Xtream Codes to M3U link builder

As your provider sent it, for example http://example-server.tv:8080

Everything happens in your browser: your details are never sent to us or stored. The links contain your password, so keep them private. Some providers disable playlist links; if the link doesn’t load, ask your provider for it.

How to use the result

  1. Copy the M3U playlist link into your app’s “add playlist” or “M3U URL” field.
  2. Copy the TV guide link into the app’s EPG, XMLTV or TV guide source field. See how to add an EPG.
  3. Refresh the playlist and the guide in the app.

Choosing the options

  • Stream format: MPEG-TS (ts) usually changes channel faster; HLS (m3u8) can cope better with a patchy connection. If channels buffer, try the other. HLS vs MPEG-TS explains the difference.
  • List type: keep m3u_plus so the list includes channel groups, logos and guide IDs. Use plain m3u only for very basic players.

Open the playlist link in a browser first. If it shows text beginning with #EXTM3U, it works and the problem is in the app. If it shows an error, check the server address (including http:// and the port), the username and the password. Some providers disable playlist links; ask yours for one directly. The full explanation is in how to get an M3U URL from an Xtream Codes login.

Keep the links private: they contain your password in plain text.
