SETUP GUIDES
How to Use YarTV on Any Device
Your subscription works on almost everything with a screen. Pick your device below and follow the steps — most setups take under 5 minutes.
🔑 What you need (find it in your dashboard)
Every guide below uses the same two things: your M3U playlist URL or your Xtream Codes login (server URL + username + password). Open your dashboard, copy them once, and you're set for every device.
1 Amazon Firestick / Fire TV
Recommended app: TiviMate (best) or IPTV Smarters Pro
- On Firestick go to Find → Search and install Downloader.
- Open Downloader, allow installs from unknown sources when asked.
- Enter the TiviMate APK URL (search "tivimate apk" — use the official site) and install it. Or install IPTV Smarters Pro directly from the Amazon Appstore.
- Open the app → Add Playlist → choose Xtream Codes login.
- Enter the server URL, username and password from your YarTV dashboard → Log in.
- Wait for channels to load (1–2 minutes on first run). Done — browse the EPG guide!
Tip: In TiviMate go to Settings → Appearance to enable the TV guide grid, and add favorite channels by long-pressing OK.
2 Android TV / Android Box
Recommended app: TiviMate or IPTV Smarters Pro (Play Store)
- Open the Google Play Store on your TV/box.
- Install TiviMate IPTV Player (or IPTV Smarters Pro).
- Open the app → Add Playlist → Xtream Codes login.
- Enter your server URL, username and password from the dashboard.
- Let the playlist sync, then enjoy. For 4K channels use a wired connection if possible.
Tip: TiviMate premium (one-time ~$10) unlocks recording, multiple playlists and favorites — worth it for heavy users.
3 Samsung Smart TV (Tizen)
Recommended app: Smart IPTV or IPTV Smarters (Samsung App Store)
- Open the Samsung App Store on your TV and install Smart IPTV (or IPTV Smarters).
- Open the app and note the MAC address shown on screen.
- On your phone/laptop go to the Smart IPTV website → My List, enter the MAC address.
- Upload your M3U URL from the YarTV dashboard (choose "M3U URL" not file upload).
- Restart the TV app — your channels appear in the playlist.
Note: Smart IPTV charges a small one-time activation (~€5.49) per TV after a 7-day trial. IPTV Smarters on Samsung uses Xtream login directly with no MAC step.
4 LG Smart TV (WebOS)
Recommended app: IPTV Smarters Pro or Smart IPTV (LG Content Store)
- Open the LG Content Store and install IPTV Smarters Pro.
- Open the app → Login with Xtream Codes API.
- Enter any name, plus the server URL, username and password from your dashboard.
- Tap Add User and wait for the sync to finish.
Tip: If the app isn't in your region's store, change the TV's region or use the Smart IPTV + MAC method like Samsung above.
6 iPhone / iPad
Recommended app: IPTV Smarters Pro or IPTVX (App Store)
- Install IPTV Smarters Pro from the App Store.
- Open it → Login with Xtream Codes API.
- Enter your server URL, username and password from the dashboard.
- Tap Add User — channels, movies and EPG will load.
Tip: Enable "Hardware decoding" in the app settings if 4K stutters on older iPhones.
7 Windows Laptop / Mac (PC)
Recommended app: VLC Media Player (free) or IPTV Smarters for PC
- Install VLC Media Player (videolan.org) — free and safe.
- Open VLC → Media → Open Network Stream (Ctrl+N).
- Paste your M3U URL from the dashboard → Play.
- Browse channels via View → Playlist (Ctrl+L).
Alternative: Install "IPTV Smarters Pro for PC" (Windows) for a proper TV-guide interface with Xtream login instead of the raw M3U list.
Quick Troubleshooting
Buffering / freezing?
Run a speed test — you need 5+ Mbps for HD, 25+ for 4K. Restart your router and the app, use a wired connection for TVs, and try turning off any VPN.
"Login failed" in the app?
Double-check the server URL for typos (it must start with http://), and copy-paste the username/password from your dashboard instead of typing.
Channels load but EPG is empty?
EPG takes a few minutes on first sync. In TiviMate: Settings → EPG → Update. Some smaller channels simply have no guide data.
Want to block adult content?
Every recommended app above has parental controls — set a PIN in the app settings and lock the adult category.
