How to Install IPTV on a Samsung Smart TV (Step-by-Step)
To install IPTV on a Samsung Smart TV: open the Samsung Apps store, install a player such as IPTV Smarters or IBO Player, and sign in with the Xtream Codes details from your Movarios welcome email. MAC-based apps like IBO Player instead ask you to activate on their website using the MAC address shown on your TV. The whole process takes about 5 minutes.
What you need
- Samsung Smart TV with Tizen (2017 or newer)
- Around 15 Mbps internet for HD, 25 Mbps for 4K
- An active Movarios plan or the free 24-hour trial
- No plan yet? Start the free 24 hours trial
Step-by-step setup
- 1
Open Samsung Apps
Press the Home button on the remote and open Apps from the bottom bar.
- 2
Install a player app
Search for IPTV Smarters (direct login) or IBO Player / Smart IPTV (activation via the app maker's website). Install the one you prefer.
- 3
Sign in directly (IPTV Smarters)
If you chose IPTV Smarters: open it, select “Login with Xtream Codes API”, and enter the username, password, and server URL from your welcome email.
- 4
Or activate by MAC address (IBO Player, Smart IPTV)
If you chose a MAC-based app: open it and note the MAC address shown on screen. On your phone or computer, go to the app maker's website, enter that MAC, and add your Movarios M3U link or Xtream details. The TV app reloads with your channels.
Tip: MAC-based players charge their own one-time activation fee (a few dollars) — that's the app maker's fee, not Movarios's.

Reload and watch
Reopen the app. Channels and the EPG sync on first load — give it a minute.
Best player apps for Samsung Smart TV

Troubleshooting
Can't find the app in Samsung Apps
App availability varies by TV region. Try IBO Player or Smart IPTV — or plug in an inexpensive Fire TV Stick and use the Firestick guide.
Channels didn't appear after activation
On the app maker's site, confirm the MAC matches your TV and the playlist was actually saved. Then restart the TV app.

Samsung Smart TV FAQ
Which app is best for Samsung TVs?
IPTV Smarters is the fastest start because it logs in directly on the TV. IBO Player is the most stable long-term option on Tizen in our support experience.
Do I pay the app maker or Movarios?
Movarios bills only for your subscription. Player apps with activation fees charge separately — that's their product, not ours.
My Samsung is from 2015 — will it work?
Tizen models from 2017 onward run current player apps. Older sets are best served by an external device like a Fire TV Stick.
