IPTV Smarters on an LG TV: when the app is missing or stops working
Many people know IPTV Smarters from their phone or a streaming stick and then look for it in the LG Content Store – and can’t find it, or it suddenly stops working. Here’s what may be behind it, what you can check yourself and how to keep using your login.
Nightdeck is a player only. It contains no channels, movies or shows and doesn’t arrange providers. Only use it with sources you’re entitled to – for example cable TV through your own tvheadend server, your own media server or a licensed service you pay for.
Why an app may be missing from the LG Content Store
Which apps the LG Content Store shows depends, among other things, on the country set on the TV and on the model and webOS version. Developers also decide themselves which countries and models they offer an app for, and they can update or withdraw apps. So if an app is missing on your TV, there can be several reasons.
We can’t say why IPTV Smarters is missing on a particular TV or whether it will come back – only its developer knows for sure. We advise against installation files from unofficial sources.
The app opens but nothing loads?
If the app still opens but shows no channels, the cause is often not the app but the login: it has expired, the server address has changed or the provider won’t allow another connection right now. In that case another player won’t help either. Check first:
- Is your login still valid? The expiry date is usually in your provider’s customer account.
- Are the server address, port, username and password still correct?
- Is the same login running on another device right now? Many logins only allow one connection at a time.
- Does the TV have internet? Restarting the TV and router solves a surprising number of problems.
When you connect an Xtream Codes login, Nightdeck shows when it expires and how many connections it allows, if the server reports it – so you can spot an expired login quickly.
Your options
- Use another IPTV player for webOS. There are several players in the LG Content Store; which ones depends on your country and model. Make sure it supports your provider’s login type – Xtream Codes or M3U.
- Plug in a streaming stick. With a device running Android TV, Google TV or Fire OS on an HDMI port, you can use the apps from its app store.
- Nightdeck. An IPTV player built for webOS itself, from webOS 4 (2018 models on). Nightdeck has been submitted to the LG Content Store and will appear there once LG has approved it. On Fire TV, Android TV, Google TV, Mac and Windows (beta) you can use it right now.
Your login details come along
An Xtream Codes login (server address, username, password) or an M3U playlist via link doesn’t belong to a particular app. You can connect with the same details in any player that supports these formats – Nightdeck included. Favourites, sort orders and settings from another app can’t be carried over, though.
Not supported in Nightdeck: portals that log in with a MAC address (Stalker portals), RTSP streams and playlist files without a link.
Step by step
Install Nightdeck
Nightdeck has been submitted to the LG Content Store and will appear there once LG has approved it. Then open the LG Content Store on your TV, search for Nightdeck and install it. You need webOS 4 or newer.
Choose the login type
On first launch Nightdeck greets you with “Welcome to Nightdeck.” Choose “Xtream login” for server address, username and password, or “M3U playlist” for a playlist link.
Enter your details
Enter the same details you used before. The easiest way is with your phone: scan the QR code under “Set up with your phone” and type there.
Connect and try it
“Connect” checks the login and loads channels, movies and shows. The first 3 days are free and fully unlocked – enough time to see whether Nightdeck suits you.

Frequently asked questions
Why can’t I find IPTV Smarters in the LG Content Store?
What the LG Content Store offers depends, among other things, on the country set, the model and the webOS version, and developers can withdraw apps. Only the developer of IPTV Smarters knows its current status.
Will my current login work in Nightdeck?
If it’s an Xtream Codes login or an M3U playlist with a link, yes – those are general formats. Portals that log in with a MAC address aren’t supported.
Are my favourites carried over?
No. You set up favourites again in Nightdeck; they’re stored separately per playlist.
Is Nightdeck in the LG Content Store yet?
Not yet: Nightdeck has been submitted to the LG Content Store and will appear there once LG has approved it. For Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV with Fire OS, Mac and Windows (beta) you can get Nightdeck right now – see How to get Nightdeck.
Are channels or movies included?
No. Nightdeck is a player only. You need your own source that you’re entitled to use.
