Add your login
- Install XCIPTV Player from Google Play and check the developer is OTTRUN.
- Choose your login type: Xtream Codes (server, username, password) or an M3U link.
- Enter the details exactly as your provider sent them. The server address includes
http://and any port. See Xtream Codes login explained. - Let channels, films, series and the guide load, then add favourites.
The listing also says the app is fully customisable and brandable for OTT service providers, so some providers ship their own branded versions of it. Install only the official app or the one your provider gives you.
The two built-in players
XCIPTV includes ExoPlayer and VLC. If a channel stutters, shows a black screen or has no sound, try the other built-in player where your version lets you choose: the two handle streams differently. See black screen and no sound.
Catch-up, recording and backup
- Catch-up works with the EPG where your provider offers it. See catch-up TV in IPTV.
- Recording can be scheduled from the EPG view to internal or external storage. On a streaming stick, use external storage; see Android TV storage full.
- Backup and restore syncs settings across devices.
When it misbehaves
| Problem | Try |
|---|---|
| Crashes on start or returns to the home screen | Update the app, clear its cache, restart the device |
| Lists are empty | Check the login and server address; refresh the playlist |
| Guide missing | Refresh the EPG; check the provider’s guide is enabled |
| A channel won’t play | Try the other built-in player; try another channel |
| Nothing works in any app | Contact your provider: the account or server is the problem |
