1. How to Install IPTV on Firestick (Amazon Fire TV)

The Firestick is the most popular device for IPTV, but since most players aren't on the official Amazon Store, you need to "Sideload" them.

1. Enable Developer Options: Go to Settings > My Fire TV > About. Click on "Fire TV Stick" 7 times until it says "You are now a developer."

2. Allow Unknown Sources: Go back to Developer Options and turn on "Apps from Unknown Sources."

3. Install Downloader: Search for the "Downloader" app in the Amazon App Store and install it.

4. Download the IPTV App: Open Downloader and enter the code for your favorite app (e.g., enter 224877 for IPTV Smarters Pro).

5. Install & Open: Once the APK is downloaded, click Install and launch the app.

If you have a Sony, Philips, or TCL TV, or an Nvidia Shield/Mi Box, the process is even easier.

1. Open Google Play Store: Search for "TiviMate" or "IPTV Smarters Pro."

2. Install the App: Download and open the player.

3. Add Your Playlist:

   • M3U URL: Paste the link you got from our GitHub playlists.

   • Xtream Codes: Enter the Server URL, Username, and Password.

3. Setting Up IPTV on Samsung & LG Smart TV

For TVs running Tizen (Samsung) or WebOS (LG), you don't need a Firestick; you can use the built-in app store.

1. Search the App Store: Look for apps like "IPTV Smarters Pro", "Nanomid", or "Smart IPTV."

2. Install & Launch: Open the app on your TV.

3. Upload Playlist: Some apps (like Smart IPTV) will give you a MAC Address. You visit their website on your phone/PC to upload the M3U link to your TV.
