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 Smart TV. 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 Samsung LG Smart TV setup with IBO Player
Samsung TVs run Tizen and LG TVs run webOS, so you can’t install Android APK files on them. IBO Player is available in both official app stores, which makes it one of the easiest ways to complete your IPTV Xtream Code Samsung LG Smart TV setup. You do not type your login with the TV remote. Instead, the app shows two device details on your screen, and you use them on the IBO Player website to add your playlist from your phone or computer. Menu names can differ slightly between TV models and app versions.
Step 1: Install IBO Player on your Samsung or LG Smart TV
- Samsung (Tizen): press the Home button on your remote, open Apps, select the search icon and type IBO Player. Select the app and choose Install. Samsung explains the process in its guide on how to download apps on a Samsung Smart TV.
- LG (webOS): press the Home button, open the Apps store (called LG Content Store on older models), search for IBO Player and select Install. LG describes the steps on its help page about installing apps on an LG TV.
IBO Player on Smart TV is free to download. Your TV must be connected to the internet, and the store may ask you to sign in with your Samsung account or LG account. Availability can vary by country and TV model.
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 photo of the screen with your phone, and keep the app open on this screen.
Step 3: Log in to the IBO Player website
On your phone 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 your TV 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. Use the arrow buttons on your remote to move between sections. 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 Samsung LG Smart TV 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 Smart TV. You can pay through the IBO Player website. Check the current price there before you pay.
Activation is linked to the Device ID shown in the app, so each TV you use may need its own activation. 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 before your IPTV Xtream Code Samsung LG Smart TV setup can play anything.
Can’t find IBO Player on your TV?
App availability depends on your TV model, its software version and your country. If IBO Player does not appear in the store, your IPTV Xtream Code Samsung LG Smart TV setup can still work. First check for a software update in your TV settings, restart the TV and search again.
Very old Samsung and LG models may not support current apps at all. In that case, you can connect a streaming device to an HDMI port and use it as your IPTV player. Our guides for Amazon Firestick and Android devices show you how to add your Xtream Codes login there. If you choose another Smart TV player, pick one from the official store that offers an Xtream Codes login, and avoid apps that come with built-in channels or promise free access to paid content.
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 for your IPTV Xtream Code Samsung LG Smart TV setup, 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.
