IPTV Smarters Firestick Pro-Lite Guide

In this IPTV Smarters Firestick Guide, both written and video tutorial, I am going to provide the Pro setup. The same steps apply for the Smarters Player Lite Firestick setup except for the Lite Apk URL that must be entered instead of the Pro Apk URL. The how to download Smarters Player Lite on Firestick or Pro setup can be used for any IPTV service that supports those TV players.

Already have the Pro or Lite app/apk version installed and need an IPTV provider subscription? Scroll down near the bottom and choose any one of the IPTVs listed to sign up and subscribe.

After the app/apk install setup is completed, I will refer you to where to get access to tons of live channels and VODs to watch all your favorites online. The app/apk must connect to the source where all the streaming content comes from. Otherwise, the Smarters app just sits on your device and does nothing.

Why not a written guide to download/install the Lite version? Because there is no apk URL anymore to download/install the Lite version. But the Pro version is better anyway. Read the Update below…

UPDATE:

The IPTV Smarters Lite apk Firestick URL needed to download and install is no longer available. The Lite apk URL that I used during 2023 no longer works. I have combed the Internet in search of a working Lite apk URL and could not find any.

Moving forward… This guide talks about the Lite version but focuses more on the extremely popular Pro version. The Pro works the same way, requires the same setup installation steps, and is also free to download on your Firestick, Fire TV, or NVIDIA Shield when installing the Downloader app. The last upgrade came in 2023.

There is no need to follow extra steps on how to install the Lite version on your Firestick via a 3rd-party app. Just install the Pro version that’s free. You only pay if you want the extra features which you don’t need. Important… You should use the latest Firestick version to avoid app/apk crashes and poor streaming performance. At the time of putting this guide together, I used the Firestick 4k.

Another Important Part of the Setup

The other part of this setup requires the activation/login credentials to activate the app before you can watch anything. The activation comes with an IPTV service subscription when signing up at the IPTV service website. No TV media player delivers any streaming content by itself. It works in conjunction with the IPTV service where all the streaming TV/VOD content comes from.

I will provide some of the top IPTV services where you can go to sign up, subscribe, and activate Smarters Player Lite on Firestick or IPTV Smarters Pro. If you already have the Lite version installed, you just need the activation/login credentials. You’ll get the complete Pro version setup when all is said and done. But before we get to that, you need to know the differences between the Pro and Lite versions.


Feedback from the IPTV Smarters Developer/Support

I contacted the IPTV Smarters support inquiring about the Lite Version and apk URL for Smarters Player Lite Firestick. I was hoping they would provide the Lite apk URL but they did not in the email message sent to me. This is what they had to say when wanting to install the Lite version…

“We have recently launched our “Smarters Pro” version and you can also use our demo apk on Firestick.”
Demo apk link:
https://iptvsmarters.com/smarters4-0.apk.

Note: The apk URL above is the same one that I provided in the written step-by-step guide below. What support is referring to below is the Firestick Wireless File Transfer if you want to go that route. I’m still scratching my head as to why support suggested following the optional steps below.

Steps to use the Android apk on Firestick:

  1. Download the wireless app on your Firestick from the app store… https://prnt.sc/l9Z8FQi7EmAF.
  2. Make sure you have the same internet on both devices; where the file is saved and where you want to download the file.
  3. Open wireless and grant all permissions.
  4. Open the wireless manager, and you will see the port https://prnt.sc/VujtkEMNISM6. Hit on that device where is your apk.
  5. Choose file… https://prnt.sc/Y1Yfh_3cncPE and click on the upload… https://prnt.sc/i91cDRGJV4zk and download the apk.

Note: I did not follow the steps above because I didn’t see a need to do so but you can if you want. You can watch the YouTube video tutorial below. But the simplest way would be to follow the written guide further down that uses the Downloader app.


IPTV Smarters Pro vs. Smarters Player Lite

Smarters Pro app comes with new features and a new UI as compared to the Lite version.

Both TV media players allow end-users to play their favorite streaming content such as live TV channels to watch sports, movies, shows, news, and so on, as well as play VOD movies and VOD TV series. Smarters Player is the Lite version of the Pro version–all the basic features are unlocked.

