How to set up Xtream Codes login, in 12 beginner steps
Find the three details in WhatsApp
Open the message from ZorbaIPTV. You will see the server URL, then a username, then a password, each on its own line. Star or pin the message so you can find it later. These three details are your key, so keep them private and do not post them anywhere.
Understand what each detail does
The server URL tells the app which computer to talk to, like a street address. The username and password prove the account is yours, like the key to the front door. All three must be exact. One wrong letter in any of them, and the server simply says no.
Look at the shape of the server URL
A server URL looks like http://example-server.com:8080. It starts with http://, then a name, then a colon and a port number. The port is the number at the end. There is nothing after it: no slash, no word like get.php and no space.
Keep http as http
Some people change http:// to https:// because it looks safer. Do not. Our server answers on the exact address we sent. If the message says http, type http. If a newer message gives you https, use that instead. A mismatch is one of the top reasons a login fails.
Open the Xtream option in your app
Every app words this slightly differently. In Smarters it reads Login with Xtream Codes API. In TiViMate you press Add playlist and then choose Xtream Codes. Elsewhere you may see XC, Xtream API or simply Login. If the app wants only a playlist address, switch to our M3U guide.
Type the server URL first
Type the server URL in the URL or Server field. Some apps have a separate Port box. In that case, put the address without the colon and number in the server box, and only the number in the port box. Check the whole line against the message before moving on.
Type the username and password
Copy them character by character. Capital letters count, so ABC and abc are different. Typing with the remote is slow but avoids hidden spaces that pasting can add. If the app offers to show the password, turn that on so you can check it.
Give the profile a name and sign in
Many apps ask for a profile name, such as Any Name or Playlist name. It is only a label, so type ZorbaIPTV or the room. Press Add user, Next or Sign in. The app then downloads the channel list and the guide. Leave it alone until it finishes.
Run a first-run check
Play one live channel for a minute. Open the TV guide and check that program names appear. Start one movie from the on-demand section. If all three work, your Xtream login is set up. If the guide is empty, refresh it in the app and wait a few minutes.
Remember the settings stay in the app
Favorites, hidden groups and player settings are saved by each app on each device. They do not travel with your login. A new TV starts fresh, so set up your favorites again there. The channel list itself always comes from our server and stays the same.
Use the same login on other devices
You can type the same three details into a phone, a stick and a second TV. Installs are not limited. The limit is on simultaneous streams, and your ZorbaIPTV plan sets it at one, two, three or five.
Ask for a new password if needed
If you think someone else has your details, message us on WhatsApp and we issue a new password. The old one stops working right away. The server URL and username normally stay the same, so you only change the password on each device.
Stuck on one of these steps? Take a photo of your screen with your phone and send it to us on WhatsApp. A real person will tell you which button to press next.
Xtream login or M3U link: which should you use?
An Xtream login is the better choice whenever your app supports it. It is three short details instead of one long link, and the app fetches the guide and the on-demand library automatically. ZorbaIPTV sends both formats, so you can switch at any time.
| Point | Xtream Codes login | M3U link | Portal URL (MAC) |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you type | Server URL, username, password | One long web address | One web address, plus your MAC sent to us |
| TV guide | Comes with the login | Sometimes needs a second link | Comes with the portal |
| Movies and series | Separate menus, built by the app | Mixed into one long list in many apps | Separate menus in the portal |
| Best for | Smarters, TiViMate, iMPlayer | VLC, Kodi, Smart IPTV | MAG boxes, some Formuler setups |
The M3U playlist guide covers the link route, and the MAG and Formuler box guide covers the portal route. For a wider overview of the formats, read how to set up IPTV, the beginner version.
Where your Xtream login goes on each device
Every device needs a player app first, then the three details. These guides show the full path for each screen: the Fire TV Stick guide, the Apple TV and iPhone guide and the Windows and Mac guide. If you want help choosing a player, the IPTV player comparison sorts them by device and by how easy they are for a beginner.
Xtream Codes as a company no longer exists, but the login style it created is now standard. App makers describe their own sign-in screens; see the IPTV Smarters website and the TiViMate website for their current menus.
Stuck on the login screen? Send us a photo
A login that will not take is nearly always one character. Send a photo of the filled-in screen to our WhatsApp at +44 7451 256085, and a real person spots the slip and tells you what to change. Help is free and available 24/7.
Need a login to try? The 24-hour free trial needs no card. See how a ZorbaIPTV subscription works, then compare plans for 1 to 5 screens. The login usually arrives under 15 minutes after payment.
