Authorization Failed for Above Host – Easy Fix for IPTV Smarters Pro Error
If you’re seeing the message “Authorization Failed for Above Host” while using IPTV Smarters Pro on your smart TV, you’re not alone. This error usually means there’s a problem connecting to your IPTV server or logging in to your account. Don’t worry—it’s a common issue, and there are simple ways to fix it.
In this guide, we’ll show you step-by-step how to solve the Authorization Failed for Above Host error so you can get back to streaming with Wert4K IPTV UK.
1. Double-Check Your Login Info
Most of the time, this issue is caused by wrong login details. Go back and check your username, password, and server URL. Make sure there are no typos or spaces, especially at the beginning or end.
A common mistake is mixing up the number 0 (zero) with the letter O. Double-check carefully—even a small mistake will stop the app from connecting.
2. Fix the Server URL Format
Even if your login info is correct, the server URL might be the problem. If it ends with a slash (/), try removing it.
For example, change:
http://example.com/
To:http://example.com
This small change often fixes the error right away.
3. Try a Different Device
Verify whether your IPTV is compatible with other gadgets, such as your PC, tablet, or phone. If it does, your TV or the TV app may be the issue. Certain smart TVs have compatibility or connection concerns.
Use an alternative app, such as IBO Player, SmartOne IPTV, or other suitable options (some may be costly) if that’s the case.
4. Ask Your IPTV Provider for a Proper URL
If you’re using the IPTV Smarters app from your TV’s app store, not all server links will work with it. Contact Wert4K IPTV UK and ask for a version of the link that’s compatible with your device.
They’ll usually give you a special link formatted for Smarters Pro or recommend a different app if needed.
5. Use HTTP Instead of HTTPS
Smarters Pro often doesn’t support HTTPS. Make sure your URL starts with http:// instead of https://.
Also, try adding a port number at the end of the link, like:
http://example.com:80
The port number helps the app connect properly. Most providers use port 80, but you can confirm with your IPTV service.
6. Change Your DNS Settings
If your smart TV has network issues, switching to a public DNS can help. Try using Google DNS or Cloudflare DNS:
Google DNS:
Primary: 8.8.8.8
Secondary: 8.8.4.4
Cloudflare DNS:
Primary: 1.1.1.1
Secondary: 1.0.0.1
You can change these settings in your smart TV’s network settings.
7. Reinstall the IPTV App
If none of the steps above fix the problem, try uninstalling and reinstalling IPTV Smarters Pro. This removes any corrupted data or saved settings that may be causing problems.
Still not working? Consider switching apps. While IPTV Smarters Pro is popular, many users find it buggy or outdated. There are better options out there that work great with Wert4K IPTV UK.
