Google TV is one of the easiest systems for IPTV. If you have a Chromecast with Google TV, a Google TV streamer or a TV that runs Google TV (many Sony, TCL and Hisense models), you install an IPTV app from Google Play just like on a phone. Older Chromecast dongles without a remote work differently, so check which one you have first.

Which Chromecast do you have?

  • It came with a remote and shows a home screen with apps: that is Google TV. Follow the first section below.
  • It has no remote and you cast to it from your phone: that is an older Chromecast. Skip to the second section.

Google TV, Chromecast with Google TV and Google TV televisions

  1. On the home screen, go to Apps and search for IPTV Smarters Pro. Install it. (TiviMate is another good choice; its premium features cost extra from its developer.)
  2. Open IPTV Smarters Pro and choose Login with Xtream Codes API.
  3. Enter any name you like, then the username, password and server address from your IPTVSup email. Type the server address exactly as written.
  4. Select Add user. The app downloads your channels, films and TV guide; this takes a minute the first time.
  5. Open Live TV, pick a category and start watching.

If the app is not found in search, open the Google Play Store app on the device directly and search there. Google TV only shows apps that support TV remotes, and IPTV Smarters Pro does.

Older Chromecast (no remote)

Older Chromecasts cannot install apps. You run the app on your phone and cast the video to the TV:

  1. Install IPTV Smarters Pro on your Android phone or iPhone and log in with your IPTVSup details.
  2. Make sure the phone and Chromecast are on the same Wi-Fi.
  3. Start a channel and tap the Cast icon in the player, or use Android’s screen cast from the quick settings panel.

Casting works, but your phone stays involved. If you watch every day, upgrading to a Chromecast with Google TV or a Firestick gives you a proper TV app with a guide and a remote.

Getting the best picture

  • Chromecast with Google TV handles HD and 4K channels; you need around 10 Mbps for HD and 25 Mbps for 4K.
  • If you get buffering, move the router closer or use Google’s Ethernet power adapter for the Chromecast.
  • In IPTV Smarters, use Settings > Player to switch the player if a channel stutters; the built-in player and the alternative player handle some streams differently.