Where to find the main menus on Xtream Codes login
App and system updates sometimes rename or move menus. Use this table as a map, not a promise. Seeing a slightly different label? Go with the nearest match, or snap a picture of the TV for us on WhatsApp.
| Player | Where the Xtream login lives | Field names you will see |
|---|---|---|
| IPTV Smarters Pro | Login with Xtream Codes API | Any Name, Username, Password, URL |
| TiViMate | Add playlist, then Xtream Codes | Server address, Username, Password |
| iMPlayer | Add playlist, then the Xtream option | Name, URL, Username, Password |
| Formuler MyTVOnline | Add connection, Xtream type | Server, Username, Password |
| Smarters Player Lite (Apple) | Add user, Xtream Codes | Same four fields as Smarters Pro |
Want the developer's or maker's own instructions? Visit the IPTV Smarters, a widely used player with Xtream login. Remember that the app comes from its developer, not from ZorbaIPTV, and any paid tier is paid to them. Use the trial to check that the app, your device and our login work well together before you buy.
Picture pausing or slow to start? Check these first
- Your connection: nothing beats a network cable. On wireless, choose the 5 GHz network and keep the router no more than a room or two away.
- Other traffic at home: large downloads, game updates and cloud backups all share the same line. Pause them while you watch.
- The app: close it fully and reopen it. If the player has a buffer setting, raising it one step can help.
- The device: restart the stick, box or TV. Small streaming sticks run better after a fresh start.
- The channel: some channels come in more than one version. Try another, then tell us which one gave you trouble.
Our streams come in HD, FHD and 4K; the 4K version exists only when the channel itself broadcasts in 4K. Bandwidth and hardware for that are covered in what 4K IPTV requires at home. Wondering whether your internet provider is slowing streams? Our VPN for IPTV article covers what a VPN can and cannot fix.
Common Xtream Codes login setup problems and how to fix them
Invalid login or authorization failed
Retype the username and password by hand, watching capital letters. Then check the subscription or trial has time left on it. Expired accounts give the same message.
Cannot connect to the server
Check the server URL: http:// at the front, the port at the end and nothing after the port. Make sure you did not change http to https.
The app only shows an M3U field
That app does not support Xtream. Use the M3U link from the same WhatsApp message and follow our M3U playlist guide, or install a player that has the Xtream option.
Channels load but the guide is empty
Guide data downloads after the channels. Wait a few minutes and refresh the guide in the app. Then check the clock and time zone on the device.
The server field rejects the address
Some apps want the port in its own box. Put the address without the port in the server box and only the number in the port box.
Too many connections
Only so many screens may stream together on one plan. Stop playback on another device and wait about a minute for the slot to free up.
It worked yesterday and stopped today
Check the end date of your plan or trial first. If it is still active, restart the device and router, then message us with a photo of the error.

Questions about Xtream Codes login and ZorbaIPTV
What is an Xtream Codes login?
It is three details an IPTV player uses to sign in: server URL, username and password. The app uses them to fetch live channels, movies, series and the TV guide. ZorbaIPTV sends all three on WhatsApp. Almost every popular player accepts this format, including Smarters, TiViMate and iMPlayer.
What does the server URL look like?
It looks like http://example-server.com:8080. It starts with http://, then a name, then a colon and a port number. Nothing comes after the port. Type it exactly as ZorbaIPTV sent it, and do not change http to https unless the message says https.
Does Xtream Codes still exist?
Not as a company. The original server product called Xtream Codes shut down in 2019. Its login style stayed in use, and today "Xtream Codes API" in an app simply means signing in with a server URL plus a username and password. ZorbaIPTV uses that standard format.
Xtream login or M3U link: which one should I pick?
Pick the Xtream login if your app offers it. It is quicker to type, the guide comes along with it, and movies and series land in their own menus. The M3U link is one long address, kept for VLC, Smart IPTV and other apps without an Xtream option. ZorbaIPTV includes both in your message.
Why does my app ask for a port number?
The port is the number after the last colon in the server URL, such as 8080. It tells the app which door on our server to knock on. Some apps want it inside the URL and others give it its own box. Either way, use the exact number from your ZorbaIPTV message and nothing after it.
Can I share my Xtream login with family?
Yes, inside your screen limit. Everyone in your home can use the same three details on their own device. How many watch together is capped by your ZorbaIPTV plan: one, two, three or five. If one more device starts, it will be refused until another stops.
