M3U or Xtream Codes: which should you use?

LibertyVue Player supports both common connection methods. The right choice depends on the details your own or authorised provider gives you.

M3U and Xtream Codes comparison

M3U / M3U8 playlist

A single URL or file that lists media entries. Use this option when your provider sends an M3U or M3U8 link.

  • Simple one-link setup
  • Optional XMLTV EPG URL
  • Best when you already have a playlist file or URL
Xtream Codes

Three provider details: a server address, username and password. Use this option when your provider gives you an Xtream Codes login.

  • Categories load from the server
  • Live TV, films and series endpoints
  • EPG depends on provider data

Quick setup

Add the connection in three steps.

1. Open Manage playlists

Use the Device ID and Device Key shown on your TV, then open the connection form.

2. Pick the matching format

Select M3U / M3U8 for one URL, or Xtream Codes for server, username and password fields.

3. Save and refresh

Save the authorised connection, then refresh the TV app. Keep credentials private and check every character.

Keep your connection safe.

Only enter playlist details supplied for your account. Do not post M3U URLs, Xtream passwords or Device Keys publicly. If a source stops working, contact the provider responsible for it.

Need help after saving?

Restart the app, check the network and confirm that the source includes valid media URLs and EPG data.

M3U and Xtream Codes questions.

Which format should I choose?

Choose M3U or M3U8 when your provider gives you one playlist URL or file. Choose Xtream Codes when your provider gives you a server URL, username and password.

Does LibertyVue Player provide a playlist?

No. LibertyVue Player is a media player only. You must supply personal media or a playlist from a provider authorised to distribute it.

Why are some categories or EPG details missing?

Categories and programme information depend on the data returned by your playlist or authorised provider. The player cannot add information that the source does not provide.
