Setup guide
Set up IPTV on Apple TV
Apple TV offers a polished picture and a pleasant remote for watching your Vepix TV subscription. The apps are available directly in the Apple TV App Store; installation takes a few minutes.
What you need
- An Apple TV HD or 4K, with a recent version of tvOS.
- An Apple ID signed in on the device.
- A connection of about 10 Mbps for HD and 25 Mbps for 4K.
- Your Vepix TV login details, received by email.
Which app should I choose?
- GSE Smart IPTV: very complete, accepts Xtream Codes and M3U playlists, with a programme guide. Some features may require an in-app purchase.
- Smarters Player Lite: a simple interface that separates live TV, movies and series, with Xtream Codes login.
Step 1: install the app
- Open the App Store on the Apple TV.
- Go to the search tab and type “GSE Smart IPTV” or “Smarters Player Lite”.
- Select Get, then open the app.
Tip: to enter your login details more easily, use your iPhone’s keyboard. A notification appears on the iPhone when the Apple TV is waiting for text input.
Step 2: add your subscription
In the email containing your Vepix TV login details, you will find two ways to connect: an M3U link and Xtream Codes details (server address, username and password). When the app offers both, choose Xtream Codes: the programme guide and content categories are loaded automatically. The details are explained in M3U link or Xtream Codes: what’s the difference?
With GSE Smart IPTV
- Open the app and accept the terms.
- Open the menu, then the Xtream Codes API section.
- Add an account with the + button: a name (“Vepix TV”), the server address, the username and the password.
- Save, then select the account to load the channels.
To use the M3U link, go to the Remote playlists section instead and paste the link.
With Smarters Player Lite
- Open the app.
- Choose the Xtream Codes API login.
- Enter a name of your choice, the username, the password and the server address.
- Confirm: the home screen shows live TV, movies and series.
Tips for smooth playback
- If your Apple TV model has an Ethernet port, connect it to your router with a cable: it is the most stable connection.
- On Wi-Fi, connect to the 5 GHz network.
- If the picture hesitates, choose HD rather than 4K for that programme.
Common problems
The connection is refused
Check the server address (with http:// and the port, if any) and the capital letters in the username and password. See M3U or Xtream Codes: common errors.
The programme guide is empty
With Xtream Codes, the guide loads automatically after a few minutes. With an M3U link, you sometimes need to add a separate EPG link.
