GSE Smart IPTV is one of the longest-running IPTV players, popular on Apple devices because it handles almost any playlist.

You need your IPTV login: an Xtream Codes login (server, username, password) or an M3U link plus a guide link. IPTV Trends sends both after payment; see M3U vs Xtream Codes for which to use.

Add an Xtream Codes account

  1. Open the side menu and choose Xtream Codes API.
  2. Tap + and enter a name, server URL, username and password.
  3. Save and select the account to load channels and guide.

Or add an M3U link

  1. Choose Remote playlists and tap +.
  2. Add the M3U URL and a name.
  3. In EPG sources, add the guide link.

Useful settings

  • Player options: switch between the built-in players if a channel will not play.
  • Parental lock for adult groups.
  • AirPlay and Chromecast for sending to a TV.

Common problems

  • No guide: refresh the EPG source and check the time shift.
  • Playlist will not load: check the URL for typos and spaces.
