Windows PC or Mac — full setup

The quickest way: VLC

VLC is free, available for Windows and Mac at videolan.org, and needs no account.

1. 1Install and open VLC.
2. 2Media → Open Network Stream (Windows) or File → Open Network (Mac).
3. 3Paste your playlist link: your playlist link
4. 4Press Play.

VLC opens the playlist as a list of tracks. Press Ctrl + L (Windows) or ⌘ + Alt + P (Mac) to show the channel list beside the video.

The comfortable way: a real IPTV app

• Windows: install IPTV Smarters Pro for Windows from iptvsmarters.com, or MyIPTV Player from the Microsoft Store.
• Mac: IPTV Smarters is available for macOS from the same site; IINA also opens the M3U link above.

In any of them, choose the Xtream Codes login and enter:

• Server URL: your server address
• Username: your username
• Password: your password

Watching in the browser

You do not need to install anything to *test* the service: open your subscription page in your account and use the built-in player. It is a check, not a viewing experience — a real app will always be smoother.

It still does not work

• "Wrong username or password" — the details are case-sensitive and there is no space at the end. Use the copy button above instead of typing them. Full checklist
• "Maximum connections reached" — someone else is watching. How to fix it
• The picture freezes — start here
• Channels are missing — start here

If none of that helps, run the troubleshooter in your account. It checks your actual subscription first, which is faster than describing the problem to us.
