Xtream Codes is the most common way to log into an IPTV subscription — three fields, entered once per device.
The three fields
- Username — unique to your subscription.
- Password — paired with the username.
- Server URL — the address your player connects to for the channel list and EPG.
Where to enter it
In your IPTV player app, choose “Xtream Codes login” or “Login with Xtream Codes API” (rather than M3U) when adding a new playlist or user, then fill in the three fields exactly as sent.
Xtream Codes vs M3U
Xtream Codes login is three separate fields; M3U is a single combined link. Both connect to the same underlying channel list — see the full comparison if you’re not sure which you have.
Common errors
Typos, extra spaces from copy-pasting, and missing http:// in the server URL are the most frequent causes of a failed Xtream Codes login.
