GSE Smart IPTV Pro
iPhone, iPad & Apple TV Setup and Review

GSE Smart IPTV — sold on the App Store as GSE SMART IPTV PRO by droidvision (GSE Technology Ltd) — is an IPTV player for iPhone and iPad, with a separate Apple TV app. Like every player, it ships with no channels: you add your own Xtream Codes login or M3U playlist. The App Store listing covers AirPlay to an external display, Chromecast, parental controls and live TV recording.

1. 1

   Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad

   Make sure you are signed into your Apple ID — GSE SMART IPTV PRO is a paid app (£2.99), so you will be asked to confirm the purchase.

2. 2

   Search for "GSE Smart IPTV"

   The listing is "GSE SMART IPTV PRO" and the seller is droidvision (GSE Technology Ltd). Several lookalike apps put "GSE" in their names — skip any that are free with subscriptions or from a different developer.

3. 3

   Tap the £2.99 price button to buy and download

   It is a one-off purchase, not a subscription. The Apple TV app is bought separately — see the Apple TV section below.

4. 4

   Open the app and accept the terms if prompted

   GSE Smart IPTV may request access to your local network — allow this for proper functionality on your home Wi-Fi.

1. 1

   Tap the menu icon (≡) in the top-left corner of the app

   On Apple TV, press the menu button or swipe left on the Siri remote trackpad to open the sidebar.

2. 2

   Select "Xtream Codes API" from the menu

   This is the first option in the playlist section of the menu. Do not select "Remote Playlists" — that is for M3U, covered separately below.

3. 3

   Tap the + (plus) icon to add a new playlist

   A form will appear with fields for Playlist Name, Server URL, Username, and Password.

4. 4

   Fill in your Flickhaven credentials

   Enter any Playlist Name you like (e.g. "Flickhaven"). Then enter the exact Server URL, Username, and Password from your Flickhaven credentials — these are sent via WhatsApp after purchase. The Server URL typically starts with http:// and includes a port number.

5. 5

   Tap "Add" — your channels load automatically

   GSE Smart IPTV connects to the server and downloads your full channel list, VOD library, and TV series. This takes 30–90 seconds depending on your connection speed.

6. 6

   Navigate via Live TV, Movies, and Series tabs

   Live TV contains all 55,000+ channels. Movies and Series contain the 180,000+ VOD titles. The TV Guide button opens the EPG — it loads automatically from your Xtream Codes connection.

1. 1

   Open the menu (≡) and tap "Remote Playlists"

2. 2

   Tap the + icon, then select "Add M3U URL"

3. 3

   Enter a Playlist Name and paste your M3U URL

   Your M3U URL comes with your Flickhaven login on WhatsApp. On Xtream-based services it is a get.php address that carries your username and password.

4. 4

   Tap "Add" — channels load within a minute

   The channel list downloads from the server. With 55,000+ channels, the initial load may take a minute or two on slower connections.

1. 1

   Open the menu and tap "EPG Program Guide"

2. 2

   Tap the + icon to add an EPG source

3. 3

   Enter your XMLTV EPG URL

   Your XMLTV EPG URL comes with your Flickhaven login on WhatsApp. On Xtream-based services it is an xmltv.php address that carries your username and password — not the get.php playlist link.

4. 4

   Tap Save — the TV guide populates within a few minutes

   EPG data downloads in the background. After a few minutes, open the TV Guide in GSE to see programme schedules for all channels that have EPG data. Not all 55,000+ channels carry EPG — UK channels are the ones most likely to show full schedules.
