SS IPTV: Simple, Smart TV Software

Ever wondered how a playlist editor and a single pairing code could change how we stream and organize our video content? We set out to answer that and show a fast, reliable path to better playback on our smart tvs and other devices.

In this section we explain how the app used a code in the device settings to link the Playlist Editor. That link lets us drag-and-drop items, set a Logo URL, choose audio tracks, and map metadata for a clean viewing experience.

The guide covers supported formats like Extended M3U, special directives such as #EXTBG and #EXTCTRL, and platform steps for LG, Samsung, Sony, and Philips. We also note browser tools and a Chrome extension that help pull video links from common sites.

We promise concise, step-by-step actions you can follow in the United States, plus a fun bonus: a quick crockpot chicken and dumplings idea that uses Red Lobster biscuits for a tasty twist. Follow this section to get playlists styled and ready in under an hour.

Key Takeaways

We link the Playlist Editor via a pairing code to manage lists and metadata.
Extended M3U and extra directives allow tailored tiles and behavior.
Platform-specific installs include LG, Samsung, Sony, and Philips steps.
Browser tools and an extension retrieve video links for smoother playback.
Instructions are transactional: what to tap, where to click, and what to expect.
By the end, our setup will stream reliably and stay organized.

Quick Start: What We Need Before We Install and Stream

First, we verify network and hardware details to speed up pairing and content uploads.

Check network and devices: we ensure the home network is stable and that the TV and our upload device are on the same subnet. This keeps pairing and video tests reliable.

Confirm model and platform: we note the exact model year and platform for our smart tvs so we follow the right install path. For Sony non-Android units, Hotel/Pro mode needs the Startup Application URI set to http://app.ss-iptv.com.

Prepare USB media: we format the usb flash drive to FAT32 when required and extract files to the proper root folder. Examples: D:\userwidget\ for Tizen and D:\ssiptv\ for some Samsung cases.

Generate the Connection Code in the app settings to pair with the Playlist Editor.
Keep a UTF-8 M3U file ready; use duration 0 or -1 for live channels and include attributes like tvg-name.
Make a checklist with model, folder names, root path, and remote button actions to press during install.

Platform	Required Root Folder	Format	Notes
Samsung (Tizen)	userwidget	FAT32 / NTFS OK	Place extracted files at D:\userwidget\; verify remote options.
Samsung (non-Tizen)	ssiptv	FAT32 preferred	Use D:\ssiptv\ root; ensure file structure is exact.
Sony (non-Android)	package root	FAT32 required	Hotel/Pro mode sequence needed; set Startup Application URI.

Install and Launch on Popular Smart TVs

This part covers the hands-on install flow we followed to put the application on each brand and confirm playback.

Samsung E / F / H series

We signed into a developer account on our samsung smart tvs (login: develop; some required sso1029dev!), opened Smart Features, and navigated to IP Settings. We set the IP to 91.122.100.196 and used the button sequence to start synchronization until the application appeared.

Samsung J series (USB)

We formatted a flash drive to FAT32, created a userwidget folder at the root, and copied the package without changing paths. After we insert usb flash into the set, installation started automatically. The alternate ssiptv folder method let us open the app from More Apps in Smart Hub.

LG, Sony, and Philips notes

On LG we used LG Smart World when possible or ran the package from a flash drive (Tizen: D:\userwidget\, non-Tizen: D:\ssiptv\). We always kept folder names exact so the menu detected the file.

For Sony non-Android, we enabled Hotel/Pro mode with the precise press sequence, set Startup Application URI to http://app.ss-iptv.com, and turned on autostart. We prepared a FAT32 flash drive with the sony folder at the root and rebooted so the application launched automatically.

Philips and some sony smart models were beta; we launched via the TV browser at app.ss-iptv.com, noting some features were less reliable. After each install we tested a short video and a channel to confirm the link and play flow worked.

SS IPTV – Simple, Smart TV – Software: Playlists, Channels, and Settings

Here we show how to pair the Editor, add streams, and arrange a channel list that loads fast.

We generate the Connection Code in settings on the set and paste it into the editor on our computer. Once paired we add items by link or file and use drag-and-drop to reorder the list for quick access.

Displayed Name vs Standardized Name

We set a Displayed Name when we want custom titles on screen. We use Standardized Name to map logos and EPG data so the player finds correct artwork and guides.

M3U and Extended M3U basics

Author files in UTF-8 with #EXTM3U at the top and paired #EXTINF lines. For live channels we set duration to 0 or -1 and include attributes like tvg-name, tvg-logo, and audio-track.

Player-only enhancements and organization

We improve tiles with directives such as #EXTBG, #EXTSIZE, and #EXTCTRL. Add description and content-type on #EXTINF or set defaults at the top to apply across the file.

We keep related channels in a single folder at the root before export. To edit fast, press the Pencil button in the editor, adjust logo URL, size, or audio, then press Save so the application refreshes the list.

Import external lists, validate content types, then save or download backups.
Test a mix of VOD video and live streams to confirm audio-track and aspect-ratio handling.

Play From the Browser and Optimize Streaming

A Chrome extension let us move videos from web pages into the playlist without manual URL copying. We installed SS Play from the Chrome Web Store, opened the application on the set, and used Get Code in settings to pair devices.

Pairing supports two modes. Full connection opens the app and starts one-click play on LG webOS and Samsung Tizen tvs. Partial connection simply adds retrieved links to the device playlist for other models.

Sending videos from VK, YouTube, and Yandex Disk

We opened a video page, clicked the extension icon, and chose Add to playlist or Play. For VK the PC and set must be on the same network and VK links expired within 24 hours.

