Step 1:  From the app market on your smart tv search, find and install Smart STB App.

After that, we can initiate the time for testing. To do that we first need to discover the Software MAC Address which is required for application activation on Smart-STB site. What is the MAC?

To find Software MAC address do as instructed below:

After loading in the main page to to “Setting” then “Smart STB Settings“.

Step 2: Now that we understand the needed MAC address info, it is time to activate the app trial period. First, log onto the trial activation page of Smart-STB website by opening this URL:
https://billing.smart-stb.net/index.php

In homepage of Smart STB website click on “TRY & BUY” then “MY LICENSE

Now you need to add your Virtual MAC address and Portal address you received from your IPTV provider here and active your 7 days free trial for Smart STB app.

Now as you can see, Order Status is set as Active meaning the trial period has started.

Now if you head back to the “Device Details” page of the app on your TV where we previously visited, you`ll see the trial has started and an expiry date is indicated.

Activation of the paid licenses

Considering that Software MAC address and account registration on the Smart-STB side has already been done, upgrading to a paid license is very simple and easy.

Step 1: Log into the smart-STB website and go to “MY LICENSE“.
Clock on “Active“.

Step 3: These are the following paid monthly and yearly licenses to which you can subscribe.

For example, if you subscribe to the lifetime package, the subscription status in device info page will change to Paid and expire to Never since it is a lifetime subscription.

Add or Change Portal address on Smart STB

Now that the app has is activated, we need to input an IPTV source from a provider of your choice. From the device info page of the app, find Virtual MAC address and send it to the IPTV provider. They should register the MAC address on their system and provide you with a stalker portal URL. Once the portal URL is received, you can add the Portal address in 2 ways:

Add Portal directly on app

    1. Hey läuft eigentlich alles super das einzige was fehlt ist bei der m3u url ein epg ! Also man kann keine epg URL selber einfügen ! Schade

  1. I have started using iptv via Smart STB app and on Samsung 55 inch smart TV

    Channels are appearing, but my Samsung TV remote is getting hanged every time I use it. I can not go to even from one channel to other channel. Even when I saw program in a selected channel, it is very slow and gets hanged.

    Ip tv provider says that it is “Smart STB” app problem and not subscription problem.

    Anyone knows solution?

    1. Please try to reduce the number of channels you want to watch, only keep the country channels you want and remove other country channels.
      Also deselect VODs and Series from your list will help to have Smart STB faster.

  2. I see a lot of this “IPTV Provider”. Who are they? I want to try this but how do I get the IPTV Provider and get the “portal URL” asked for? I thought this trial period should include the IPTV information been asked for. I use the mainstream companies AT&T and I know that’s not the portal url you are asking for. Please help.

  3. Where can I find my activation code after paying, when I clicked on it once it said you can only view you code once in a year

  4. Hi, how can i make categorys for countrys? I only have 1 huge list not sorted. Hoew should the link looks like to add for having categorys?

    1. Hi
      Are you sure that you have this problem on Smart STB app?
      Usually when you do not use m3u with options url you can not see each country channels separately.
      But Smart STB is an app which works with portal not m3u url.

  5.

    Thanks for any help.

  6. My STB tv has stopped working. I’ve spoken to my iptv provider who done tests etc and all ok their end, how do i get in touch with STB tv to do the same? It says server not working?

      1. Hi I need help please

        Can you help please ?

  7. Can anyone advice how to set buffering AND save it under playback menu?
    I have a 2016 curved Samsung 65″ with smart stb installed.

  8. I want to know how to add a NEW URL PORTAL to my SMART-STB App on my Sony Bravia TV. This will enable me have two Portals so I can decide which one is better.

      1. hello great app thank you! everything works! but you can not insert an epg url unfortunately! portal is epg there! but with a m3u url there is no epg unfortunately! Kind regards

          1. Hello ! yes with url and mac stalker everything is there only with the m3u url there is no epg! but there will be a new version from 15.6! is on the side with the purchase! the full will no longer exist, only the lite will continue! instead of the full there will be a new version, so from 15.6 there will no longer be a lifetime subscription! but the app has a bit of bugs, you can’t start the app very often! then only helps uninstall and reinstall! I also have the cosmi iptv player app but my wife prefers the stb and it is nicer! it’s a pity that no recording works with stalker! thank you mfg

            Sorry for Englisch – Google translate

  9. Det fungerade i början. Testade “demotiden” Skaffade betalveritionen, funkade ett tag. sen får jag upp texten selected portal is no onger valid, maybe is problems or has blocked Smart STB app

  10. but actually you can also use cosmi iptv player , tivimate, trex stb , cystal stb and stbemu etc instead of smart stb there you have it for free for a few and you have to pay for a few but more possibilities! With cosmi iptv player I can actually do everything and without device limit as long as the same account
