Can you watch IPTV on a Samsung or LG smart TV with Klyvo Play? Yes — but not through an app installed on the TV itself. Klyvo Play has no app for Samsung Tizen or LG webOS today; both are planned after the TV platforms the app already covers. The simple solution that works now: plug a Fire TV Stick or an Apple TV into an HDMI port of your Samsung or LG TV, install Klyvo Play on it, and you get the full TV interface on your big screen in a few minutes. This guide explains each option, what to buy if you have nothing yet, and how to make the TV remote and picture work well.
Klyvo Play is a player. It provides no channel, film or series: you connect the service you already have and are authorized to use, with its Xtream login or its M3U link.
Is there a Klyvo Play app for Samsung or LG smart TVs?
Not at the moment. Samsung TVs run Tizen and LG TVs run webOS, two systems with their own app stores. Klyvo Play is available on the App Store (iPhone, iPad, Apple TV), on Google Play (Android phones and tablets), on the Amazon Appstore (Fire TV) and as a direct download for Windows. Tizen and webOS are on the roadmap, after the TV platforms; the devices page always shows the current status of each one. We prefer to say it plainly rather than let you search the Samsung or LG store for an app that is not there.
Option 1: a Fire TV Stick on your Samsung or LG TV
The most common choice. A Fire TV Stick plugs straight into an HDMI port and draws power from a USB port or its own adapter. Klyvo Play is on the Amazon Appstore for Fire TV Stick, Fire TV Cube and Fire TV smart TVs, with the same couch-friendly interface as on every TV.
- Plug the Fire TV Stick into a free HDMI port of the TV and select that input.
- Finish the Fire TV setup, then open the Appstore and search for Klyvo Play.
- Install it, open it, and connect your source (Xtream or M3U link) — or use the device codes, see below.

Option 2: an Apple TV connected to the TV
If you already live with an iPhone or iPad, an Apple TV is a comfortable choice: the Siri Remote is precise, and the same Klyvo Play subscription offered through your Apple Account covers iPhone, iPad and Apple TV (details on the pricing page). Connect it with an HDMI cable, install Klyvo Play from the App Store and follow the Apple TV guide.
Option 3: a Windows PC on the TV's HDMI input
Have a laptop or a small Windows 10/11 PC near the TV? Klyvo Play for Windows is a direct download from this site and keeps itself up to date. Connect the PC to the TV with an HDMI cable and you get live TV, films and series on the large screen, with mouse and keyboard to type your details. It is less practical than a stick for everyday zapping, but perfect for occasional use.
Which option should you choose for your smart TV?
- You want the cheapest, simplest set-up: a Fire TV Stick. Pick a recent model with more memory if you plan to use Multi-Live (two live channels at once), which is not available on 1 GB sticks.
- Your household is on iPhone and iPad: an Apple TV, for the remote and one subscription across Apple devices.
- You already have a PC at hand: Windows over HDMI, nothing to buy.
- Your TV runs Google TV or Android TV instead (some Sony, TCL, Hisense or Philips models): the Klyvo Play app for Google Play on TV is coming soon — see IPTV on Google TV.
Connect your playlist without typing on the TV
Whichever device you plug in, Klyvo Play shows two codes on its first screen: an address in MAC format and a Device Key. They are not your hardware's real MAC address; they identify this installation of the app. Sign in to the client portal with them from your phone or computer, add your Xtream login or M3U link there, and the TV picks up the playlist within a few minutes. Your provider or reseller can do it for you if you send them the two codes. Step by step: manage your playlists with your MAC address and Device Key.
What you get on the big screen
Once the stick or box is plugged in, your Samsung or LG TV becomes a full IPTV screen. Klyvo Play's TV interface was designed for the remote, with a side menu, large posters and a focus you can read from the sofa:
- Live TV sorted by category and bouquet, with up to three countries of your choice put first and See all channels for the full list with search.
- A TV guide from your provider's panel, plus catch-up of past programmes when your service supports timeshift.
- Films and series with posters, seasons and episodes, Continue watching and My list.
- Family profiles and a Kids profile that filters adult content, with a parental PIN.
Use your Samsung or LG remote with the stick
Most recent Samsung and LG TVs support HDMI-CEC (called Anynet+ on Samsung and SimpLink on LG). When it is enabled in the TV settings, the TV remote can often control the device plugged into HDMI — handy to navigate menus without juggling two remotes. Support varies by TV model and device, so the remote that comes with the Fire TV Stick or the Apple TV remains the most reliable choice, especially for keys like Play/Pause.
Get the best picture and stream on a smart TV
- Picture format: on TV, Klyvo Play fits the picture to the screen by default. If you see black bars or want to fill the screen, change the Picture format in the player.
- Network: a stick behind the TV can receive weak Wi-Fi. Use 5 GHz Wi-Fi or an Ethernet adapter when possible — see Wi-Fi or Ethernet for IPTV.
- Stream test: Settings → Connection & stream test tells you whether your line handles 4K, HD or SD.
- Formats: the VLC-based engine plays MKV, HEVC/H.265, AVI and Dolby/DTS audio, so you rarely depend on the TV's own decoders.
