Great IPTV on Android Phone & Tablet: Step-by-Step Setup

What you need

1
Install the app
Open Google Play, search IPTV Smarters Pro and tap Install. XCIPTV is a lighter alternative for older phones.
2
Choose the Xtream login
Open the app, tap Login with Xtream Codes API, and choose "Xtream Codes" (sometimes called "Xtream API" or "Login with Xtream"). Enter any name for the playlist, then the server URL, username and password exactly as they appear in your Great IPTV welcome email — the URL starts with http:// and includes the port number. Save and wait while channels, movies and the guide load.
3
Browse Live TV
Tap Live TV, choose a category such as USA Sports, and tap a channel. Double-tap the video for full screen.
4
Use the catch-up and guide
Open TV Guide from the main screen to see what's on; channels with a clock icon support catch-up for recent programs.
5
Cast to a TV (optional)
Swipe down Quick Settings and use Smart View, Screen Cast or the Cast icon in the app to send the stream to a Chromecast, Google TV, Samsung or Roku TV.

Allow the app to run in the background (Settings → Apps → [app] → Battery → Unrestricted) so picture-in-picture doesn't stop.
Download is not supported for live TV — stream on Wi-Fi when you can.
Tablets with 4 GB of RAM or more handle the full TV guide much better than older phones.

Battery optimisation is killing it. Set the app's battery usage to Unrestricted and lock it in recent apps if your phone allows it.

In the player's settings, switch the player from the default to the built-in VLC or ExoPlayer option, and choose Hardware decoder.

Both devices must be on the same network. Some players don't support casting directly — use the phone's system Screen Cast option instead.
