Is Roku SmartersPlayer gone?

by Oseri7

Hi, in the morning I used the SmartersPlayer as usual, but I'm just came from work and it's gone from both of my Rokus. Tried to reinstall and got a "The channel code provided is associated with a channel not available in your region" message, is it still available for anyone?

Don't count on roku for watching your iptv. The moment I heard that smarters was available on roku, I immediately knew that it wouldn't be there long. Roku is horrible for iptv/streaming apps, unless all you want to do is watch on legit apps like Netflix. 4k firestick is pretty cheap, works quite well and will allow you to use any streaming app you want.

I feel your pain.

There’s no IPTV apps on Roku - Roku is actively removing apps that relate to IPTV.

They’ll pop up for a bit, then get quickly removed.

I got two Roku’s that I would love to have IPTV on...

Luckily I still have my Shield!

Why not just buy a firestick or Xiaomi Mi box? I never quite understand buying a Roku for that purpose.

I think webcast video app still works. I'm using plex with DVR tuner currently.

I have read that smarters/pro are going to be taken down over next few weeks.best way is to get a dedicated iptv box just for TV. Looks like it's all going underground now. Apps for iptv will no longer be in playstore and if they are still working it will give you a headache.

I also use smartest player and I don’t see it either I have a fire tv stick one of the original ones but I don’t like having to use a extra remote. My tv has the Roku built in so I can use the Roku app to control my tv and also the Roku portion of it I also don’t have a free HDMI port currently because my tv has 2 and one is for my pc and one is for my PS4 so hopefully it gets added back soon

Ah well. Something always comes along 😊

You can play a shorten M3U playlist in the Rokus default media player. You have to edit the playlist and put it on a thumb drive, then plug it into Roku box or TV. Doesn't work on the roku plus.
