Smart STB Setup Guide
Smart STB mimics a MAG-style portal on Smart TVs, Apple TV, Android boxes, and mobile devices. Follow this guide to capture your virtual MAC, connect the WOLFTV portal, and keep the app activated once the trial ends.
Portal login without extra hardware, 7-day trial, broad Smart TV support
Smart STB provides a built-in portal client wherever advanced IPTV apps are missing. It’s ideal if you need a quick bridge to WOLFTV on a Smart TV, though newer apps (TiviMate, IPTV Smarters, IPTVX) offer smoother UI.
- Setup time: About five minutes from install to live channels.
- Trial: 7 days; license activation ≈ 250 SEK (~€22) one-time.
- Login types: Portal URL (recommended) or M3U upload.
- Devices: Samsung/LG Smart TVs, Android TV/boxes, Apple TV, phones, tablets.
Quick Setup Checklist
- Install Smart STB from the official store and launch it. Accept the terms to start the free trial.
- When the info panel appears, press OK quickly to open Settings. If the panel freezes, relaunch the app or power-cycle the TV.
- Go to Device Info and write down the Virtual MAC (starts with 00:1A:79). Provide this MAC to WOLFTV when requesting service.
- Select Embedded Portal → Portals. Enable Multi-portal mode and make sure Use Portal 1 is turned on.
- Set a portal name (e.g. wolftv) and paste the WOLFTV portal URL from your welcome email. Save, exit settings, and restart the app so channels load.
Keep Smart STB Running Smoothly
- Save the virtual MAC and activation receipt—you’ll need them if you reinstall or change TVs.
- Reboot the TV/box weekly to clear cache and reload portal data.
- Update Smart STB through the TV’s app store whenever new versions appear.
- Disable unused portals in the settings menu to avoid confusion.
Device Notes & Alternatives
Smart TVs
Works across Samsung/LG models but the setup is more involved. If available, Nanomid or iMPlayer provide richer interfaces.
Nvidia Shield & Android Boxes
Smart STB runs fine, yet Android-native apps like TiviMate or Nanomid offer better navigation and catch-up options.
Xiaomi Mi Stick / Box
Supported, though weaker processors may struggle with large playlists. Lower stream quality or upgrade hardware if buffering persists.
Formuler Boxes
Prefer MyTVOnline for full remote support. Keep Smart STB only as a fallback.
