Getting your m3u file

The first thing you need is an IPTV subscription in m3u format. Or rather, the URL of this file.

Concretely, we need the download address of this m3u file.

What’s an m3u file? πŸ€” It’s a file format that can be played with a video player like VLC, for example. This file contains the URLs of all the channels from your provider.

If you don’t have this URL, check if it’s not in the access email sent by your IPTV provider, otherwise ask them directly.

By the way, if your provider is serious, you shouldn’t normally need to ask them because they provided it to you with your access email. We’ll see a bit later on how to choose your IPTV provider wisely.

Do you have your URL? Great, let’s move on πŸ‘‡

Getting your Mac address

Before you can add your IPTV subscription, we need essential information: the Mac address of your smart TV. Go to your TV and launch the Smart IPTV application.

If no playlist is added, then it will directly display the Mac address on the screen. You can’t miss it, it looks like this: aa:bb:cc:dd:ee. Make sure to note it down somewhere πŸ“

What’s a Mac address? πŸ€” It’s an address that identifies your TV. Each device that can connect to a network or the internet has a unique Mac address. This allows identifying the type of device; it’s like its identity card, if you will.

Smart IPTV needs this Mac address to identify your TV and transmit the correct IPTV subscription, the one you added. Let’s add that playlist, by the way πŸ˜‰

Installing your IPTV subscription on Smart IPTV.
