The LG Content Store

LG's Content Store carries a somewhat wider range of streaming apps than Samsung's equivalent, but dedicated IPTV player apps still aren't guaranteed to be available depending on your specific WebOS version and region.

Setting Up IPTV on LG WebOS

Search the LG Content Store for IPTV Smarters or similar players first. If found, installation and login with your Xstream 4K IPTV credentials or M3U link works the same as on any other smart TV platform.

If the App Isn't Listed on Your LG TV

As with Samsung, plugging a Firestick, Fire TV Cube, or Chromecast into an HDMI port sidesteps the built-in app store entirely and is the most consistent option regardless of your specific WebOS version — see our LG TV troubleshooting guide if you're seeing specific playback errors rather than an availability issue.

Keeping WebOS Updated Matters

Like Samsung's Tizen, LG's WebOS Content Store availability shifts with system updates — checking Settings > General > About This TV > Check for Updates periodically, and re-checking the Content Store afterward, is worth doing if an IPTV app wasn't available on your first attempt.

Availability depends on the WebOS version — a separate streaming device plugged into HDMI is the reliable fallback if nothing is available in the Content Store.
App availability can change with WebOS updates, so it's worth periodically re-checking the Content Store even if nothing was available initially.
Older WebOS versions have more limited app support — a companion streaming device is the more reliable option on older LG TVs.
Neither guarantees full IPTV app availability — both platforms are more curated than Android-based TVs, so a plug-in streaming device is a common workaround for both.
