4K live IPTV app and installation guide
There is no special app to buy. You install a free player app, type the login from our email, and watch. Pick your device below; each takes about 5 to 10 minutes.
BEFORE YOU START
Have your login email open
It holds the three things every app asks for:
- your username
- your password
- the server address (it starts with http://)
No login yet? Get a free 4-hour trial or choose a plan.
THE ONE BUTTON THAT MATTERS
“Login with Xtream Codes API”
Whatever app you use, look for this option when it asks how to add your service. Then type the username, password and server address exactly as in the email. The “Name” field can be anything, for example “TV”.

If something goes wrong
The six messages people see most, and what to do about each.
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| “Invalid login” or “Authorization failed” | Retype the username and password exactly as in the email. Capital letters matter and there are no spaces. |
| “403”, “Max connections” or the picture stops on one TV | Your login is already playing on another device. Close the app there, wait 2 minutes and try again, or choose a plan with more TVs. |
| “Server not found” or “No internet” | Check the server address: it starts with http:// and must match the email exactly, including the port number if there is one. |
| The app asks for a MAC address, a device key or “activation” | A different, paid app opened. Go back to the app store and install the app named in our email. |
| Channels or the TV guide look empty | Wait a minute on the first login while the list downloads. Still empty? Log out and in again, or reload the playlist in the app’s settings. |
| The picture freezes | Check your speed (about 10 Mbps for HD, 25 for 4K), move closer to the router or plug in a cable, then restart the device. |
App and installation questions
Is there an official 4K Live IPTV app?
No, and you don’t need one. You watch in a free player app, such as IPTV Smarters Pro, by typing the login we email you. Be careful with paid apps that call themselves “4K Live IPTV”: you don’t need them.
Do I pay for the app?
No. The apps in this guide are free. Some have optional paid extras you don’t need.
Can I install it on more than one device?
Yes, on as many as you like. Your plan sets how many can play at the same time: 1 to 5 TVs. See the plans.
Can I use an M3U link instead?
Yes. If your player prefers an M3U playlist link, ask us on chat and we send yours.
What do I type in the “Name” field?
Anything you like, for example “TV”. It is only a label in the app. The username, password and server must match our email.
I set it up during my trial. Do I start again after buying?
Usually not: when you buy with the same email, we try to keep the same login. If the email you get shows new details, type those instead.
Which device gives the best 4K picture?
A Fire TV Stick 4K Max, a recent 4K smart TV or a 4K Android TV box, on a wired connection or strong 5 GHz Wi-Fi. Read more in our Firestick guide.
Can someone help me set it up?
Yes. Open the chat on any page, tell us your device, and we go through it step by step with you.
