From siptv.app and its LG instructions, checked 5 October 2026.
Install it
- On the TV, press Home and open LG’s app store (Apps on newer models, LG Content Store on older ones).
- Search for Smart IPTV. Smart IPTV’s instructions say it’s in the store’s Entertainment category in your country.
- Select Install, then open it. The app shows its MAC address or device ID on screen: write it down exactly.
If your TV runs NetCast or webOS 1.0–2.0, siptv.app lists the older version 2.1.56 for those models. See IPTV on an LG TV to check which system you have.
Upload your playlist
- On a phone or computer, open the playlist upload page on siptv.app.
- Enter the MAC address or device ID exactly as the TV shows it. Smart IPTV notes that newer webOS versions use a device ID because the app can’t read the MAC address.
- Add your playlist as a link or file, set the guide options and send it.
- Press 0 on the remote, or restart the app, to load it.
Every option on the upload page is explained in upload a playlist to Smart IPTV. After the trial, activation is a one-time fee per TV; see Smart IPTV activation.

What plays, and what doesn’t
- Streams: HTTP and HLS links play on webOS. UDP (multicast), RTP, RTMP and RTSP links don’t, according to the LG instructions.
- Audio language: the app picks the stream’s audio language from the TV’s own Audio Language setting (first audio language), so set that to the language you want.
Problems on LG
