How to Set Up IPTV on Samsung Smart TV

Vivimate·April 2026

Samsung Smart TVs use Tizen OS and give you two paths to IPTV: installing directly from the Samsung App Store or using Developer Mode to sideload apps. Both methods work with Vivimate IPTV.

What You Need

  • Samsung Smart TV (2016 or newer running Tizen OS)
  • Home broadband — 10 Mbps+ for HD, 25 Mbps+ for 4K
  • Vivimate IPTV credentials (Server URL, Username, Password)
  • USB drive (for sideload method only)

Method 1: Install SS IPTV from Samsung App Store (Easiest)

1Press the Smart Hub button on your Samsung remote.
2Go to Apps and open the Samsung App Store.
3Search for 'SS IPTV' and install it.
4Launch SS IPTV and open Settings → Playlist.
5Select Add Playlist → Type: Xtream Codes.
6Enter your Vivimate IPTV Server URL, Username, and Password.
7Tap Save — your channel list populates automatically.

💡 SS IPTV is listed in the Samsung App Store — no Developer Mode or sideloading needed.

Method 2: Developer Mode (IPTV Smarters Pro)

1On your Samsung TV, go to Smart Hub → Settings → App Settings.
2Switch on Developer Mode and enter your PC's local IP address.
3On your PC, download Samsung's Tizen Studio and deploy IPTV Smarters Pro to the TV.
4Open the app, select Xtream Codes API, and enter your Vivimate IPTV credentials.
5Press Login — channels, VOD, and EPG all load right away.

💡 Developer Mode is intended for advanced users. For most people, Method 1 via SS IPTV is the faster and simpler choice.

Troubleshooting Samsung TV IPTV

App not in Samsung Store

Try Method 2 (Developer Mode) or plug a Firestick into your Samsung TV's HDMI port as an alternative.

Channels not loading

Test your connection speed. Samsung Smart TVs stream most reliably on a 5GHz Wi-Fi band or a direct Ethernet cable.

Buffering on 4K channels

Verify 4K output is enabled in your TV settings and confirm your internet plan delivers 25 Mbps or more.
