Xtream Codes login: server, username and password
Xtream Codes is the login many IPTV providers use: a server address, a username and a password. Compared with an M3U link, it also brings the film and series library, posters, the TV guide and your subscription end date. If your provider offers both, choose Xtream.
Step by step
On “Add source”, choose “Xtream login”
This option is marked “Recommended” in the list.
Enter the server address
Type the address from your provider with its port number, for example http://example-server.com:8080. Nothing needs to be added after it.
Enter your username and password
Capital and small letters matter; check that no space slipped in.
Save and wait for the content to load
The first connection downloads the channels, films and series. With a large library this can take a minute or two; later starts are fast.
Tips
- If all you have is a long link starting with get.php, paste it into the server field as it is: the app recognises it and separates server, username and password itself.
- On a TV, “Add with your phone” lets you type all three fields on your phone's keyboard.
- Your subscription end date and number of connections are shown on the app's home screen.
Common questions
I get “The server did not answer as Xtream”.
Check the server address: it must start with http:// and have the right port number (for example :8080). If the address is right, your subscription may have ended or the provider's server may be down for a while.
Should I use Xtream or M3U?
Xtream, if your provider offers both. Films, series, posters and the TV guide arrive in order; with M3U you only see what is in the list.
