What Is an Xtream Codes Login and How to Use It

Working through it

1. Find the Xtream option in your app

   IPTV Smarters calls it "Login with Xtream Codes API". TiViMate calls it "Xtream Codes login". Most others shorten it to "Xtream" or simply "API". Where a player offers both this and a playlist option, the Xtream one is what you want — the playlist route quietly costs you the guide and the on-demand section.

   Get credentials first

2. Enter the server URL

   The full address, with http:// at the front and the port on the end, shaped like http://example.com:8080. Nothing goes after the port — no slash, no path, no filename. This single field is responsible for the overwhelming majority of failed logins, so if something is wrong, look here before anywhere else.

3. Enter username and password

   Copy both straight from the activation message and mind the capitals, because they are case sensitive. The profile name the app asks for is purely cosmetic and affects nothing. If you are typing on a television remote, consider setting the account up on a phone first to prove the values are right.

4. Save and let it sync

   Channels, on-demand content and the guide download by themselves. Keep those three values somewhere you can find them: adding a second television later takes under a minute if you have them to hand, and means you do not have to come back to us for a copy.

When it goes wrong, and what fixes it

The app asks for an M3U URL instead

A few older players only understand playlists. Use the M3U link from the same activation message — it carries the identical account in a different wrapper. Expect no guide and no on-demand library on that route; the M3U page explains what you lose.

"Invalid credentials" but the details look right

Check for a trailing space, which pasting from a chat window adds surprisingly often and which nothing on screen will show you. Then check the port is present. Then type the password by hand once. In that order — it is almost always the first or second.

It connects but only a few channels appear

The account is working, so this is a category filter rather than a login problem. Look in the player settings for hidden or deselected groups; most players ask which categories to include on first run and people click through it without reading.

The login works on one device and not another

That rules out the account entirely and points at typing or at the app. Compare the server field character by character between the two. If they genuinely match, the second app may not support Xtream properly, in which case try Smarters on that device.

Everything worked, then stopped at the same time of day

That usually means the plan reached its end date rather than anything technical. Message the desk; renewal reactivates the identical credentials within minutes and nothing needs to be set up again.

You have the values but no server address

Some providers issue only an M3U link and expect you to derive the server from it. The portion before /get.php is the server address, and the username and password sit in the URL as parameters. If you would rather not pick a URL apart, ask us and we will send the three values separately.

The player accepts the login but shows a past expiry date

Most Xtream-capable players display the account expiry on the profile screen, and it is read from our server rather than guessed. If the date shown is wrong or in the past while your plan is current, screenshot it and send it over — that is a genuine account-side thing for us to correct, not something to fix in the app.

Two devices work and a third refuses the same details

When two devices are fine, the credentials are provably correct, so the third is either mistyped or hitting a network that blocks the port. Test that device on mobile data: if it connects there, the local network is the cause and the desk can suggest an alternative address.
