IPTV on LG Smart TV (webOS): Complete Setup Guide

Looking for the complete walkthrough? Start with the Samsung & LG Smart TV setup guide.
LG Smart TVs run webOS, which, like Samsung's Tizen, doesn't support sideloading Android apps. The setup path is nearly identical to Samsung's, with a few webOS-specific notes.
Step 1: Install Smart IPTV or SS IPTV from the LG Content Store
Both apps are available on webOS. If your LG TV is running an older webOS version, SS IPTV tends to have broader backward compatibility.
Step 2: Get your MAC address
Open the app to display its assigned MAC address on screen.
Step 3: Activate with support
Send the MAC address to Xtreme HD IPTV support to have your playlist linked.
Step 4: Restart the app
Reopen the app after activation and the channel list and EPG load automatically.
webOS-specific notes
- Older LG TVs (webOS versions before 2018) may have fewer apps available. Check your TV's webOS version in Settings if an app doesn't appear.
- LG's Magic Remote pointer navigation works fine within these apps, though a standard directional remote is often faster for channel-list scrolling.
