Before You Start
To install IPTV, you need two things: your IPTVCA login and a player app on your device. Install the player from your device's app store (or from the player's website on Fire TV), choose Xtream Codes, and enter the server URL, username and password from your welcome email. Your live channels, TV guide and 120,000+ movies and series then load on their own.
Your IPTVCA subscription is the signal. The player app is the TV set that shows it. You can use the same login in any player, on any of your devices, and change players whenever you like.

IPTV on Windows and Mac
- Download IPTV Smarters Pro
Go to the official IPTV Smarters website and download the Windows or macOS version.
- Install and open it
Run the installer, then open the app and choose Login with Xtream Codes API.
- Enter your IPTVCA details
Type any name, then the username, password and server URL from your email, exactly as written. Select Add user and your channels load.
VLC can open an M3U playlist, but it has no TV guide and no movie library menus. A dedicated IPTV player is much easier to use every day.
IPTV on Android phones and tablets
- Install a player from Google Play
Search iMPlayer or Perfect Player and tap Install.
- Add your login
Open the app, choose Add playlist and select Xtream Codes.
- Enter your details
Type the server URL, username and password from your IPTVCA email and save. Cast to a TV from the player if it offers Chromecast.
IPTV Troubleshooting Tips
- Buffering or freezing
Restart the device and the router. Use a cable or 5 GHz Wi-Fi; aim for 25 Mbps per HD screen.
- “Invalid login” or no channels
Username and password are case-sensitive. Copy them exactly, with no space at the end, and check the server URL.
- An old app version
Update the player from its store or website. Old versions can fail to load movies or the guide.
- The TV guide is empty
Refresh the EPG in the player's settings. A few channels don't publish guide data.
- One channel doesn't play
Try another channel. If only one is down, email us its name and we check it.
- The app is slow
Clear the player's cache and close apps running in the background, then restart the device.

Questions
IPTV Setup: Quick Answers
What is the best IPTV player?
It depends on the device: TiviMate and IPTV Smarters Pro on Fire TV and Android TV, Hot Player or IBO Player on Samsung and LG TVs and Roku, iMPlayer on Apple devices. All of them work with our Xtream Codes login.
Do you provide the IPTV app?
No. IPTVCA provides the subscription (your login). You install a player app made by another company, and some players sell a premium version separately.
How long does setup take?
About 5 minutes on Android TV, Apple devices and smart TVs, and about 10 minutes on a Fire TV Stick the first time.
Do I need a special IPTV box?
No. A Fire TV Stick, an Android TV or Google TV device, a Samsung or LG smart TV, a Roku, an Apple TV, a phone or a computer is enough.

It's the login format most IPTV players use: a server URL, a username and a password. With it, the player loads your channels, TV guide and movies automatically.
