Install Smarters Player Lite from the App Store and connect your iPad with the Xtream Codes API details supplied with your subscription.

01

Install Smarters Player Lite

Open the App Store on your iPad, search for Smarters Player Lite, then download and install the application. Open it when the installation has finished.

02

Choose Xtream Codes API

On the Smarters Player Lite welcome screen, select Login with Xtream Codes API. Use the connection details supplied by IPTVUK4K after your order.

Complete the login fields

Enter any recognisable Playlist Name, followed by the supplied Username, Password and Server URL. Type each value exactly as provided and keep the Server URL prefix unchanged.

Add your user profile

Check the four fields, then tap Add User. Smarters Player Lite will connect to the server and import the playlist linked to your subscription.

05

Load your subscription

Allow the live channels, films and series a moment to load. If the playlist does not appear immediately, close and reopen Smarters Player Lite and check the login details for typing errors.

Useful context for iPad.

Model-specific behaviour can vary, but the preparation and privacy principles remain consistent.

Update iPadOS, install through the official App Store and check account, Wi-Fi and casting settings before use. Follow the five-step checklist on this page and use only services you are authorised to access.

Include the exact iPad model, software version, current step, any non-sensitive error message and your order reference.

No. A full reset removes unrelated settings and should be a last resort. First check updates, network access, time settings and the specific application or browser route.

Only where your authorised service and access terms permit it. Sign out and remove saved details before selling, returning or sharing the device.
