Quick answer: install SS IPTV, get a connection code under Settings > General > Get code, enter it in the playlist editor on the SS IPTV website, add your M3U link as an external playlist, and save.
Set up SS IPTV
Install SS IPTV
Install SS IPTV (Simple Smart IPTV) from the LG Content Store or the Samsung app store.
Get the connection code
Open the app, go to Settings > General and select Get code. A short code appears; it is valid for a limited time.
Add your playlist on the SS IPTV website
On a phone or computer, open the official SS IPTV website, go to the playlist editor, enter the connection code and add an external playlist with the M3U link we sent you. Save.
Return to the TV
The playlist appears as a tile on the SS IPTV home screen. Open it to see your channels.
Use the external playlist option with your M3U link rather than uploading a file: the list then stays up to date by itself when channels change.

SS IPTV questions
Is SS IPTV free?
Yes. SS IPTV is free to use; some features show ads.
Where is the SS IPTV connection code?
In the app, under Settings > General > Get code. Generate a new code if the old one has expired.
Does SS IPTV use the MAC address?
SS IPTV mainly uses the temporary connection code to link playlists to your TV, rather than asking you to type the MAC address.
How do I get the TV guide in SS IPTV?
The app picks up the guide for many channels automatically. If yours are missing, add the EPG address we send you in the playlist settings on the website.
