SMART IPTV ANDROID AND AMAZON FIRESTICK
Installing the app on Android TV devices
Android TV application version is available in Google Play store.
Follow this link to install the app. If it's not compatible with your device in Google Play, it means your device is not Android TV.
After you select one of your devices and press Install button, the application icon will appear on the TV home screen automatically.
You can check the list of official certified Android TV devices on the Android TV Guide website. Phones/tablets are not supported.
If you would like to test new features as they appear, you can apply for the Beta test by following the instructions. Turn on your TV (switch to Android TV home screen) and install the app from PC using your Google account by clicking Download it on Google Play link after you apply as a tester on the link provided above.
Installing the app on Fire TV devices
The application is no longer available in the Amazon Apps store. You can install the application on your Fire TV device by entering apk.siptv.app in the Downloader app or your device's browser's URL field. You can also follow this guide to sideload applications on Amazon Fire TV devices.
If you installed the app from Amazon Apps store before, try installing the app from Purchased items of your Amazon account first, then manually update it with the latest version.
Media playback
Please check Media formats and codecs, supported by Android platform. If your stream doesn't work in the app directly, it means it is not supported by native Android codecs, so you will have to use external app (check remote control commands below), which does.
Important 1! You need to install one of the media players available in Google Play to play videos in your playlist. Some examples are VLC, MX Player etc. You can also use it as an external player for your streams.
Important 2! The Android version of the application is still in very early development stage, so it still doesn't have all the feature present in the app on other TV platforms. All these features will be added gradually over time.
Loading your own playlist
The application does not include any channels, it is only a tool to watch your IPTV streams.
You can load your own IPTV playlist by following these instructions in the playlist upload section.

If there is no app in your country, try signing up in any other country's Smart TV Services and download the app from there. You can change back to your original country after you install the app, it will be saved.
Loading your own playlist
By default, there is already a test playlist for you to check how the App works. After that, you can load your own IPTV playlist by following these instructions. You can use this converter to convert your M3U playlist to the Smart IPTV format.
General RC commands
- P+/P- and Arrows - Switch pages, groups, channels and videos
- Up/Down - Show current programme information; Channel history
- ОК, Wheel - Load channel list in play mode
- INFO, INFOx2 - Show current programme information
- Nr. Keys - Channel number selection
- "0" - Reload playlist; Previous channel in play mode

Stream types supported on LG webOS
Streams of type UDP:// (Multicast), RTP://, RTMP://, RTSP:// don't work on LG Smart TVs with webOS onboard. The types of streams that are supported on LG webOS are listed here.
UDP:// (Multicast) streams only work using UDPXY. Please contact your provider for more information.
Streams of type MMS:// only play correctly using Netcast (Emu) webOS video mode set in application settings.
Changing audio language
If you have webOS 3.0 TV, you can select audio track and turn subtitles on/off using red/green buttons. On webOS 2.0 it's only possible to turn subtitles on/off.
For older LG Smart TVs, the audio track can only be "forced" in the playlist (for streams only, not VOD!). Otherwise, stream audio language is automatically selected based on the Audio Language Settings (1st Audio) on your LG Smart TV (see picture below).
If you have webOS TV, you will need to set webOS Video Mode to NC MPEG or NC Auto in App's Settings for this "forced" function to work. This function only works for streams that it supports (usually HTTP only, not m3u8).
Stream audio language can still be overridden by adding the following codes to your streams in the playlist:
http://123.123.22.11:8000,ru
http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/videos/big_buck_bunny.mp4,en
Using this parameter, the spicific audio language will be forced. In this case "ru" - Russian. You can check the audio tracks in VLC, language codes are listed here: http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php
Examples: ru - Russian, en - English, de - German, lt - Lithuanian, et - Estonian etc..
The track change can be delayed up to 10 sec. Use only in case the TV selects inappropriate track. Could probably work on Multicast streams (UDP).
HLS Mode
HLS Mode sometimes helps open streams faster on older non-webOS LG TVs (except 2012 LM series). Just experiment with your streams and see if it helps.
Lock MAC (since App version 2.1.25)
You can lock your MAC address in application settings by using the Lock MAC button to avoid your playlist being reset by somebody else or if you shared your MAC address with some third party.
If you want to remove the PIN, just use 0000 when locking MAC address again.
SMART IPTV ON SAMSUNG SMART TV
Samsung has suspended the app from the Apps store. You can manually install the app by using the following options:
Tizen TVs (J/K/M/N/Q/R):
Extract (unzip) the contents of the following Tizen Widget file to the root of the USB drive and insert it to your TV’s USB slot. Make sure the userwidget directory is located in the root of your USB drive. The application will appear on My Apps screen among other apps.

-Installing STB Emu on an Android device like Smart TV, Amazon FireTV Stick, Android Box ...
-Installing and configuring IPTV on STB Emu
-Installing STB Emu on Android device
1-First step would be finding and installing the app. So open up PlayStore on your android box and in search area type STB Emu. Select the one as shown above.
2-This is how the app should look like on your PlayStore. Creator should show as Maxim Vasilchuk.
Note: As you can see above, it is a Free app. It is also mentioned that it contains Ads. Pro version of this app is very much the same except for two things: 1-No Ads, although no Ads have bugged anyone on the free version 2-It enables you to use MAG App Control. This includes features like Play/Pause the stream, Fast forward, Keyboard search, On-screen display ... . If you want those and willing to pay for it, you can go with Pro version.
3-Ready, Open it now.
4-After opening the app for the first time, this message will pop up.
5-Click some where on the screen and control buttons will appear. Then from the top right. click on the drop down menu sign.
6-Click Settings.
-Installing and configuring IPTV on STB Emu
To complete this step, two things must be done:
-Finding our MAC address for Stalker Portal activation on IPTV Provider`s side
-Entering IPTV Provider`s Stalker Portal URL inside the app
1-To configure STB settings, select Profiles.
2-Select where says New Profile, shown in red. You can either rename and reconfigure this profile or remove and add new one. In this instance, we simply edit the default profile.
3-This is how it looks inside Profile section. To edit the profile, we need to rename it first so later we recognize our configuration.
4-Let`s name it Live TV. Now click Ok.
5-After naming the profile and clicking OK, you`ll go back to Profile Settings page (Step 3). From there choose Portal Settings and then you`ll have the above page. Click on Portal URL.
6-Now this is where we place the URL from which all the IPTV content is being delivered from IPTV Server to our App, so needs to be entered correctly. You`ll receive this from whom you get the trial/paid IPTV subscription. Type the URL, click OK and go back.
7-From Profile Settings page, choose STB Configuration.
8-Here we have the last piece of the puzzle, the MAC Address. Stalker Portal activation does not have username/password for authentication. You simply send your device MAC address to the IPTV provider, they`ll activate the MAC and send you a portal URL (Step 6). So type the MAC address shown on your app (it is different from our instance for sure) and send it to your provider for activation.
9-Now go all the way back to the main screen of the app and from the top right drop down menu sign, go to Profile and click on the profile you created earlier.
10-As an alternative, it is also possible to click on the menu sign on the top left and from the drop down menu choose Reload Portal. Since we only have one portal profile configured, it will reload that one automatically. It is sometimes necessary to reload portal due to changes being made or to sort a glitch.
11-If all properly setup, portal should be loading like above.
12-Portal will load like this, nice categorized form of a MAG. There you can choose between Live TV categories, Videoclub ... .
STB or MAG
IPTV is supported within STB Emulator.
Here is an easy to follow tutorial that will show you how to setup the STB Emulator for Root.
