- Your personal Aero IPTV M3U link, which we send over WhatsApp
- A player that can accept an M3U URL

The walkthrough, step by step
Check whether you even need it
Does your player list an Xtream Codes option? Smarters, TiviMate and nearly all the others do — where yours does, go that way and this page is finished with you, because Xtream hauls the guide data across as well. Keep the M3U link in reserve for the stubborn few that reject a sign-in, meaning VLC and Kodi in practice.
Copy it, and keep it secret
Look in your activation message, where it appears in the form http://server:port/get.php, your username and password already appended. Treat it as you would any password — pass that link to someone and you have effectively handed over your whole subscription.
Feed it into the player
With VLC, open Media > Open Network Stream. Kodi keeps it in the IPTV Simple Client add-on — drop the link into that add-on's M3U URL box. For Smart IPTV the destination is siptv.app/mylist. Both TiviMate and Smarters will also accept one in their M3U playlist field, yet on that pair the Xtream login serves you better.
Supply the guide URL if asked
The occasional player keeps the EPG on a line of its own. It is the same host, ending this time in xmltv.php with your details attached — just say the word and we will send it over whenever a player wants it kept apart.
If it acts up
It takes an age to open
A single file can carry many thousands of lines, and a stripped-back player chews through every one of them before it puts anything on screen. Your options are to graduate to a category-aware app such as TiviMate or Smarters, or to have us prepare a slimmer M3U covering Canada's channels alone.
No guide shows in VLC or Kodi
A bare M3U often brings channels but no programme data, which is normal on those players. In Kodi, point the IPTV Simple Client at the separate guide URL we can supply; VLC shows no guide at all. For a proper grid, an Xtream login in Smarters or TiviMate is the better fit.
More players to keep on hand
Smart IPTV (SIPTV)
On a Samsung or LG set, SIPTV works from the MAC address, not a login. Post your Aero IPTV M3U over to siptv.app, plus how the free-week trial works.
Windows PC and Mac
Run Aero IPTV on any laptop three ways — the desktop IPTV Smarters app, your M3U link inside VLC, or a browser player that installs nothing at all.

M3U playlist — common questions
Why do free GitHub M3U lists stop working so fast?
They are scraped feeds re-shared for the whole world to grab, which piles thousands of strangers onto a single source at once. Before long — usually within days — the host either blocks it or buckles under the load, and no one is around to repair it. On top of that, those sharing sites are a well-known vector for malware. A playlist you pay for answers to your account alone, and that is exactly what makes the difference.
How often does the M3U link change?
It holds for the life of your plan, so once a player has it there is nothing to keep updating. If we ever move servers, the new link comes over WhatsApp ahead of time. Treat it like a password, since whoever holds that link can play your subscription.
