IPTV setup guide
You can connect in two ways. Xtream Codes is a login with username, password and server address. An M3U link is a single long address. Both work in every app we support, and you can switch between them.
The two access types
| Xtream Codes | M3U link | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | a login with three fields | one long address |
| Where it goes | the Xtream section of the app | the playlist or M3U section |
| Typical app | IPTV Smarters Pro, TiviMate | VLC, most Smart TV apps |
| Refreshing the list | reload in the app settings | replace the address |
Device by device
Firestick and Fire TV
See the Firestick page for the full route with the Downloader app.
Android TV box
Install IPTV Smarters Pro or TiviMate from the Play Store, open the app and choose Xtream Codes or M3U. The rest is the same as on the Firestick.
Samsung and LG Smart TVs
Use the app store of your television. Not every IPTV app is available there. If yours is not, connect a Fire TV Stick or an Android TV box to the HDMI port instead.
Apple TV, iPhone and iPad
Install a player from the App Store, then enter the M3U link or the Xtream login. On the Apple TV the entry fields are easier with the remote app on your phone.
Windows and Mac with VLC
Open VLC, choose Open Network Stream and paste the M3U link. VLC is good for a quick test and weak for everyday viewing, because it has no programme guide.
The programme guide
The guide data comes from the provider, not from the app. If the guide stays empty, reload the EPG in the app settings and wait a few minutes. Some channels carry no guide data at all.
When it does not work
| What you see | What to try |
|---|---|
| Black screen on every channel | check the connection, then reload the channel list |
| Channel list stays empty | check the three fields of the Xtream login, or paste the M3U link again |
| One channel freezes, others run | it is the channel, not your line. Try another one. |
| Everything freezes in the evening | peak hours. A wired connection helps. |
| Guide stays empty | reload the EPG, then wait. Not every channel has data. |
