IPTV Player for LG Smart TV (webOS)
To watch IPTV on an LG Smart TV you need a player app on the TV and a playlist from your own provider. IPlayerTV is the player. You install it from the LG Content Store, pair it with your account using a 6-digit code, add your M3U URL or Xtream Codes login, and your channels appear on the TV.
Every device gets its own 7-day free trial, and no card is required to start it. Access is per device, so pairing a second TV starts its own trial rather than sharing the first one.
What you need
- An LG Smart TV running webOS 4.0 or newer (2018 models onward)
- The TV connected to the internet
- An M3U playlist URL or Xtream Codes login from your provider
Setting it up
Install IPlayerTV from the LG Content Store
On the TV, open the LG Content Store from the home bar and search for "IPlayerTV". Install it, then launch it from the home row.
If your TV is older than 2018 it may run webOS 3.x, which is below the supported baseline — the app targets webOS 4.0 and newer.
Open the app and note the pairing code
The first time IPlayerTV opens on your LG TV it shows a 6-digit pairing code and a QR code, with a countdown. The code stays valid for about 15 minutes, and the app keeps checking on its own — once you finish the next step it continues by itself.
Enter the code on iplayertv.com/tv/pair
On your phone or computer, go to iplayertv.com/tv/pair and sign in (or create an account). Type in the code. You can also scan the QR code with a phone camera, which opens the same page with the code already filled in.
The LG TV picks up the pairing within a few seconds — there is no need to restart the app.
Add your playlist
IPlayerTV is a player, not a content provider — it ships with no channels. On the dashboard, add the playlist you already have from your provider: either an M3U URL, or an Xtream Codes login (server address, username, password).
The playlist is imported once and cached against your account, so the app opens quickly afterwards rather than re-downloading a large file every time.
Start watching
Back on the LG TV, your channels, films and series appear in the app. Progress, favourites and the last channel you watched are stored on your account, so they follow you to any other device you pair.
What works on webOS specifically
The webOS build is tuned for the Magic Remote and for the D-pad on standard LG remotes: every row scrolls with the arrow keys, Back always returns to where you came from rather than dropping you at the home screen, and the guide is laid out for a screen you are looking at from across the room rather than a phone held at arm's length.
Audio and subtitle tracks switch in place through the TV's built-in video element, so changing language mid-programme does not restart the stream. (The Samsung build takes a different route for the same result — see that page.)
Older LG TVs
LG TVs keep their original browser engine for life — a 2018 set still runs the Chromium 53 engine it shipped with, and it will never receive a newer one. IPlayerTV is built against that baseline deliberately, with a build-time check that fails the release if CSS the old engine cannot run slips into the source.
In practice that means the app behaves the same on a 2018 set as on a 2024 one, rather than working on new TVs and quietly breaking on old ones.

Frequently asked questions
IPlayerTV does not provide, host, resell or index any channels, and it comes with no content of any kind. You supply a playlist you are entitled to use. If you do not already have one, this app is not where you get it.
Any LG Smart TV running webOS 4.0 or newer, which covers models from 2018 onward. Older webOS 3.x sets are below the supported baseline.
Yes. An account can pair as many devices as you like. Access is sold per device, so each one has its own trial and its own subscription, but favourites, progress and playlists are shared across all of them.
No. The playlist lives on your account, not on the device. Pair a new TV and it picks up the same playlist automatically.
