Install
Kinlo on your TV in a few minutes
You need a Samsung smart TV, a phone, and the details of your own IPTV subscription.
Kinlo is coming soon to the Samsung TV app store. Leave your email and you'll be the first to know.
What you need
- A Samsung smart TV running Tizen. We test on models from 2019 onward.
- A phone with a camera and a browser. There's nothing to download.
- An IPTV subscription with one of these:
- an M3U or M3U8 link (an address starting with http:// or https://), or
- Xtream Codes: a server address, username and password.
- Optional: an XMLTV link for the TV guide. Many providers include it in the playlist, and Kinlo then finds it on its own.
Step by step
- Install Kinlo from the app store on your Samsung TV and open it.
- Scan the QR code on your TV with your phone's camera. If that doesn't work, open kinlo-tv.com/app and choose "Pair a TV with a code". Check that the verification code on your phone matches the one on your TV.
- Sign in with your email address. You'll get a code by email; there's no password.
- Create your household and give the TV a name, like "Living room".
- Add your source under Sources. The TV loads your channels and guide in the background. With large lists, the first load takes a moment; after that, Kinlo starts from the TV's memory.
- Create profiles under Family, and allow channels for the kids.

Troubleshooting
My channels won't load
Check the link or your Xtream details with your provider. On the TV, Settings shows the last error and how many channels were loaded.
The guide is empty
Your source has no XMLTV guide, or the names in the guide don't match your channels. Add your provider's XMLTV link to your source.
A channel won't play
Kinlo automatically tries another quality or source of the same channel. If none works, the issue is usually on the provider's side. We can't help with outages at your provider.
I lost my phone
If you have a second admin, they can invite you again. Otherwise you'll need the recovery key, which you can view under TVs. Keep it in a password manager.
