iPhone or iPad — full setup

The easiest device to set up, because you can paste instead of type.

1. Install a player

Open the App Store and install one of:

• IPTV Smarters Player (sometimes listed as *Smarters Player Lite*) — free
• GSE Smart IPTV — free, more settings
• Flex IPTV — small one-off charge

Apple removes and re-lists these apps regularly. If the one you want is not there, install whichever of the three you can find — they all take the same details.

2. Add your subscription (IPTV Smarters)

1. 1Open the app and choose Login with Xtream Codes API.
2. 2Any name: Canalus
3. 3Username: your username
4. 4Password: your password
5. 5URL: your server address
6. 6Tap Add User.

Tap and hold each field, then Paste — every value above has a copy button next to it. Do not retype them; a single wrong character produces "wrong username or password".

2b. GSE Smart IPTV

1. 1Open GSE → the ☰ menu → Xtream Codes API.
2. 2Tap + → fill in the same three values → Add.

3. Watch on the big TV

• AirPlay: start a channel, tap the AirPlay icon, choose your Apple TV or AirPlay-compatible TV.
• Cable: a Lightning- or USB-C-to-HDMI adapter mirrors the screen and is more stable than AirPlay on a busy Wi-Fi.

4. Two iOS-specific notes

• Low Power Mode throttles video. If playback stutters only on your phone, check the battery setting first.
• iOS pauses the stream when you lock the screen. That is Apple, not the subscription. Use the app's picture-in-picture button if you want it to keep playing while you use another app.

It still does not work

• "Wrong username or password" — the details are case-sensitive and there is no space at the end. Use the copy button above instead of typing them. Full checklist
• "Maximum connections reached" — someone else is watching. How to fix it
• The picture freezes — start here
• Channels are missing — start here

If none of that helps, run the troubleshooter in your account. It checks your actual subscription first, which is faster than describing the problem to us.
