Every guide on this page follows the same idea. You install an IPTV player, enter the login details from your activation email, and the player loads your channels and on-demand library. Check these four things first and the setup will go smoothly.
Tip: copy and paste your login instead of typing it. Most sign-in errors come from a capital letter added by the phone keyboard or a missing http:// at the start of the server URL.
Use Xtream Codes whenever your app offers it. It loads live TV, movies, series and the programme guide in one go, and it keeps your library up to date automatically. Use the M3U link for players that only accept playlists, such as Kodi or some Smart TV apps.
| Login type | Best for | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Xtream Codes | IPTV Smarters Pro, TiviMate, IBO Player Pro, GSE | Live TV, movies, series, EPG |
| M3U playlist | Kodi, VLC, playlist-only apps | Live TV, movies (EPG via separate link) |
| Portal URL | MAG boxes, STB emulator | Live TV, movies, series, EPG |
