FAQ

Why does Smart IPTV show no channels?

The M3U link may be incomplete, the MAC address may be wrong or the app was not restarted.

Do I need an EPG link?

Only if you want a TV guide and the app does not load EPG automatically.

Is Xtream Codes better than M3U?

If your app supports Xtream Codes, it is often cleaner. Smart IPTV often uses M3U.
