IPTV Smarters Pro Samsung TV – Authorization Failed for Above Host [Fix 2026]

What does "Authorization Failed for Above Host" mean?

When using IPTV Smarters Pro on Samsung Smart TV, some users get the error:
👉 “Authorization failed for above host”.

This error usually means that the app cannot connect to your IPTV provider’s server because of:

🔒 Wrong login credentials (M3U / Xtream Codes)
🌐 IPTV provider’s server being offline or blocked
📡 ISP restrictions or firewall issues
📺 Samsung TV app compatibility problem
⚠️ Outdated IPTV Smarters Pro version

How to Fix "Authorization Failed for Above Host" on Samsung TV

1. Check Your IPTV Login Details

Double-check your M3U URL, username, and password.
Ask your provider to confirm if your subscription is active.

2. Verify IPTV Provider’s Server

Test your playlist in VLC Player or another IPTV app on PC/mobile.
If it works elsewhere, the problem is with the Samsung TV app.

3. Update IPTV Smarters Pro App

Go to the Samsung TV App Store (Tizen Store) and update the app.
If unavailable, reinstall the app and restart your TV.

4. Restart Your Internet & TV

Restart your Wi-Fi router.
Restart your Samsung Smart TV and try again.

5. Use a VPN

Some ISPs block IPTV servers.
Install a VPN on your router or another device to bypass restrictions.

6. Switch to Xtream Codes Login

If you are using an M3U URL, try using the Xtream Codes API login provided by your IPTV provider.
It is often more stable and less likely to cause authorization errors.

7. Try an Alternative IPTV App

If IPTV Smarters Pro still fails, install another IPTV app on Samsung Smart TV such as:

Smart IPTV (SIPTV)
OTTPlayer
TiviMate (via external devices like Fire Stick / Android Box)

Preventing Future Errors

Always keep IPTV Smarters Pro updated.
Use a stable internet connection (minimum 20 Mbps for HD, 50 Mbps for 4K).
Make sure your IPTV subscription is active and valid.

Conclusion

The error “Authorization Failed for Above Host” on IPTV Smarters Pro (Samsung TV) is usually linked to login details, server issues, or ISP restrictions.

➡️ To fix it: check your credentials, update the app, restart your TV/router, and use a VPN if necessary.
If nothing works, try another IPTV app like Smart IPTV or OTTPlayer.
