Xtream Codes IPTV Login: Username, Password and Server URL Explained
Xtream Codes is an IPTV login using a username, password and server URL. Learn how it differs from M3U, what each field means, and how to stay safe.
Quick answer
Xtream Codes is a login format that connects an IPTV player to your subscription using three details: a username, a password and a server URL. It does the same job as an M3U link but splits the information into separate fields. In IPTV Smarters Pro you choose "Login with Xtream Codes API" and enter the three details your provider issued after purchase; TiViMate offers a Xtream Codes option when you add a playlist. Treat all three fields as private, since they unlock your subscription, and never use shared or public logins, which are unreliable and can be unsafe.
Xtream Codes is a popular way to sign a player into your IPTV subscription. Instead of a single link, it uses three fields — and they should always stay private to you.
What a Xtream Codes login means
It's a login method supported by most IPTV players. You enter three details from your provider and the app connects to your subscription.
What each field means
All three come from your provider when you subscribe.
- Username — identifies your subscription.
- Password — secures access to it.
- Server URL — the address your player connects to (including http/https and a port).
Xtream Codes vs M3U
Both connect your player to the same subscription. Xtream Codes uses three fields; an M3U URL packs the same information into one link. Use whichever your provider recommends.
How players use it
In IPTV Smarters Pro you choose "Login with Xtream Codes API" and enter the three fields. TiViMate offers a Xtream Codes option when you add a playlist. Our setup guides cover both.
Keep your login safe
- Treat your username, password and server URL as private — they unlock your subscription.
- Only enter them into reputable, mainstream player apps.
- Be wary of "free login" lists or sites asking for your details — these can be phishing.
- If you think your details have leaked, contact support by email to refresh them.