For Yandex Disk we created a Share link, then used the extension to add or play the video. Always verify file permissions before you push content.

Advanced instructions and source rules

Instructions let us extract links using name, source, and logo rules. We restricted rules by Domain to avoid accidental scraping.

The functions we used included isEmpty, title, url, replace, match, httpGet, xpath, urldecode, and getJSONValue. XPath and JSON parsing proved reliable for complex pages.

Action	When to use	Result
Add device (Get Code)	First setup in settings	Pairs browser and player
Full connection	LG webOS, Samsung Tizen	One-click play & app launch
Partial connection	Other models (default)	Links added to list for later play

Bonus tip for users

While the crockpot ran, we finished list tweaks. For quick Chicken and Dumplings use four ingredients: chicken breasts, cream of chicken soup, chicken stock, and refrigerated biscuit dough.

Cook on low until the chicken is tender, then tear biscuits into the pot and simmer. Our secret twist: use Red Lobster Cheddar Bay biscuit mix for richer flavor.

Conclusion

Conclusion

We close with a short checklist so you can verify install and start a video quickly. Confirm model and settings, paste the correct IP or URI, and test that the application will play on first launch. When supported, pairing lets us press one button to start playback; on other sets we add links and then press the play control.

Always extract files to the exact root on a usb flash drive or flash drive. Follow the Sony Hotel/Pro workflow for autostart and fewer reboots, and test a single channel before large imports.

Bonus: try the 4‑ingredient crockpot Chicken and Dumplings, then add Red Lobster biscuits for a tasty secret twist.

FAQ

What do we need before we install and start streaming?

We check the network connection, TV model, and a compatible USB flash drive. Ensure your router provides stable bandwidth and the smart TV supports app installation or USB launch. For some Samsung models we may need a developer account or an IP server address. Keep a formatted flash drive handy for models that require USB sideloading.

How do we set up on Samsung E, F, H series via developer account and IP server?

We enable developer mode on the Samsung model, register the device with a Samsung developer account, and point the IP server to the app source. That allows installation of the app package and reliable streaming from LAN or internet playlists. Follow on-screen prompts to enter the server address and confirm permissions.

How do we launch on Samsung J series using a USB flash drive?

We copy the userwidget folder and the app-specific folder to the root of a FAT32 flash drive. Insert the drive, navigate to the Apps or Developer menu, and run the package. If prompted, allow permissions and move the app to internal storage for faster loading.

How do we install on LG Smart TVs with Tizen and non-Tizen paths?

For Tizen models we download from LG Smart World or use the developer mode and install via USB if needed. For older non-Tizen LG TVs we use the USB stick method and follow the TV’s app install menu. In all cases we confirm the app runs and has network access in settings.

What about Sony non-Android TVs and Hotel/Pro mode setup?

We use the Hotel/Pro mode to set the Startup Application URI or install via USB package. Enter the URI that points to the app package or local server, then reboot. This forces the app to launch on startup and is useful for managed displays and commercial setups.

Are there special notes for Philips and Sony beta features when launching from a browser?

Yes. Browser-based launches can work but reliability varies by firmware. We recommend using the native app or USB install when possible. Test key features like EPG and logo display because some beta browser paths may omit extended functions.

How do we use the Playlist Editor to manage channels and order?

We generate a connection code in the editor, add items or external links, and use drag-and-drop to reorder channels. The editor supports folders and tags so we organize channels by country, language, or content-type for faster navigation on the TV.

What is the difference between Displayed Name and Standardized Name?

The Displayed Name is the custom title users see; the Standardized Name ties to logos and EPG data. We match standardized names to provider metadata so the correct logo and guide entries appear. Use the editor to rename channels without losing EPG mapping.

How do external playlists and channels work with links and menu options?

We add external playlist URLs (M3U or JSON) via the menu’s add link option. The app supports streams, VOD links, and audio tracks. Some links require time-limited tokens or same-network access, so verify accessibility before saving.

What are the M3U and Extended M3U basics we should know?

We ensure playlists start with #EXTM3U and each entry uses #EXTINF with duration and attributes like tvg-name, tvg-logo, and audio-track. These tags help map titles, logos, and audio streams correctly in the channel list and guide.

What enhancements does the app support beyond standard M3U tags?

We use special tags such as #EXTBG for background images, #EXTSIZE for custom layout hints, and #EXTCTRL for player controls. Descriptions and content-type tags improve categorization. These extras boost the viewing experience when supported by the player.

How do we save, download, and organize folders for faster channel access?

We create folders in the playlist editor and save grouped channels to the device or cloud. Download playlists for offline use and keep commonly used lists at the top. Organizing by country, provider, or genre reduces load times and improves navigation.

How does SS Play extension for Chrome connect and what is partial vs full connection?

We install the browser extension, detect devices on the same network, and establish a connection. Partial connection streams basic links directly; full connection enables remote control and playlist sync. Confirm firewall settings to allow discovery.

Can we send videos from VK, YouTube, and Yandex Disk to the TV?

Yes, when the device and TV share the same network and links permit playback. Time-limited or signed URLs may expire, so generate fresh links when needed. Use the browser or extension to send supported sources for immediate playback.

What advanced scraping and source rules are supported for custom playlists?

We can use XPath, JSON parsing, and custom rules to extract links from web pages. The player supports many functions for automated extraction and mapping. Advanced users should test rules on sample pages and validate output before wide deployment.

Do you have any bonus tips or quick recipes while streaming?

We suggest a simple 4-ingredient crockpot Chicken and Dumplings for easy viewing meals, plus a quick tip to add a Red Lobster biscuit mix twist for extra flavor. Keep ingredients minimal so cooking doesn’t interrupt the stream.
