Option 1: Login with Xtream Codes API
Choose Login with Xtream Codes API (the wording varies slightly by version) and fill in:
| Field | What to enter | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|
| Any name | Any label, such as “Living room” | None: it’s only a name |
| Username | Exactly as your provider sent it | Capital letters changed by the keyboard |
| Password | Exactly as sent | A space pasted at the end |
| URL | The server address with http:// or https:// and the port, such as http://example-server.tv:8080 | Leaving out the port, or pasting a whole playlist link |
Choose Add user or Login. Smarters then loads live TV, films, series and the TV guide.
Option 2: Load a playlist (M3U)
Choose the playlist option (often Load your playlist or file/URL), give it a name, choose M3U URL, and paste the link. With an M3U playlist, the TV guide may need its own address; see IPTV Smarters EPG.
Adding more users or services
Smarters can hold several profiles, each with its own login. Add another from the user list. Each profile still uses your account’s connections when it plays, so two profiles streaming at once need two connections. See too many connections.
Changing the server address
Providers sometimes change their server address. To update it, edit the profile from the user list and replace the URL. If your version doesn’t allow editing, add a new profile with the new address and delete the old one.
If the login is rejected
- Compare every character with your provider’s message; see Xtream Codes login explained.
- Make sure the account is active.
- Switch off any VPN and try again.
