Before you begin
- A player that offers an Xtream Codes or Xtream API option
- The Aero IPTV activation message open where you can see it

The walkthrough, step by step
Choose Xtream over M3U
Different apps label it differently: in Smarters the button reads Login with Xtream Codes API, TiviMate calls the same thing Xtream Codes login, and elsewhere it may be shortened to just Xtream or API. Any time a player offers both this and an M3U choice, pick this one without fail — it is what pulls the guide and the on-demand shelf across too.
Get the server address right
This field is behind more failed sign-ins than any other, so give it real care. Begin with http://, add the host, follow it with a colon and the port, and stop there — http://example.com:8080 is the whole of it. One stray character and the login is rejected outright.
Enter the username and password
Copy both directly out of the message, keeping an eye on capitals, since the pair are case-sensitive. The profile name carries no such rule; it is just a label, playing no part in whether you connect.
Save, and keep the details safe
Hit save and the channels, the on-demand content and the guide all arrive on their own. Stash those three details somewhere you can dig them out later: with them ready, a second TV takes about a minute to add, whereas without them it is back to messaging us and waiting for one.
If it acts up
The player insists on an M3U URL
A few older apps grasp only playlists. Reach instead for the M3U link inside that same activation message — the identical account, merely wrapped differently — and the M3U guide takes over from there.
The app reports a connection timeout
A timeout tends to point at the server line or the network, not the username and password. Check the address, port and all, matches exactly what we issued, then try the same line on a phone over mobile data. If it plays there yet not on the TV, the home connection is the weak link, not the account.

Xtream Codes login — common questions
Is it legal to use an Xtream Codes login?
A login is nothing but a means of passing three things along — a host, then a username, then a password — and because the apps in every major store depend on precisely this, the format itself is thoroughly ordinary. Legality hinges elsewhere entirely: on whether the service at the far end holds a licence for what it streams, a question our IPTV legality article works through in full.
What if I mislay these three details?
Send us a message on WhatsApp and we will resend them at once — no charge, and nothing to reset. It pays to keep the activation note somewhere safe, a password manager say, so adding a new television is a quick job rather than a wait on us. The values never lapse by themselves; only the plan behind them can.
