Set up IPTV on iPhone or iPad
- Open the App Store and search for IPTVX, GSE Smart IPTV or Smarters Player Lite.
- Install the app and open it.
- Choose Add playlist or Login with Xtream Codes.
- Enter the server URL, username and password from your welcome email, or paste the M3U playlist link.
- Tap Add or Save and wait a moment while channels and the guide load.
Tip: copy the details straight from the email on your iPhone and paste them into the app. Typing long URLs by hand is the most common cause of login errors.
Watch on your TV with AirPlay
- Connect your iPhone and TV device to the same Wi-Fi network.
- Play a channel in the IPTV app.
- Tap the AirPlay icon in the player (a rectangle with a triangle), or open Control Center and tap Screen Mirroring.
- Choose your Apple TV, Roku or AirPlay-compatible TV.
Try the player’s AirPlay control first if it has one. Screen mirroring displays the whole phone, including notifications. Video quality, background playback and protected-content restrictions depend on the app and receiving device. See the Apple TV guide.
Watching on the go: save mobile data
The bitrate and time watched determine data use. Resolution labels alone are not enough to predict it. As an illustration, a constant 5 Mbps stream uses roughly 2.25 GB per hour before overhead; the cost guide shows the calculation.
- Check the player’s cellular-data use in iPhone settings after a short session.
- Choose a lower-bitrate version if it is available and you need to conserve data.
- Stop playback when you finish rather than assuming it ends when you leave the app.
For a second screen, check the simultaneous-device limits and your mobile plan’s data allowance before watching on both devices.

Moving between your phone and TV
Try your trial login on Wi-Fi before using mobile data. Test AirPlay separately: successful playback on the phone does not establish that your receiving TV supports the same stream.
If AirPlay fails, send support the iPhone model, player name and receiving TV model. Mention whether the video still plays on the phone.
