After installing and activating the Smart IPTV (SIPTV) app, the next step is to load your IPTV service playlists. This allows you to access the channels and video-on-demand (VOD) content provided by your IPTV subscription. The process is straightforward and can be done directly through the Smart IPTV website using your device's unique MAC address.

Using the Smart IPTV Playlist Editor

The primary method for uploading playlists is via the Smart IPTV website. First, ensure your Smart IPTV app is installed and activated on your device. Note down the MAC address displayed on the app's main screen. Then, open a web browser on your computer or smartphone and go to the official Smart IPTV website (siptv.app). Look for the 'Upload Playlist' or 'Playlist Editor' section.

Adding Your M3U URL or File

On the website, you will be prompted to enter your MAC address. After entering it, you can add your playlist. Most IPTV providers offer playlists via an M3U URL. Paste this URL into the provided field. Alternatively, if you have downloaded your playlist as an M3U file, you can use the 'Upload File' option. Once your playlist is added, click the 'Save' or 'Update' button. The changes should reflect in your Smart IPTV app shortly after.

Refreshing the Playlist

After uploading or updating your playlist via the website, you may need to refresh the app on your device. You can usually do this by exiting and reopening the Smart IPTV app, or by using the 'Refresh' or 'Reload' option if available within the app's settings. Your channels and VOD content should then appear.
