How to Use GSE Smart IPTV on FireStick

This section will guide you on how to use the GSE Smart IPTV app on your FireStick. If you’re still unsure how to access the app, refer to the previous section. When you launch the GSE Smart IPTV app for the first time on FireStick, you’ll see a Permission Required prompt. Simply click OK to proceed.

1. Allow Permissions: Next, a prompt will appear at the bottom of the screen asking for permission. Click Allow to grant the necessary permissions.
2. Accept the Terms of Use: You’ll then be presented with the End User License Agreement (EULA) and disclaimers. Click AGREE to continue.
3. Main Window: Once you’ve accepted the terms, you’ll be taken to the main window of the GSE Smart IPTV app.

Exploring the Menu Options

The left-hand menu contains several categories. Let’s take a look at the options under the LOCAL category first:

• Local Playlists: This allows you to add playlists stored in your FireStick’s local storage.
• Android Local Media: This option lets you play videos, music, and other media directly from your local storage, without the need to add playlists.
• Upload Playlist with FTP: This feature enables you to download playlists directly from an FTP server.
• Mode: You can switch between mobile and TV modes. Usually, the app detects the device type automatically, but you can manually adjust it if necessary.

Next, let’s look at the REMOTE category:

Remote Playlists:

• To add a playlist, click Remote Playlists and then press the + icon at the top.
• Choose Add M3U URL (or ADD JSON URL) when prompted.
• Enter the required details and click Add to complete the process.

• Here, you can import M3U and/or JSON playlists from the internet. If you have an IPTV subscription that supports these formats, you’ll need to enter the playlist URL. Most IPTV providers offer M3U links for playlists.

Xtream-Codes API

• To use this, click Xtream-Codes API in the left menu, then click the + icon on the next screen.
• Enter your details in the pop-up window and click Add.

• If you have an Xtream-Codes API, you can use that to import your playlist, as the URLs tend to be long and difficult to enter manually. However, note that due to recent actions against Xtream-Codes, this feature might not work as expected.

EPG Program Guide:

• To add an EPG, click EPG Program Guide from the left menu, then press the + icon at the top.
• You can either click Add Local EPG Source to select an EPG file from your device storage or Add Remote EPG Source to add an EPG URL.
• The EPG Program Guide option allows you to import the EPG (Electronic Program Guide) either from a local file or via a URL. Many IPTV providers that offer M3U playlists also provide an EPG link.

Adding an External Player for Better Playback

While the GSE Smart IPTV app has a built-in player, you can enhance your viewing experience by using an external player like MX Player.

• To set this up, click External Player in the left menu on the main screen of the GSE Smart IPTV app.
• Click the + icon at the top.
• In the pop-up, select Find, and the app will list all available media players.
• Choose your preferred media player (e.g., MX Player) and click Add to complete the setup.

Now you’re all set to enjoy your IPTV content on your FireStick using GSE Smart IPTV!
