Set up TiviMate Player on Samsung Smart TV

Samsung runs Tizen, not Android, so the route is different: the app comes from Samsung’s own store and your playlist is registered against the television itself.

Before you start

  • The credentials email we send once your order is confirmed — either an M3U link, or a server address with a username and password.
  • The device you want to watch on, connected to the internet.
  • Around 15 Mbps for Full HD, 25 Mbps for 4K, measured on that device.

Which app to use

Smart IPTVby siptv.app · Samsung Apps, on the television

It is the Tizen app we see working most consistently, and it is still shipping updates — which matters more on a TV app store than anywhere else.

Version 3.1.3 for Samsung Tizen 6.5+ televisions (2022 models onwards) released 29 July 2026. Checked 4 October 2026.

It charges a small one-off activation fee paid to its own developer. That is separate from your subscription and we receive none of it.

We publish none of these applications and receive nothing from their developers. Any player that takes an M3U link or an Xtream Codes login will work with your subscription — this is simply the one we see working best here.

The steps, in order

  1. 1

    Install the app on the television

    Open Samsung Apps from the TV home screen, search for an IPTV player, and install it. Support will tell you which one we see working best on Tizen if you would rather not choose.

  2. 2

    Note the MAC address it shows

    On first launch the app displays a MAC address and a web address. Write the MAC address down exactly — this is how the app ties your playlist to this television.

  3. 3

    Register your playlist

    On a phone or computer, open the web address the app showed, enter that MAC address, and paste the M3U link from your credentials email.

  4. 4

    Reload the app

    Close the app on the television and open it again. The channel list downloads, then the programme guide fills in behind it — on a large playlist the first run takes about a minute.

The mistake that stops most people

Typing the MAC address from memory. One wrong character and the app loads nothing, with no message explaining why. Copy it character by character from the screen.

Questions about Samsung TV

Which Samsung TVs are supported?
Samsung Smart TVs running Tizen, which covers models from roughly 2016 onwards. Older Orsay-based sets have no suitable app store.
Why does the app ask me to pay?
Some Tizen IPTV apps charge a small one-off activation fee, paid to the app’s developer. That is separate from your subscription with us and we receive none of it.
Can I avoid the app store route?
Yes — plug in a Fire TV Stick or an Android TV box and follow that guide instead. Many people find it smoother than the TV’s own apps, and the subscription is the same.

Stuck on a step?

Support answers around the clock, and from the 6-month plan onwards we walk the setup through with you on your own device rather than sending instructions.
