Short answer: on a Samsung Smart TV (Tizen), open Smart Hub → Apps, search for IPTV Smarters Pro or another compatible player, install it and sign in with your Xtream Codes details. If Smarters is not listed for your model or region, IBO Player, which its publisher lists for Samsung, or a Fire TV Stick connected by HDMI are reliable alternatives.

What is IPTV Smarters Pro?
IPTV Smarters Pro is an IPTV player: it plays a subscription but contains no channels itself. It is published by an independent developer, not by Strong8K IBO.
You install it on your Samsung TV, enter the details of a compatible subscription such as Strong8K IBO, and your channels, movies and series appear in its menus.
What you need before you start
Having these ready avoids most installation problems.
