IPTV Smarters Pro is probably the best-known IPTV player. Its strength is simplicity and reach: it runs on Android, Fire TV, iPhone (as Smarters Player Lite), Windows, Mac and some smart TVs, with the same menus everywhere.

The home screen
Smarters splits content into Live TV, the guide, and a few extras. Live TV is where you will spend your time; use the search and favourites (heart icon). The Install EPG button refreshes the guide if it looks empty.
Common messages
- Invalid username or password: check spaces and capital letters; paste rather than type.
- Unable to connect: the server address needs http:// and sometimes a port.
- Playback error on one channel: in Settings, Player selection, switch between the built-in and VLC player.
