How to Install IPTV on an LG Smart TV (webOS) — 2026 Guide
Want to watch IPTV on your LG Smart TV? If it runs webOS, all you need is a good player app. This guide walks you through installing MaxPlayer from the LG Content Store, adding your playlist, and fixing the most common issues, in just a few minutes.
MaxPlayer is an IPTV player — it plays your own content. It does not include or sell channels, streams or subscriptions. You bring your IPTV playlist (M3U or Xtream Codes) and MaxPlayer plays it.
What you'll need
- An LG Smart TV with webOS (2018 or newer)
- An active internet connection (wired or Wi-Fi)
- Your IPTV playlist — an M3U URL or Xtream Codes login from your provider
- A MaxPlayer subscription (a 7-day free trial is included)
Step 1 — Install MaxPlayer from the LG Content Store
- Press the Home button on your LG Magic Remote.
- Open the LG Content Store.
- Use the search and type MaxPlayer.
- Select the app and choose Install, then Launch.
MaxPlayer is a native webOS app, so it runs smoothly with no sideloading required.
Step 2 — Register and start your free trial
The first time you open MaxPlayer you'll see a device code. Register your account (a 7-day free trial is included), link the device, and you're ready to add your playlist.
Step 3 — Add your IPTV playlist
MaxPlayer supports the two most common formats:
- M3U / M3U8 URL — paste the playlist link from your provider.
- Xtream Codes API — enter the server URL, username and password.
You can add up to 5 lists to one account and switch between them in the app settings. Once your list loads, your channels, VOD, series and EPG (TV guide) appear automatically.
What you get on LG webOS
- Native webOS application
- Full EPG / TV Guide
- VOD and Series streaming
- Catch-up TV / Timeshift
- Multi-language interface
- Parental controls and custom themes
Troubleshooting
Playlist won't load? Double-check the M3U URL or Xtream credentials for typos, and make sure the list is still active with your provider.
Buffering? Test your connection speed, prefer a wired connection for 4K, and try switching your list from M3U to the Xtream Codes API (or the other way around).
TV guide (EPG) empty? Some providers deliver EPG separately — confirm your provider includes EPG data for your list.
