How to add your playlist

M3U, M3U8 and Xtream Codes. About 2 minutes.

Smartersing is a player: it doesn't include any channels. You add the playlist you get from your provider, and Smartersing sorts it into Live TV, Movies, Series and Catch Up for you.

Easiest: from your phone or computer

  1. In the app, open Settings › Device and note your MAC address and PIN.
  2. On your phone or computer, go to smartersing.app/playlists and log in with them.
  3. Add your M3U link or your Xtream Codes account and save.
  4. Open Smartersing on your TV: the playlist is added by itself. No typing with the remote.

Add an M3U link in the app

  1. On the home screen, select Playlists, then the button to add a playlist.
  2. Choose From URL.
  3. Give the playlist a name (optional), for example My TV.
  4. Enter your M3U link, for example http://example.com/playlist.m3u. On a phone you can use Paste.
  5. Select Add Playlist. Smartersing loads and sorts everything automatically.

Add an Xtream Codes account

Your provider gives you a server address, a username and a password. Put them together in one link and add it with From URL, exactly like an M3U link:

http://SERVER:PORT/get.php?username=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD&type=m3u_plus&output=ts

Smartersing recognises Xtream Codes links and uses the account directly, so you also get the TV guide, movie posters and series with seasons and episodes.

Many providers also send this link ready to use: look for "M3U link" or "M3U Plus" in their message.

TV guide (EPG)

Xtream Codes accounts get the TV guide automatically. For an M3U playlist, you can add your provider's XMLTV guide link in the EPG URL (optional) field when adding the playlist.

Several playlists

You can add more than one playlist and switch between them from the home screen. To refresh or remove a playlist, open Settings › Playlists.
