Troubleshooting & Setup FAQ

Running into an issue? Find quick solutions to the most common installation questions below.

Immediately after your purchase is successfully processed, our system automatically sends an email containing your Username, Password, and Server URL (Xtream Codes API). Please check your Inbox and your Spam/Junk folder. If you still cannot find it, contact our support team via WhatsApp or Email.

This happens 99% of the time due to a typo. IPTV credentials are highly case-sensitive. Ensure you have entered the Username and Password exactly as they appear in your email, paying attention to capital letters and avoiding accidental spaces at the end. Double-check that the Server URL is typed perfectly, including the `http://`.

A VPN is not strictly required to use our service, as our servers are highly secure. However, if your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is throttling your connection or blocking IPTV traffic (common during major live sports events), turning on a VPN will instantly solve the buffering or connection block.

Yes, you can install your playlist on as many devices as you like. However, every plan is strictly for 1 connection at a time. This means you can only watch on one screen at a time. If you try to watch on two screens simultaneously, the stream will freeze and loop. If you wish to watch on multiple screens simultaneously, you will need to purchase separate accounts.

To enjoy a seamless, buffer-free experience, we recommend a minimum internet speed of 15 Mbps for HD channels and 25-30 Mbps for 4K/UHD channels. If your device is connected via Wi-Fi and experiencing buffering, try connecting it directly to your router using an Ethernet cable for a more stable connection.
