- Download the App: Navigate to your TV’s App Store and look for IPTV Smarters Pro.

Setting Up Any IPTV Player App on Smart TV (Paid)
This demonstration uses HOT IPTV, but the same method applies to other IPTV applications.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Download the App: Search for HOT IPTV in the App Store– (IBO Player Pro/ Ibo Player/ Duplecast etc. All these apps follow identical setup steps!)
- Once installed, launch the app and take note of the MAC address displayed.
- Send Your MAC Address:
- Option 1: Forward your MAC address via WhatsApp by clicking here. Include the MAC address, app name, and your payment email/order ID.
- Option 2: Proceed with manual setup using the steps below. (It’s simple!)
- Visit the HOT IPTV Website: Access the URL shown in the HOT IPTV app: https://hotplayer.app/upload
- Enter MAC Address: Input your MAC address and click NEXT.
- Add Your M3U Link: Paste the M3U link from your email and assign a playlist name (any name will work).
- Save and Restart: Hit save, then relaunch the app to start streaming.
Notes
- The same procedure applies to any other PAID IPTV app you select.
- Ensure the M3U link pasted on the app’s site uses HTTP! not HTTPS! (a common mistake).
- Most Smart TV apps are paid, with IPTV Smarters Pro being the exception—though it can be sluggish and prone to glitches. For better reliability, consider IBO Player Pro or HOT IPTV.