In other words, the Pro (Premium) version which is free to download allows you to unlock certain features for an additional cost such as External EPG Support, Master Search, and so on. But let me repeat, the media player doesn’t deliver any streaming content whatsoever without an IPTV subscription to activate.

There’s more to learn so don’t skip ahead to the how to download IPTV Smarters apk Firestick installation guide just yet. I recommended that you get educated on some things first so that you have a complete understanding.

Features and Compatibility

If you want to see the list of features, you can head over to the IPTV Smarters Pro website HERE. There is no need to contact them for anything. The IPTV service will take care of things for you. Some IPTVs already paid the cost that gives you access to the extra features for your use. But for the most part, you don’t need all those features, if any at all.

Both TV players support many platforms such as Computers (Windows, MacOS), Android (TV Box, Phone), iOS (iPhone, iPad), Web Browsers (Web TV Player), and Smart TVs (LG, Samsung). Smarters Pro is compatible with many types of playlists such as 1-Stream Panel API, Player API Based Playlist, and M3U Playlist URL.

The Smarters Lite can be found in the Apple Play Store for iOS/Android devices. For Android devices, you’ll find the Pro version app in the Google Play Store. You cannot perform the IPTV Smarters Firestick (Pro or Lite) installation setup when going to either one of those Play Stores. You must sideload the apk version of the media player app that’s found in the Apk directory. More on this later.

User Interface and Navigation

Both the Lite and Pro versions of IPTV Smarters have intuitive user interfaces that make them easy to navigate (sift through categories and sub-categories), search, and find live channels/VODs to watch. It appears the Pro version offers a slightly more up-to-date interface, with the 2023 4.0 version upgrade. This includes enhanced layout options and customizable themes for an improved, more personalized streaming experience.

EPG (Electronic Programing Guide / TV Guide)

The EPG is second to none and makes watching TV online more enjoyable. It allows the end user to choose groups of pre-selected channels by categories to load the TV guide. Both IPTV Smarters media players come with the EPG. Where the Pro version separates itself is the advanced feature enhancements such as Favorites, Search Functionality, and Reminders.

Simply put, you can load only sports channels in the EPG / TV Guide or load only US Movies and can play any of those channels from the EPG / TV Guide.

Multi-Screen Support

The Smarters Pro version and its cousin the Lite version both support multi-screen viewing that allows users to play up to 4 live channels (streams) at one time. A great time to use it is when two or more of your favorite sports are broadcasting at the same time.

Xtream Codes Compatibility

Both the Pro and Lite versions are compatible with Xtream Codes which is a very popular IPTV panel that makes activating and logging into either media player seamless. For this type of setup, the end-user is not required to enter any m3U Playlist which means all the extra steps are eliminated. This is generally what IPTV services have you do when following their setup instructions.

What You Need to Know

Let’s put aside all those extra features that you can pay for (optional) when using the Smarters Pro version. Keep in mind the Pro version is free to download/install, and use. But there’s something else you need to be aware of concerning the IPTV Smarters Lite Firestick setup. I’ll get that real soon.

The IPTV service you are going to subscribe to will provide setup installation instructions and URLs. This information is usually available on their website but they will email instructions once you sign up for the trial or subscription.

Which IPTV Smarters to Choose, Pro or Lite?

If you’re going to use a computer or smart TV, install the Pro version.

If using an iOS/Apple device, install the Smarters Lite version.

If you are going to use an Android Device, install the Pro version.

For smart TVs with built-in app stores such as Samsung and LG, install the Pro version.

For devices with an Android operating system (Firestice, Fire TV, NVIDIA Shield), you can only install the Pro version. This setup requires the IPTV Smarters Downloader code or IPTV Smarters apk Firestick URL to type into the Downloader app. More on this later.

The reason why you must use the Pro version setup for the Firestick, Fire TV, or NVIDIA Shield is that there is no Smarters Player Lite Downloader code. This means that there’s no Smarters Lite apk Firestick URL to install that version anymore. The Lite apk URL that I used in the past no longer works.


