IPTV Smarters Pro stuck on list users firestick means the app opened and logged in fine, but it can't pull your account's saved profile list back from the server, so it just hangs on that one screen indefinitely. The cause is either a slow server response, a corrupted local user database, or an account that has hit its connection limit. Force-stopping the app clears the local half of that possibility; the rest depends entirely on where the request is actually failing along the way.

What is the 'list users' screen actually doing?

After you enter your server URL, username, and password, the app logs in through Xtream Codes, which is simply the API format most IPTV apps use to pull an account's channels, categories, and any saved user profiles from the provider's server behind the scenes. The list users screen is where the app displays those saved profiles before it loads the main interface for you. If that particular request to the server stalls or fails silently along the way, the screen just sits there with no visible error message at all, which is exactly why it looks completely stuck rather than obviously broken to you as the viewer.

Is it a slow server response or a local cache problem?

Wait 30 to 60 seconds on a stable connection first, since a slow or congested response coming back from the server can simply take longer than you'd expect without anything actually being wrong on either end. If it eventually loads after that wait, that delay was genuinely the cause and nothing more. If it hangs at the exact same point every single time, regardless of your connection speed or time of day, the local user database file stored inside the app is far more likely corrupted, often following an interrupted previous session or a bad update that didn't fully complete.

Did you create more saved profiles than the app lists cleanly?

If your account has several saved user profiles rather than just one single profile, a corrupted record for just one of them can stall the entire list from loading, since the app tries to load all of them together before it shows you the screen at all. This tends to show up as the hang only starting after you added a new profile, or only happening when one specific profile is involved in the request. Deleting just that one problem profile inside the app, then re-adding it with the exact same credentials, usually clears the hang without touching or affecting any of the others at all.

When is this actually an account issue, not an app issue?

If the hang happens on every single device tied to the same account, not just this one Firestick you're currently troubleshooting, the cause has genuinely moved from local to server-side. This most often means the account has hit its simultaneous connection limit, and the server is flatly rejecting the profile request outright rather than simply being slow to respond to it. Log out of a device you're not currently using anywhere, or confirm your actual connection count against what your plan allows, before you assume the app itself is somehow broken or at fault here.

What causes it, and what fixes each cause

The screen hangs right after login, then eventually loads.

What is happening
The server response for your saved profile list is slow or congested, not actually failed.
What fixes it
Wait 30 to 60 seconds on a stable connection before assuming it's broken.

It hangs at the exact same point every time, on a fast connection.

What is happening
The local user database file inside the app is corrupted, often from an interrupted session or a bad update.
What fixes it
Clear the app's cache and data from Firestick storage settings, then log in fresh.

The hang started only after adding a second saved profile.

What is happening
A corrupted record for that one profile is stalling the full list, since the app loads all profiles together.
What fixes it
Delete just that profile inside the app and re-add it with the same credentials.

It hangs on every device using the same account, not just this Firestick.

What is happening
The account has hit its simultaneous connection limit and the server is rejecting the profile request.
What fixes it
Log out of a device you're not using, or confirm your connection count against your plan.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Wait closer to a minute before force-closing

    A slow server response resolves on its own more often than people give it credit for.

  2. 2

    Force-stop the app and reopen it

    Clears a stuck local process without touching your saved credentials.

  3. 3

    Check whether other devices on the account also hang

    If they do, the issue has moved from local to the account or connection limit.

  4. 4

    Clear the app's cache and data

    Fixes a corrupted local user database, which is the most common single-device cause.

    Tip · This does not delete your server URL, username, or password; you'll still be logged in after.

  5. 5

    Delete and re-add the specific profile if only one hangs

    Isolates the fix to the corrupted profile instead of resetting the whole app.

  6. 6

    Log out an unused device if the account is over its limit

    Frees a connection slot so the server stops rejecting the profile request.

  7. 7

    Contact support if it persists across every device

    Tell them it fails at the list users step specifically and that you've already ruled out local cache and connection count.

Verified service facts

Confirmed

Pointing a second player app at the same playlist URL gives it the same channels but starts with an empty favorites and settings state, since those are stored per-app rather than attached to the playlist itself — switching apps means rebuilding favorites from scratch even though the underlying content hasn't changed.

Confirmed

An app supporting a new language is often rolled out incrementally, screen by screen, so a period where some parts of the interface are translated and others remain in the original language is a normal, temporary rollout state rather than a bug.

Confirmed

Reinstalling a player app clears its locally stored playlist and login details along with everything else, so a forgotten playlist URL or Xtream login has to be re-entered from wherever it was originally saved — reinstalling is not a way to recover lost setup details, only a way to reset the app itself.

Questions

IPTV Smarters Pro Stuck on List Users Firestick: The Fix — questions people ask

Why are IPTV Smarters not working on Firestick at the list users step?
It's stalled on a request to the server for your saved profile list, and that particular request can fail silently without showing any error text on screen at all. That's genuinely different from the app not opening in the first place, and it usually means the actual fix is either patience, a cache clear, or checking your connection count, rather than jumping straight to reinstalling the whole app from scratch.
Should I clear cache or reinstall the app first when this happens?
Clear cache and data first; it fixes a corrupted local user database without erasing your saved server credentials the way a full reinstall can sometimes do. Reinstall only if clearing the cache doesn't change anything after you've also confirmed the hang isn't simply a slow server response you just needed to wait out a bit longer. Reinstalling first, before trying the smaller fix, just costs you extra setup time without actually improving your odds of clearing the hang.
Does deleting a saved profile lose my viewing history permanently?
It can reset local history and favorites tied specifically to that one profile, but it does not affect your underlying account or your line with the provider in any way. Re-adding the profile afterward with the exact same login credentials restores full access to your channels and content almost immediately once it's set back up. Other saved profiles on the same account keep their own history untouched, since each one stores its data separately inside the app.
Why does it hang only sometimes, not consistently every time?
Intermittent hangs point more toward a slow or congested server response than toward local corruption sitting on your device, since a genuinely corrupted file tends to fail the exact same way every single time you try. Waiting closer to a full minute before force-closing the app is worth trying first if the behavior seems inconsistent from one attempt to the next.
Can too many logged-in devices cause this specific screen to hang?
Yes, it can. If the account is already sitting at its simultaneous connection limit, the server can outright reject the profile-list request rather than returning it slowly, and that produces the exact same stuck screen you're seeing. Logging out of an unused device frees up a slot right away and often resolves the hang almost immediately after. Check every device you own, not just the ones you remember using recently, since an old phone or tablet can stay logged in quietly for months.
Is this ever caused by a Firestick memory problem instead?
It's less common for this particular screen specifically, since it's mainly waiting on a network request rather than doing any heavy local processing work on the device itself. It's still worth force-stopping other apps first if the Firestick has been running for a long stretch with several apps left open in the background at the same time. Rule out the server-side causes first, since they're far more likely here, and only chase memory if everything else checks out clean.

Local cache first, account status second

Most list users hangs clear with a cache clear or a longer wait for the server response. If it happens on every device tied to the account, stop treating it as an app bug and check the connection count instead.

One line, five profiles if you need them

IP4KTV supports 1 to 5 simultaneous connections per plan, and the 7-day money-back window covers testing this on your own account.

Editor’s pick

Picked by Daniel Osei · Support Lead

I would wait closer to a minute before assuming it's broken, since a slow server response is the most common and least destructive cause. If clearing the app's cache doesn't fix it, I'd check how many devices are logged in before reinstalling anything.
