When your Glomax8K line is ready, the WhatsApp message has two sets of details. They open the same channels; they are just two formats, and different apps prefer different ones.
| Xtream Codes login | M3U link | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Server URL + username + password | One long web address listing every channel |
| Loads the TV guide | Automatically | Needs a separate EPG link |
| Films and series | Yes, sorted with covers | Often missing or mixed in |
| Best for | TiviMate, Smarters, XCIPTV, Apple players | VLC, Kodi, apps without Xtream |
| Updates | Instantly when channels change | App must reload the list |
Using the Xtream Codes login
Choose the option called Xtream Codes, Xtream Codes API or Login with XC in your app, then fill three fields:
- Server URL — copy it exactly, including
http://and the number after the colon (the port). Leaving out the port is the most common login error. - Username — case-sensitive, no spaces.
- Password — case-sensitive. Copy-paste on phones; type carefully on TVs.
“Invalid login” on the first try?
Check the port, check capital letters, and check for a space at the end of a copied field. If it still fails, send a screenshot on WhatsApp; we can see the line status from our side.
Using the M3U link
The M3U link already contains your username and password inside it, which is why it is long. Paste it whole into the app’s Add playlist → M3U URL field. In VLC: Media → Open Network Stream, paste, play. It is the quickest way to test that a line works on a computer.
For a TV guide with an M3U playlist, add the EPG link from your message in the app’s EPG or guide settings.
MAG and Enigma2 use a portal instead
MAG boxes and some Smart TV apps do not take either format; they use a portal address and your device’s MAC address. See the MAG and Enigma2 guide.
Keep your login private
- Do not post screenshots of your login, even cropped ones.
- Sharing it outside your home can exceed your connection limit and lock you out mid-film.
- If you think it has leaked, message us: a new password is issued free, in minutes.
Need a login to test with?
The free 24-hour trial comes with both an Xtream login and an M3U link.
Questions about this
A server URL, a username and a password. Apps such as TiviMate and IPTV Smarters use it to load channels, the TV guide and the film library together.
In the WhatsApp message with your login. It is a single long address; paste it whole into the M3U field of your app or into VLC.
Xtream Codes, whenever the app supports it: the guide, films and series load automatically and changes appear instantly.
Usually a missing port number in the server URL, a capital letter typed wrong, or a trailing space. Send us a screenshot if it still fails.
