Maintaining IPTV Smarters Pro on its latest software release ensures compatibility with modern streaming codecs, fixes playback buffering bugs, and updates security protocols. Because sideloaded applications on Firestick and Android TV do not update automatically via background store updates, performing a manual update is required.
Version Release & Changelog Feature Matrix
Review the primary technical enhancements introduced in recent software updates:
| Version Build | Key Technical Updates | Player Engine Enhancements |
|---|---|---|

1. Updating Without Losing Playlists or Favorites
A primary concern among users is whether updating IPTV Smarters Pro will delete their saved Xtream Codes credentials, favorited channels, or custom settings.
If you perform an **in-place update** using the official APK from the same developer, Android OS preserves your app data directory while replacing the executable system binaries.
In-Place Safe Update Protocol
- Do NOT uninstall your existing version of IPTV Smarters Pro from your device.
- Open the Downloader app on your Firestick or Android TV.
- Enter shortcode
780614to fetch the latest official APK. - When the download completes, click Install.
- Android OS will display a prompt stating: "Do you want to install an update to this existing application? Your existing data will not be lost."
- Click Install to confirm the upgrade.
How to fix "App Not Installed" errors: If the installer throws an "App Not Installed" error during an update, you currently have a counterfeit or modded version of Smarters installed. Because the cryptographic signature of a fake app does not match the official WHMCS signature, Android blocks the overwrite. You must uninstall the fake app completely before installing the official release clean.
2. Verifying Your Current Version Number
To check which software build is currently running on your TV, launch IPTV Smarters Pro, open **Settings (Gear Icon)**, and scroll down to **About App**. The active version number and build date will display on screen.
