The three login types
| Type | What you give your provider | What your provider gives you |
|---|---|---|
| MAC-ID (Stalker middleware) | The box’s MAC-ID | A portal URL, typically ending in /c |
| XC (Xtream Codes API) | Nothing | A portal (server) URL, user ID and password |
| M3U playlist | Nothing | An M3U playlist URL and an EPG (XML) URL |
Formuler stresses that its boxes include no content: the portal URL is what your service provider gives you after you subscribe.
Add a MAC-ID portal
- Find the MAC-ID. Open the add-portal screen in your version’s Content Sources menu; the MAC-ID is shown there and on a label on the box. Formuler says Z11 series boxes with MyTVOnline 3 use a MAC-ID starting 00:1E:B8; its general guide describes MAC-IDs starting 00:1A.
- Give that MAC-ID to your provider and wait for them to register it.
- Add the portal with the portal URL they send, exactly as written.
- Let the channels and guide load.

Add an Xtream Codes (XC) login
Choose XC in Content Sources and enter the portal URL (the server address, including http:// and any port), user ID and password from your provider. See Xtream Codes login explained.
Add an M3U playlist
Choose M3U and enter the M3U playlist URL, plus the EPG XML URL for the guide. Formuler notes that catch-up doesn’t work with plain M3U playlists, so if your provider offers a portal or XC login, those give you more. If your M3U works, Formuler suggests trying XC by converting the long M3U link into XC credentials; see Xtream Codes to M3U for how the two relate.
If it won’t connect
- Error code 7 or 403: a connection failure between the box and the service. Check your internet with another app, open the portal URL in a web browser to check it’s correct and reachable, confirm the MAC-ID you gave the provider, and ask the provider whether your service is active.
- Error code 11: the M3U link is wrong or inactive. Test it in a browser, check it with your provider, and if it used to work, delete it and add it again.
