Step 3: Click on the “Install” button.
Step 4: Once installation is complete, click “Open” to launch the app.

Step 6: Accept the terms and conditions presented.
Configuring IPTV on IPTV Smarters Pro
Step 1: Click on the “Load Your Playlist or File/URL” button to proceed.
Step 2: Click “Allow” to grant IPTV Smarters Pro access to files on your device.

Give the playlist a recognizable name, especially if managing multiple IPTV services. Set the playlist type to M3U and use the M3U link provided by your IPTV provider.
Step 4: You should now see a screen indicating that the M3U content is loading:
Step 5: Once loading completes, click on “Live TV”:
Step 6: You will see the IPTV channel categories to the left, with channels listed in the center, alongside a Picture In Picture (PIP) display on the right.
Step 7: Select any channel you want. It will start playing in the small window for preview. To play full screen, click on the display.
Step 8: Enjoy watching in full screen by clicking the “Multi-Screen” button at the bottom.
Step 9: Choose your desired multi-screen layout.
Step 10: You can now watch multiple channels on various screens simultaneously.
This feature truly impressed me, as it’s the first time I’ve encountered a player with such capabilities—it’s absolutely fantastic!
Additional Functionality
Step 1: You can long-click on any channel in the list to add it to your favorites or to start recording, as the player supports live TV recording.
Step 2: The top right dot menu allows you to sort channels/categories or refresh the M3U content if needed.
Step 3: The “Settings” option prompts you to upgrade to the premium version for additional features.
Step 4: You can easily switch between “users,” or IPTV services, making the player efficient for managing multiple IPTV options.
Conclusion
Setting up IPTV on IPTV Smarters Pro is quite straightforward, although many features are reserved for the premium version. Overall, I recommend this player, particularly for its multi-screen support.
If you’re transitioning from an open-source player like Kodi, you might find the whole “premium version” concept a bit cumbersome.
