GSE Smart IPTV supports two ways to add your IPTV subscription: the Xtream-Codes API (recommended: movies, series and the TV guide load better) and M3U playlist links. This guide shows both methods step by step, on Firestick, Android TV and Android.
Method 1: Activate GSE Smart IPTV With Xtream Codes

On the GSE Smart IPTV home screen, select Xtream-Codes API in the menu on the left.
The list shows a Sample Xtream-Codes api. Move up to the + button.
Step 2: Long-Press the + Button

Step 3: Enter Your Xtream Codes and Select ADD
- Any name: a name for your playlist.
- Server URL: the server from your provider, with http:// and the port if your provider gave one, for example:
http://yourserver.com:8000- username and password: exactly as your provider sent them.
- EPG Time shift: leave 0. Tick Auto Update to update the TV guide every day.
- Select ADD.
Step 4: Open Your Playlist
Your playlist appears in the list. Select it to open it.
The first time, GSE Smart IPTV shows two tips: you can hide channel groups you don’t watch with the eye buttons next to LIVE and VOD. Select >, then OK.

Select + (Long click for menu) and hold OK for 2 seconds.
Step 3: Select Add M3U URL
Step 4: Enter a Name and Your M3U Link, Then Select ADD
Type a Playlist name, then paste the full M3U link from your provider in playlist link. It usually looks like this:
http://yourserver.com:8080/get.php?username=XXXX&password=XXXX&type=m3u_plus&output=ts

Using a VPN? Use Your Provider’s VPN DNS
If GSE Smart IPTV stops working when your VPN is on, replace the server with your provider’s VPN DNS. It comes with your IPTV login details and always starts with vpn.
Example: VPN DNS for Xtream Codes and M3U
Xtream Codes server URL:
http://vpn.dream-4k.coM3U link:
http://vpn.dream-4k.co/get.php?username=YOUR_USERNAME&password=YOUR_PASSWORD&type=m3u_plus&output=tsGSE Smart IPTV Playlist Not Working? Quick Fixes
- LIVE and VOD show 0: check the server URL, username and password (they are case-sensitive), and that your subscription is active.
- Use http://, not https:// in the server URL and the M3U link.
- Xtream Codes: put only the server URL (with the port) in the server field, not the full M3U link.
- Movies and series missing with M3U: use Xtream Codes instead.
- No TV guide: select INSTALL EPG DATA, or tick Auto Update in the playlist settings.
- The + button doesn’t open a menu: hold OK for 2 seconds instead of a short press.
