Step-by-Step Guide: How to Install Smartiflix on LG Smart TV
Phase 1: Preparing Your LG TV (Developer Mode)
Because LG TVs use a closed system, you need to enable “Developer Mode” to allow the installation of premium streaming players.
- Power on your LG Smart TV and ensure it’s connected to High-Speed Internet.
- Go to Settings > All Settings > General.
- Select About This TV and look for webOS TV SDK.
- Repeatedly click this option 5–7 times until the Developer Mode prompt appears.
- Enter a passphrase (like 0000) to activate the developer settings.
Phase 2: Manual Installation via USB
Since webOS doesn’t natively run APKs, follow this method to “sideload” the Smartiflix interface.
- Download the Setup Files: Visit the Smartiflix official website on your PC and download the LG-compatible installation package.
- Prepare USB: Format a USB drive to FAT32. Create a folder named
userwidgetand paste the downloaded files inside. - Connect to TV: Plug the USB into the port on the back of your LG Smart TV.
- Install: Open the LG Content Store and search for a File Manager or USB Installer app. Navigate to your USB, select the Smartiflix file, and click Install.
Method 2: Installing via LG Content Store (Official)
If you prefer a simpler route, you can download a compatible media player directly from the official store.
- Open the App Store: Press the Home button on your LG remote and navigate to the Apps section (or LG Content Store on older models).
- Log In (Required): To download apps, ensure you are logged into your LG account. You can do this by clicking the Profile icon at the top right of the screen.
- Search for the App: Click the Search icon and type “Smarters Player Lite” or “Smartiflix Player”.
- Note: Smarters Player Lite is the most widely compatible official reader for these services.
- Install: Select the app from the results and click the Install button. You can view the file size and your available free space on this screen.
- Access the Player: Once installed, launch the app. On the home screen, select “Login with Xtream Codes API”.

Troubleshooting Tips for LG Users
- App Not Appearing? Ensure your LG Account Sign-in is active. Some apps require a verified account to download.
- Buffering Issues? We recommend an Ethernet connection for 4K VOD content to ensure maximum stability.
- Login Error? Double-check your Portal URL. Even a small typo will prevent a connection to the Smartiflix servers.
