IPTV Smarters Pro for FireStick — How to Install & Use (2024)
What is IPTV Smarters Pro?
IPTV Smarters, also known as IPTV Smarters Pro, is an IPTV player that enables you to access channel playlists from multiple IPTV subscriptions. It functions as an IPTV management service, similar to Smart IPTV. Unlike Smart IPTV, which requires a one-time activation fee, IPTV Smarters is free, although a paid version is available with additional features. All essential services are free in the basic version.
It is important to note that IPTV Smarters Pro does not provide any IPTV services itself. It neither hosts channels nor has its own playlists. To use IPTV Smarters on FireStick and other devices, you will need the login credentials of an existing IPTV service provider subscription.
IPTV Smarters works exclusively with IPTV services that support M3U playlists or have an Xtream Codes API. The most significant advantage of IPTV Smarters is its ability to log in to multiple IPTV subscriptions, allowing you to access various IPTV services from a single location. Additionally, the app features a user-friendly interface, ensuring an excellent streaming experience.
Quick Features of IPTV Smarters
- No Channel Hosting: IPTV Smarters doesn’t host any channels. Its interface allows you to access channels from other IPTV service providers.
- Subscription Requirement: You must have a subscription from at least one IPTV service provider to use IPTV Smarters.
- Login Methods: To log in to IPTV Smarters, use your service provider’s M3U playlist URL or Xtream Codes API.
- Multiple Subscriptions: You can use multiple subscriptions from different IPTV providers.
- Convenient Access: IPTV Smarters is a great way to access multiple IPTV subscriptions from one place without installing individual apps separately.
Is IPTV Smarters Pro Safe & Legal?
IPTV Smarters Pro is not available in many reputed app stores like Amazon and Google Play, which complicates its safety status. Therefore, practicing caution and conducting research before using such apps is imperative.
That said, VirusTotal didn’t detect any issues when the APK file for IPTV Smarters Pro was tested. Have a look:
Next, the App’s Legality
The legality of IPTV Smarters Pro is also tricky. The unavailability in reputed app stores like Amazon and Google Play affects an application's legal standing. App stores conduct thorough research on all the available apps to ensure they are safe and legal. However, with third-party apps, you can't be too sure.
If you want to use IPTV Smarters Pro, pair it with a VPN. While streaming through unofficial platforms, a VPN like ExpressVPN will always protect you.

This is the window you will see next. To begin, click ADD USER in the top-right corner or ADD NEW USER in the middle of the screen.
There are two ways to sign in to your IPTV service on IPTV Smarters:
- Load Your Playlist or File/URL
- Login with Xtream Codes API
Load Your Playlist or File/URL
To use IPTV Smarters with the Load Your Playlist or File/URL option, your IPTV service must support M3U playlists. Not all IPTV services do.
Typically, your IPTV service provider will email you the login details after you purchase their subscription plan. This email should also include the M3U Playlist and EPG links. If you haven’t received these links, you may need to contact your IPTV provider.
When you select the Load Your Playlist or File/URL option, the app may request permission. Click Allow to proceed.
Here is the screen where you can enter the M3U playlist link:
- Choose the M3U URL radio box in the Playlist Type section.
- In the Playlist Name section, type any name you like.
- In the File/URL section, enter the M3U URL provided by your IPTV service.
- Click the Add User button to proceed.
Login with Xtream Codes API
M3U playlist URLs can be long and difficult to enter using the FireStick remote. Therefore, using Xtream Codes API is often more convenient as they are shorter and easier to type. However, Xtream Codes are no longer working, and the functionality of API Codes may be uncertain.
Your IPTV provider will email you both the Xtream Codes API and M3U playlist URL. If you haven’t received these details, contact your IPTV provider.
When you select Login with Xtream Codes API, you will see a window where you can enter your credentials.
