Why switch to Sidstuga

Do this in Sidstuga

Find your playlist in IPTV Smarters

Open IPTV Smarters and go to Settings → Edit Playlist (or long-press the active playlist on the home screen).

Install Sidstuga from Google Play

Open the Play Store on your Android device and search for Sidstuga. Sidstuga is €9.99/year with a 7-day free trial — no card needed to start. Would you rather pay once? There is a €39.99 lifetime licence for the Fire TV and direct Android builds.

Paste the same URL / credentials

On first launch Sidstuga shows an 8-language wizard, then asks you to add a source. Pick Xtream Codes or M3U — whichever matches what you used in Smarters — and paste the same values. Sidstuga validates with the server, downloads the channel list and the EPG (next 24 hours) and you're watching.

If it does not work

  • Make sure you copied the server URL, username and password exactly as they were in IPTV Smarters — extra spaces are a common cause of failed logins.
  • If the channel list looks different from what you remember, check with your IPTV provider that the subscription is still active.
  • Pick the same source type you used before — an Xtream Codes login will not work pasted into the M3U field.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to re-subscribe to my IPTV provider?

No. Your provider subscription is independent of the player. Sidstuga just talks to the same server.

Will favourites and watch history carry over from Smarters?

Smarters stores them locally and doesn't export — so favourites need re-marking once in Sidstuga. After that, the optional encrypted Cloud Sync keeps them aligned across every device.

Does Sidstuga come with channels?

No. Sidstuga is a media player. It does not host, distribute or recommend any streams, and it ships with no content sources of any kind. You bring your own credentials for a service you are independently authorised to use.

Can I keep both apps installed during the trial?

Yes. They don't conflict.
