Please note: IPTVCodeXtream does not sell subscriptions, provide logins or host any streams. Only use services that are authorized to distribute the channels they offer. See our Disclaimer for details.
What is an IPTV Xtream Code?
An IPTV Xtream Code is a set of login details supplied by your IPTV service provider. A compatible player uses these details to connect to the provider’s server through the Xtream Codes API and load your channels, on-demand content and programme guide.
Your Xtream Codes login usually includes three details:
- Username: your IPTV account username.
- Password: your IPTV account password. The username and password are usually case-sensitive.
- Server URL: the server address from your provider, usually starting with
http://orhttps://and often followed by a port number, for examplehttp://example.com:8080.
To get started, you need a valid subscription or an authorized trial and a player app such as IBO Player on iPhone. If you do not have login details yet, read our guide on how to get a free IPTV Xtream Code through a legitimate trial.
IPTV Xtream Code iPhone setup with IBO Player
IBO Player works differently from many IPTV apps. You do not type your login on the iPhone itself. Instead, the app shows two device details, and you use them on the IBO Player website to add your playlist. Follow these steps to complete your IPTV Xtream Code iPhone setup in a few minutes. Menu names can differ slightly between app versions.
Step 1: Download IBO Player from the App Store
Open the IBO Player listing on the Apple App Store and tap Get. IBO Player on iPhone is free to download and requires iOS 15.6 or later. The app also runs on iPad, Mac and Apple TV. Availability can vary by country.
Step 2: Open the app and note your device details
Open IBO Player. The start screen shows your Device ID, which looks like a MAC address, and your Device Key. Write both down or take a screenshot, and keep the app open on this screen.
Step 3: Log in to the IBO Player website
On your iPhone or a computer, open a browser and go to the website address shown in the app. Enter your Device ID and Device Key exactly as displayed, then log in. Only use the address shown in the app, and never enter your details on look-alike sites.
Step 4: Add your Xtream Codes playlist
On the website, choose Add playlist and fill in the details from your provider:
- Playlist name: any name you like, for example My IPTV.
- Xtream Codes details: your server URL, username and password, if the form offers an Xtream Codes option.
- Playlist URL: if the form only asks for a URL, paste the M3U link from your provider. It contains the same login details.
- EPG URL: optional. Add the programme guide link if your provider supplied one.
Check every field for typing mistakes and extra spaces, then save the playlist.
Step 5: Reload IBO Player and start watching
Go back to IBO Player on iPhone and restart the app, or use its reload or login option. The app downloads your playlist, which can take a few minutes the first time. Depending on your subscription, you will see:
- Live TV: live television channels sorted into categories.
- Movies: on-demand films.
- Series: TV shows and episodes.
- EPG: the electronic programme guide, when your provider supplies it.
Your IPTV Xtream Code iPhone setup is now complete.
IBO Player free trial and activation
IBO Player includes a 7-day free trial with all features. After the trial, you pay a one-time activation fee to keep using IBO Player on iPhone. You can pay through the IBO Player website or the in-app purchase. Check the current price on the App Store listing before you pay.
The activation fee is for the player only. IBO Player includes no channels, so you still need a separate subscription or authorized trial from an IPTV provider.
Alternative: use another IPTV player on iPhone
If you prefer to type your Xtream Codes login directly on your iPhone, choose an App Store player that offers an Xtream Codes or Xtream Codes API login. Before you install it, check the ratings, the developer information and any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Avoid apps that come with built-in channels or promise free access to paid content. A legitimate IPTV player is empty until you add your own login. Keep your login details private, because anyone who has them can use your account.
Where can you get your IPTV Xtream Codes?
Your Xtream Codes login details always come from your IPTV service provider. Installing IBO Player or another player does not create them, because these apps are players only and include no channels.
After you buy a subscription or receive an authorized trial, look for your details in the welcome email, your customer account or messages from your provider. Keep your username, password and server URL private, and never share them publicly.
