XTV player guide

Choose the right XTV player for M3U, Xtream-style or device-based login

The subscription supplies access; the player supplies the interface. Different operating systems support different apps and login methods.

XTV currently references three common setup approaches

Many players support Xtream-style server URL + username + password. Others use a private M3U playlist. Specialist devices such as some MAG/Formuler-style setups may use device/MAC or portal-based activation.

Use only the method supplied for your account and keep credentials private.

Account formats

Xtream-style server + username/password
Private M3U playlist URL
MAC/device/portal activation where supported
