Introduction to NecroIPTV and GSE Smart IPTV
If you’ve been looking into IPTV services, you’ve probably come across both NecroIPTV and GSE Smart IPTV. Many users ask if these two services work together. The short answer is: yes, they do! GSE Smart IPTV is an app that can be used to access NecroIPTV’s content library and streaming services.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through everything you need to know about using GSE Smart IPTV with NecroIPTV. I’ve been setting up IPTV systems for clients for years, and this combo is one that works really well. The setup isn’t complicated, but there are a few things you should know to get the best experience.
What is GSE Smart IPTV?
GSE Smart IPTV is a popular IPTV player application that’s available on multiple platforms. It’s basically a media player designed specifically for IPTV services. The app supports various formats including M3U, M3U+, and XSPF playlists, making it compatible with most IPTV service providers, including NecroIPTV.
The best thing about GSE Smart IPTV is its user-friendly interface and wide range of features. You can organize channels, create favorites, and customize the viewing experience to suit your preferences. It’s available on:
- Android devices (phones, tablets, Android TV boxes)
- iOS devices (iPhones and iPads)
- Apple TV
- Smart TVs
GSE Smart IPTV offers both free and premium versions. The free version has ads and some feature limitations, while the premium version gives you all features without interruptions. For most NecroIPTV users, even the free version works just fine for basic streaming needs.
What is NecroIPTV?
NecroIPTV is an IPTV service provider that offers access to thousands of live TV channels, movies, and on-demand content. They offer various subscription plans with different channel lineups and features.
Some of the main features of NecroIPTV include:
- Extensive channel list with international options
- HD and 4K content
- Sports, news, entertainment, and more
- Video-on-demand library
- Multi-device support
- 24/7 customer service
One thing I’ve noticed when working with clients is that NecroIPTV has better stability than many other providers. Their servers seem to handle peak viewing times better, which means less buffering during popular events or primetime hours.
Compatibility between GSE Smart IPTV and NecroIPTV
Good news! GSE Smart IPTV and NecroIPTV work together seamlessly. You just need to have:
- An active NecroIPTV subscription
- Your NecroIPTV credentials (username and password)
- The GSE Smart IPTV app installed on your preferred device
NecroIPTV provides the content and streaming service, while GSE Smart IPTV acts as the player that displays this content on your device. It’s similar to how Netflix provides content, but you can watch it through different apps or devices.
The compatibility works because NecroIPTV provides standard M3U playlist URLs and/or XML EPG (Electronic Program Guide) URLs that can be easily imported into GSE Smart IPTV. This means you get all the channels and features of your NecroIPTV subscription, but with the user interface and extra features of GSE Smart IPTV.
I’ve helped dozens of people set up this combination, and it’s usually trouble-free if you have the right information from your NecroIPTV subscription.
Setting up GSE Smart IPTV with NecroIPTV
Let’s go through the setup process step by step. It’s pretty simple, but following these exact steps will save you some headaches.
1. Gather Your NecroIPTV Information
Before you start, make sure you have:
- Your NecroIPTV username
- Your NecroIPTV password
- The NecroIPTV server URL (this is usually provided in your welcome email)
If you don’t have this information, you’ll need to contact NecroIPTV customer support.
2. Download and Install GSE Smart IPTV
Download the GSE Smart IPTV app from your device’s app store:
- Google Play Store for Android devices
- Apple App Store for iOS devices
- Amazon App Store for Fire TV devices
The app has a free version that works with ads, or you can purchase the premium version if you prefer an ad-free experience.
3. Configure GSE Smart IPTV with NecroIPTV
Once the app is installed, follow these steps:
- Open GSE Smart IPTV
- Go to “Settings” or the gear icon
- Select “Remote Playlists”
- Click “Add New Playlist”
- Enter a name (e.g., “NecroIPTV”)
- For the URL/File, you have two options:
- Option 1: Enter the NecroIPTV M3U URL (usually like http://server.necroiptv.us:port/get.php?username=YOURUSERNAME&password=YOURPASSWORD&type=m3u_plus)
- Option 2: If you have the option for MAC address authentication, select that option and enter your MAC details
- Click “Add” or “Save”
- Go back to the main menu and select “Remote Playlists”
- Select your newly added NecroIPTV playlist
- The app will load all available channels
4. Adding EPG (Electronic Program Guide)
For a better experience with program information:
- Go to “Settings”
- Select “EPG”
- Click “Add EPG Source”
- Enter a name (e.g., “NecroIPTV EPG”)
- Enter the EPG URL provided by NecroIPTV (usually similar to the M3U URL but with “type=epg” at the end)
- Click “Add” or “Save”
- Go back to settings and select “Update EPG”
This setup takes about 5 minutes total, and most of my clients can handle it themselves after being shown once.

Once you have the basic setup working, you can customize your experience with these advanced settings in GSE Smart IPTV:
Channel Organization
GSE Smart IPTV allows you to create custom groups and favorites:

For better performance:

These advanced features are why many NecroIPTV subscribers prefer using GSE Smart IPTV over the default apps. You get more control over your viewing experience. I especially like the custom groups feature, which lets you organize sports channels separately from news or entertainment.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Even with a straightforward setup, you might encounter some issues. Here are solutions to common problems:

If channels aren’t loading:
- Check your internet connection

Buffering Issues
For buffering problems:
- Increase the buffer size in player settings

- Close other apps and devices using your network
- Try a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi if possible
- Contact NecroIPTV to see if they’re having server issues
EPG Not Showing
If the program guide isn’t appearing:
- Make sure the EPG URL is entered correctly
- Manually update the EPG from settings
- Check if your subscription includes EPG access
- Allow more time for the guide to download (can take 10-15 minutes)
App Crashes
If the app keeps crashing:
- Update GSE Smart IPTV to the latest version
- Clear the app cache
- Reinstall the app
- Check if your device has enough free storage
I’ve found that most problems with this setup are related to either internet connection issues or incorrect login credentials. Double-checking these two things solves about 90% of all problems.