Smarters Pro Free Account

You can visit the IPTV Smarters Website Here to get the IPTV Smarters Premium version free account. The Pro or Premium version simply allows you to unlock extra features as explained earlier.

But these are features you can do without. Just understand that when visiting the Pro website, they Do Not provide an m3u playlist or IPTV service subscription to watch TV channels and VODs.

If you already have a playlist that’s okay. You don’t need to be concerned about having an m3u playlist because the IPTV service that I’m recommending will take care of all of that for you. You are not required to have a playlist and go through all the extra steps.

You are not required to go to the website for a Pro version free account. You just need an IPTV subscription that will activate IPTV Smarters and deliver all the streaming TV/VOD content. I will direct you later.


IPTV Smarters on Firestick Download

I explained earlier why you must go with the Smarters Player Lite on Firestick or Pro setup. This is because the Smarters Lite APK Firestick URL no longer works. I combed the web and could find another apk URL so as it stands now, there isn’t one. But that’s okay.

I have installed and used the Pro version with various IPTV services numerous times. I’m a fan of the Pro version and you will be too. Going forward, you will find the Smarters IPTV Firestick video tutorial where you’ll watch me download and install the Pro version step-by-step.

Additional Info…

Other websites don’t explain this which can be quite disappointing when reading and going through the setup only to find out there’s no Lite APK Firestick URL. The other websites mislead you by giving you the Smarters Pro app/apk URL when you thought you were getting the Lite version.

I am not going to mislead you so this is why I’m making it crystal clear you are getting the Pro version which is better.

You can watch the video tutorial and/or read the written guide below…

Activation and Login Screen



Step 7: IPTV Service Signup, Subscription & Activation/Login Credentials

The following would have applied to the Smarters Lite Firestick also if there was a Lite apk URL.

You must subscribe to an IPTV service that supports IPTV Smarters app/apk. Don’t worry, I already found two top IPTV services for you that I highly recommend using one or the other. The IPTV delivers all the streaming TV/VOD content. The IPTV Smarters Player connects to their servers where all the live channels and VODs come from.

What’s also important is that you get the activation/login credentials from the IPTV service such as Username, Password, and Portal URL. Everything you need to enter into the screen above where we left off. Also now that you get support from them and no one else. You must return to the IPTV service website to renew your subscription when time.

Additional Info…

Always remember the name of the IPTV service, and save all their emails when you receive them. Always know how to find their website. Click below to get started so that you can activate/log into the IPTV Smarters app/apk.


Where to Get Your IPTV Smarters Subscription and Activation

I am providing 3 top IPTV services that support the Smarters app/apk and setup. Choose one you like and save the others should you want to make a switch later. Links to read the full review and watch the video review/tutorials are provided as well.

All 3 IPTVs below have rebranded the IPTV Smarters app/apk where they customized the layout and design inside. As for IPTV Service 2, they have an App Store app with 3 or 4 TV players inside that you can choose one to install on the Firestick. They streamlined the setup process.

The rebranded Smarters app/apk is included. This IPTV service was formally called Choice IPTV but is now called Optimedia. Get your IPTV subscription and activation for IPTV Smarters below…

IPTV Provider 1 | Read Review | Watch Video

IPTV Service 2 | Read Full Review | Watch Video

NOTE: I have provided two of the top IPTV services that support the Smarters Pro Player. I highly suggest reading the Review to get further understanding and additional info.

Additional Info…

After signing up to get the subscription and activation, expect to receive emails from the IPTV service immediately. However, it may take longer to receive the last email with your activation/login credentials so be patient. If you don’t see any emails, look in your Spam/Junk mail folder and move them into your regular email inbox.

The IPTV needs to confirm your payment and set up your account. Once you have your credentials, write them down and then go back to number 6 above where we left off. You must type in your Username, Password, and Portal URL. Also, create a profile name–type in any name you want to call yourself. You can watch the video tutorial further up where I show how to enter the activation/login credentials.

When subscribing to the IPTV service, you will use the Bouquet feature to help create your playlist by checking off boxes for countries with the streaming content you want. This is great because you probably don’t want 40 countries or so with channels that you will never watch.
