FAQ

IPTV setup questions

How do I set up IPTV?

Install an IPTV player app on your device, open it, and enter the Xtream Codes login (server URL, username, password) or M3U playlist link from your provider. Then add the EPG link if the guide does not load automatically.

What's the difference between Xtream Codes and M3U?

Xtream Codes logins load live TV, movies, series and the guide together and are easiest to type. M3U is a single playlist link that works in almost every player; add the separate EPG link for the guide.

Which device is easiest for IPTV?

Android TV and Google TV devices, because you can install players straight from Google Play. Firestick is the most popular. Roku is the most limited.

Do I need a VPN to set up IPTV?

No. A VPN is optional and only helps if your internet provider throttles video. See fix IPTV buffering.
