Extract embedded server URL from custom Smarters apk

by Paul-Van-DeDam

Today my service provider changed my user/pass at an extra cost I might add due to the current service frequently failing. I was previously using Tivimate to watch the service which up until just recently was working great.

I am now forced into using a custom version of Smarters which is awful and the menus are very laggy, I’m not at all satisfied with Smarters and having asked for the server URL to put the new service on Tivimate was refused with the quote hiding the address is to protect the server 🤔 other than ask for a refund and find a new provider I’m now stuck with a service that is less than satisfactory.

Can I extract the server url somehow so I can go back to using Tivimate?

Open any channel from within smarters with MX player, go to settings > tools > properties and under file path you will see the server address and port along with your username and password. Use those in tivimate.

If channels are still not playing in tivimate, change user-agent to "IPTVSmartersPlayer" in settings > general.

The "security" excuse is hilarious when it takes 5 seconds to get the fqdn of the server. The only people who can't get it that way certainly aren't the ones they need "security" from.

Use an external player if possible (vlc), you can then extract the source URL from there.

You can try using a firewall like adguard or netguard
