IPTV Doesn’t Work on Your Samsung or LG TV? Tried-and-Tested Solutions Without Google Play

IPTV account not working on your screen?

Proven solutions for Samsung and LG screens without the Google Play Store

Understand the problem first

If you own a Samsung or LG smart TV, you may have encountered difficulty installing popular IPTV apps like X9TREAM , Smarters Player, or VLC.

The reason is simple:

  • Samsung screens running Tizen
  • LG screens running webOS
  • This is simply because the systems do not have the Google Play Store, which means that the usual applications on Android devices are not directly available on them.


Ok, is there a solution?

Yes, the solutions are supported and tested. In this article, we'll show you the best alternative apps and a step-by-step guide to activating your account.



Alternative applications available for these screens

✅ IBOPLAYER

✅ HOTPLAYER

✅ SMARTONE IPTV




Activation steps for any application

  1. Open the app on your smart screen.
  2. A QR code will appear.
  3. Scan it with your mobile phone.
  4. You will be redirected to the account registration page.



Data required for activation:

  • Mac Address: Get it from the app directly on your screen
  • Port: The number at the end of the Host link, such as 80 or 8080.
  • Server URL: The link without a port number, e.g. http://test.online
  • User: The username sent to you
  • Pass: The password sent to you

After entering the data, the account will be activated automatically or a page will appear for you to enter the final activation code.



Important note

All of the above apps offer a free trial period (usually 7 to 14 days).

You will then need to purchase a license to continue using it.



SMARTER PLAYER PRO

Many users ask about SMARTER PLAYER PRO because it is a popular and easy to use application.

But the problem is that it doesn't work with most IPTV accounts because it's not the original app, even if it looks like it.

So we recommend the alternative solutions mentioned above.



The most powerful solution: Use an external TV Box.

If you want more convenience and flexibility, we recommend switching to an Android device such as:



🔸 Mi Box S

  • Android powered
  • Contains Google Play
  • Supports all applications easily



🔸 Android TV Box

  • Available in several models and companies
  • Make sure to choose a device with a warranty and an official agent.
  • Connects to the display via HDMI port

This option turns your screen into a full Android interface, opening up access to all apps without exception.
