Choose an IPTV app from the App Store

Best free options for iOS:

GSE Smart IPTV — free, full-featured, M3U/Xtream support
Smarters Player Lite — clean UI, easy login
IPlayTV — paid (~$2.99) but very polished

Open the App Store, search for one of the above, and install.

Open the app and add a playlist

GSE Smart IPTV: tap menu (top-left) → Remote Playlists → tap + → Add M3U URL.

Smarters Player Lite: tap Add New User → Login with Xtream Codes API.

Enter your Lux IPTV credentials

From your activation email:

Playlist name: Lux IPTV
URL (M3U): your full http://... URL
OR Xtream: Server URL + Username + Password

Tap Add / Save. The app loads your library in 20–30 seconds.

If you paste the M3U URL, make sure no extra spaces are added — iOS keyboards sometimes append one.

Optional — enable EPG

Go to the app settings, find EPG / TV Guide, toggle it on. The EPG URL is auto-detected from your Xtream login. First sync ~1 minute.

Start streaming

Pick a category (Live, Movies, Series) and tap any title. Use AirPlay to cast to Apple TV or any AirPlay 2 compatible TV.

Streams cached on device keep playing for ~30 seconds even if the network drops — handy for commute.

Troubleshooting

Common iOS Issues

Most issues are fixed in seconds with the tips below.

App rejects my M3U URL

Re-copy the URL from your email — iOS keyboards sometimes inject a space at the end. Make sure the URL starts with http:// and includes the port.

Video freezes after a few minutes

Switch the player engine in app settings (HLS ↔ VLC ↔ native). Disable low-power mode on your iPhone.

AirPlay shows the app screen, not the video

Use AirPlay "Screen Mirroring" from Control Centre instead of the in-app cast button.

EPG not loading on iOS

GSE: Menu → Schedules → EPG Settings → use the Xtream Codes auto-EPG option. Smarters: Settings → EPG → Reload.
