding channels and playlists is a breeze. If you wish to add IPTV channels to SIPTV, you’ll need a playlist from your IPTV provider. Because both M3U and TXT formats are available, the playlist can be in any format. Here’s how to integrate IPTV channels into SIPTV.
Go to the SIPTV website.
In the MAC box, enter the MAC address of your device.
Click the Browse button and choose the M3U/TXT playlist given by your network OR add a URL to the M3U/TXT playlist. If you have an EPG URL, you may also provide it.
Submit the form and restart the SIPTV app on your device.
After restarting the program, it should load all of your IPTV provider’s channels within minutes.
