How to set up Prime IPTV on a Samsung or LG TV

Samsung (Tizen) and LG (webOS) TVs can't install Android apps, so TiviMate is out. Instead you use a player from the TV's own app store. The setup has one extra step compared with a Firestick: you link the TV to your playlist on the player's website, using a code the TV shows you.

Step by step

  1. 01

    Open the TV's app store

    On Samsung, press Home and open Apps. On LG, press Home and open the LG Content Store (called Apps on newer models).

  2. 02

    Install a player

    Search for IBO Player or Prime IPTV and install it. Both are made by independent developers, not by us. Either works with your subscription.

  3. 03

    Write down the device ID and key

    Open the player. The first screen shows a Device ID (or MAC address) and a Device Key. Take a photo of it with your phone.

  4. 04

    Add your playlist

    Go to the player's website on your phone, open the upload or manage playlist page, enter the device ID and key, then paste your M3U link or Xtream details. Or simply send the photo to us on WhatsApp and we'll add it for you.

  5. 05

    Restart the player

    Close the app completely and open it again. Your Prime IPTV playlist appears with Live TV, Movies and Series sections.

Things that help

  • These TV players usually run free for about a week, then ask for a one-time activation fee to the developer. That fee is separate from your Prime IPTV plan.
  • If the TV's built-in Wi-Fi is weak, a wired Ethernet cable makes a bigger difference on a TV than on any other device.
  • Older Samsung models (before 2018) often can't install these players. A Firestick is the easy fix.

Samsung & LG Smart TV questions

Can I watch Prime IPTV on a Samsung TV without a Firestick?

Yes, with a player from the Samsung app store, such as IBO Player or the Prime IPTV player. A Firestick still gives a slightly smoother guide, but you don't need one.

What's the device key for?

It ties your playlist to that specific TV on the player's servers, so nobody else can change it. Keep it private.

My LG TV doesn't show the app. Why?

Availability depends on the TV model and your region setting. If the app is missing, try another player from the store, or use a Firestick or Google TV Streamer plugged into the HDMI port.
