Internet Protocol TV (IPTV) offers a whole new way of enjoying television content, bringing a multitude of channels and entertainment options directly to your home screen. One popular app for accessing IPTV content is SS IPTV, which supports a variety of devices, including Android, Android-based devices, and a range of Smart TVs. Getting started with IPTV on SS IPTV is a simple process, and you’ll be streaming your favorite shows and movies in no time.
To set up IPTV on SS IPTV, all you need is the appropriate playlist file containing channel information and a compatible device. The app offers straightforward methods for uploading your playlist, allowing you to either use a link to an external playlist or upload a playlist file with a non-permanent access code. Once you’ve set up your playlist file, and added it to the app, you can start enjoying a world of IPTV content right at your fingertips.
Downloading and Installing SS IPTV
On Android Devices
To install SS IPTV on Android devices, users can simply search for “SS IPTV” in the Google Play Store and download the app. Once the app is installed, open it and follow the on-screen instructions to configure your IPTV playlist.
Alternatively, you can also install the SS IPTV APK file manually. First, download the APK file from a trusted source. Next, enable “Unknown Sources” in the Android settings to allow installation of apps from sources other than the Play Store. Now, locate the downloaded APK file and tap on it to start the installation process. Upon completion, launch the SS IPTV app and set up your IPTV playlist.
On Smart TVs
Installing SS IPTV on a Smart TV varies depending on the TV’s operating system. For Samsung Smart TVs running on Tizen (2015-2019 models), download the ssiptv_tizen_usb.zip archive and unzip its content to the root folder of a USB stick. Insert the USB stick into one of the TV’s USB ports, and the installation process should start automatically.
On Amazon Firestick
To install SS IPTV on an Amazon Firestick, first, navigate to the Amazon App Store and search for “Downloader”, an app that helps download files directly to the device. Install the Downloader app and launch it.
Next, navigate to “Settings” on your Firestick, go to “My Fire TV” or “Device”, and then to “Developer Options”. Here, enable “Apps from Unknown Sources” to allow the installation of SS IPTV.
Now, use the Downloader app to enter the URL of the SS IPTV APK file from a trusted source, then download and install it on your Firestick. Once the installation is complete, launch SS IPTV and configure your IPTV playlist.
Preparing IPTV Playlist
Creation of M3U Playlist
Creating an M3U playlist is an essential step for streaming IPTV channels on the SS IPTV application. An M3U playlist is a simple text document that contains URLs of multimedia files. The playlist must meet the Extended M3U specification, providing detailed information about the file’s structure in each entry. To create an M3U playlist, you can use any text editor, such as Notepad or Sublime Text. Include each channel URL in a separate line, following the guidelines as found in About M3U.
Adding Playlists to SS IPTV
Once you’ve created your M3U playlist, you’ll need to add it to the SS IPTV application. There are two methods for uploading your playlist into the app:
- Uploading by link (external playlists): To add a playlist using this method, you’ll need to have your M3U playlist file hosted on a server and accessible via a URL. In the SS IPTV settings, use the “Add playlist” option, then input the M3U link directly. For more information, see the document on how to upload playlists.
- Uploading with a non-permanent access code (internal playlists): Another way to add a playlist is by using a non-permanent access code, which is valid for 24 hours or until a new code is generated. Go to the General subsection of the app’s settings and press “Get Code.” Follow the instructions for uploading the playlist with the generated code. Detailed steps can be found on the SS IPTV support page.
Both methods allow the addition of multiple playlists to SS IPTV, providing a variety of IPTV channels to enjoy streaming. By regularly updating the M3U playlist, you can ensure access to the latest content and maintain uninterrupted IPTV service.
Setting Up SS IPTV on Different Smart TVs
On Samsung Smart TV
To set up SS IPTV on a Samsung Smart TV, first, check if your TV model is a non-Tizen or Tizen TV. For non-Tizen TVs, download the SS IPTV widget zip file and extract it. Rename the extracted folder to “ssiptv” and move it to your USB drive. Insert the USB drive into your TV’s USB port, and the app will be installed automatically. For Tizen Smart TVs, you will need to use an alternative app called Smart IPTV as SS IPTV is not available in the app store.
On LG Smart TV
Setting up SS IPTV on an LG Smart TV is simple. Navigate to the LG Content Store on your TV. Search for “SS IPTV” and install the app. Once installed, open SS IPTV and follow the on-screen instructions to add your IPTV playlist. You can add the playlist using a link or by uploading it with a non-permanent access code.
On Sony Smart TV
For Sony Smart TVs running Android, head to the Google Play Store and search for “SS IPTV.” Install the app and open it to configure your IPTV playlist. If your Sony TV runs on a non-Android platform, you can use alternative IPTV apps like Smart IPTV or OttPlayer to enjoy IPTV content.
Utilizing USB for SS IPTV
Transferring Playlist to USB
To utilize a USB stick for SS IPTV, you first need to transfer your IPTV playlist to the USB device. Connect the USB stick to your computer, and make sure it is properly recognized. Locate the IPTV playlist file on your computer, usually with an extension .m3u or .m3u8. Copy the playlist file to the root folder of your USB stick. It’s important to have the file at the root directory for easy detection and compatibility with the SS IPTV app. Once the file is copied, safely eject the USB stick from your computer.
Connecting USB to Smart TV
After transferring the playlist to the USB stick, you need to connect it to one of the USB ports on your Smart TV. Make sure the TV is turned on before plugging the USB stick into the TV. After connecting the USB stick, the Smart TV should recognize the device and display a pop-up notification or list the USB stick in its content browsing menu.
Open the SS IPTV applicationwhich should be installed on your Smart TV. If you have not already installed SS IPTV, you can follow the installation process outlined on their official website. Once the app is open, navigate to the “Settings” or “Playlist” section, where you will find options for uploading your IPTV playlist.
There are two methods to upload your playlist: using a direct link (external playlist) or by using a non-permanent access code (internal playlist). Since you have the playlist on your USB stick, select the option for uploading via a USB-connected device. The SS IPTV app then searches for the playlist file saved on your USB stick.
Once the playlist is found and uploaded to SS IPTV, you can now enjoy watching the IPTV channels. Remember to safely remove the USB stick when not in use to prevent damage to the device or potential data loss.
