IPTV Viewing via OTTPlayer (If No Alternatives Available)
We recommend using this app only as a backup option in extreme cases when there are no other alternatives. The downsides of the app include:
Lack of support from developers.
Frequent issues with the app itself.
No support for external EPG sources (its own EPG is incomplete, missing on most channels, which means archives and time-shift won’t work on such channels).
To watch IPTV on your Samsung Smart TV using the OTTPlayer app, you need to register on the player's website: ottplayer.tv. After registering on the site, go to https://ottplayer.tv/soft/samsung and follow the short instructions for installing the player.

Once the player is installed on the TV, launch the OttPlayer widget on your TV, go to the player's settings, and enter the registration details from the ottplayer.tv website.

After that, go back, and the player will prompt you to create a New Device. Confirm by pressing OK on the player's screen. Set a name for your device.

Then, log into your personal account on the OTTPlayer website, add the auto-updating playlist link from the billing system to the Playlists section, or upload the playlist file. You can give the playlist any name. In the Devices section, select All Devices, and don’t forget to enable the archive support option.

If you are adding an auto-updating playlist, make sure to specify the update frequency in the settings. Due to the nature of the player, new channels added to the package will appear at the top of your channel list.
