Frequently asked questions ## What IPTV Smarters is, and is not IPTV Smarters is developed by WHMCS Smarters, which also builds IPTV software for businesses. The app shows live TV, films, series and a programme guide using the login your provider supplies. It is legal software; whether what you watch in it is legal depends entirely on the service you log in to. See [is IPTV legal in the UK?](https://streampulsetv.co.uk/iptv-legal/is-iptv-legal-uk/). You will see several versions mentioned online, such as Smarters Pro, Smarters Player Lite and editions for smart TVs. Availability differs by platform and changes over time, so always start from the developer’s official website or your device’s official app store. ## Installing IPTV Smarters safely - **Android phones, tablets and Android TV**: check Google Play first. - **Fire TV**: check the Amazon Appstore. On Fire OS devices you can also install it from the developer’s official website using the Downloader app, as described in our [Fire TV guide](https://streampulsetv.co.uk/iptv-devices/firestick/). - **Windows and Mac**: download the desktop app from the official website only. - **Samsung and LG TVs**: search the TV’s app store; availability varies by model year. **About "downloader codes"** Codes shared in videos and forums can point anywhere. Modified "Smarters" APKs are a known way to spread malware and to push unlicensed channel lists. Type the developer’s official address yourself instead. ## Logging in with Xtream Codes 1. Open IPTV Smarters and select **Add user** (or **Add new user**). 2. Choose **Login with Xtream Codes API**. 3. Enter any **name** for the profile, for example "Living room". 4. Enter the **username** and **password** we send you, exactly as written. They are case-sensitive. 5. Enter the **server URL**, including "http://" or "https://" and the port number if there is one, for example http://server-address:8080. 6. Select **Add user**. Channels, films and the guide download; this can take a minute the first time. Using an M3U link instead? Choose **Load your playlist or file/URL**, paste the link and save. See [M3U playlists](https://streampulsetv.co.uk/iptv-setup/m3u-playlist/). ## Settings worth changing - **Player selection**: if some channels stutter or show a black screen, switch between the built-in player options in Settings, and try hardware or software decoding. - **EPG timeshift**: if the guide is an hour out, adjust the timeshift. UK clocks change twice a year, so check it in March and October. - **Automation**: set channels and the guide to refresh automatically when the app starts. - **Parental control**: set a PIN for categories you want to lock. ## Common IPTV Smarters problems ### "Unfortunately IPTV Smarters has stopped" Clear the app’s cache and data (Settings → Applications), restart the device and reinstall from the official source if it continues. ### Playback error or black screen Switch the player option in Settings, check your login has not expired and test the same channel on another device. More in [IPTV not working](https://streampulsetv.co.uk/iptv-troubleshooting/not-working/). ### Login failed Usually a typo, a missing "http://" or port, or the maximum number of screens already in use. See [Xtream Codes logins](https://streampulsetv.co.uk/iptv-setup/xtream-codes/). ### Empty or wrong guide Refresh the EPG and check the timeshift. See [EPG not loading](https://streampulsetv.co.uk/iptv-troubleshooting/epg-not-loading/). ## Frequently asked questions **Is IPTV Smarters free?** The player itself is free to download on most platforms. It contains no channels: you need a subscription, which provides the login details. **Is IPTV Smarters legal in the UK?** Yes, the app is legal software. Using it with an unlicensed service is not. See [IPTV legality](https://streampulsetv.co.uk/iptv-legal/is-iptv-legal-uk/). **What is the server URL in IPTV Smarters?** It is the address of your provider’s server, sent with your username and password. Enter it exactly, including "http://" and the port number if one is given. **Can I use IPTV Smarters on more than one device?** Yes, install it on each device and add the same login. How many can play at once depends on your plan’s [screens](https://streampulsetv.co.uk/iptv-subscription/multi-screen/).
