IPTV Installation Guide for Canada
Your login works on almost any device that runs an IPTV player. Pick your device below — most people are watching within ten minutes.
Before you start
You need the three pieces of information we email after activation:
- Server URL — looks like http://your-server:8080
- Username and password
- Optionally an M3U link, for players that do not support Xtream Codes login
Amazon Fire TV / Firestick
- On the home screen open Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options and enable Apps from Unknown Sources.
- Install Downloader from the Amazon Appstore, open it, and enter the code 982469.
- Download and install the player, then open it and choose Xtream Codes API (or M3U playlist).
- Enter a name, the server URL, your username and password, and press add. Channels and EPG load in a few seconds.
Android TV and Android boxes
Install the player from the Play Store and use the same Xtream Codes fields. On Android boxes sold without Play Store, sideload the APK with a USB stick or the Downloader app and allow installs from that source.
Samsung and LG Smart TV
Both platforms ship an IPTV player in their app store. Install it, choose M3U / Xtream, and enter your credentials. Smart TV players are lighter than Android ones, so if playback stutters on very large channel lists, an inexpensive Firestick is the better long-term option.
MAG, Formuler and BuzzTV
These boxes use a portal instead of an app. Open the portal settings, paste the portal URL we provide with your login, and reboot the box. If your box asks for a MAC address during activation, send it to us and we register the portal for that MAC.
iPhone, iPad and Android phones
Install a player from the App Store or Play Store, add a new playlist, choose Xtream Codes and enter the same three values. Mobile players usually need the LAN / external player option turned off to play smoothly.
Windows and Mac
Any desktop IPTV player will load the M3U link directly. Paste the URL into Open network stream and the channel list appears as a playlist. For a TV-style interface, use a player with Xtream support.
Common problems
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| "Invalid credentials" | Re-paste the server URL with http:// in front, then username and password with no trailing spaces. |
| Channels load, nothing plays | Switch the player to a different decoder in settings, or test another channel. One dead channel is normal on any large list. |
| Constant buffering | Use 5 GHz Wi-Fi or a cable, close background downloads, and lower the stream quality if your player allows it. |
| EPG is empty | Refresh the EPG in the player settings; the guide can take a few minutes on first load. |
| Only one device works | Your plan covers one connection at a time. Ask us for multi-device pricing. |
