IPTV Portal Login Explained: Username, Password & Server URL

After subscribing, you'll receive three pieces of information: a username, a password, and a server URL. This is what each one does.
Username and password
These identify your account, like any other login, except your IPTV player app uses them instead of a website. They're case-sensitive, so enter them exactly as provided.
Server URL
This tells your player app which server to connect to. It's the address your app contacts before it checks your username and password. It typically includes a port number and looks like http://server-address:port.
Where to enter these three fields
In most apps (IPTV Smarters Pro, TiviMate and others), look for "Login with Xtream Codes API" and you'll see three input fields matching exactly these three pieces of information. See the full Xtream Codes login walkthrough for the exact sequence.
What if I only got a single link instead?
Some setups issue a single M3U URL instead of three separate fields. It holds the same information in one string. See what an M3U playlist URL contains if that's what you received.
Keep these private
Treat your login like any other account password and don't share it publicly. Sharing gives anyone access to your connection and can trigger the device-limit restrictions on your plan.
