Which format do I have?
Look at the welcome email or account page from your provider. It will contain one of these:
| You were given… | Format | Choose in Streamora |
|---|---|---|
| A server address, a username and a password | Xtream Codes | Xtream Codes |
One long link, often ending in .m3u or .m3u8, or containing get.php | M3U playlist | M3U Playlist |
A portal address and a MAC address (it looks like 00:1A:79:…) | Stalker / MAG portal | MAG / Stalker Portal |
In the app, open Add playlist (on the home screen when you have none yet, or under Settings → Providers), then pick the matching type. If your provider offers more than one format, Xtream Codes (marked "Most compatible" in the app) is usually the best choice: it loads faster than a big M3U file and brings movies, series and the TV guide with it.
Xtream Codes login
You need three things: Server URL, Username and Password.
- Server URL — the address only, including
http://orhttps://and the port if the provider gave one, for examplehttp://example-provider.tv:8080. Do not paste a full playlist link here. - Username and password — exactly as the provider sent them. They are case-sensitive, and a space copied at the end is the most common reason a correct login is refused.
http://host:8080/get.php?username=abc&password=xyz&type=m3u means the server is http://host:8080, the username is abc and the password is xyz.M3U playlist link
Paste the whole link into Playlist URL. It must start with http:// or https://.
There is an optional EPG/XMLTV URL field. Fill it in if your provider gave you a separate guide link; many M3U playlists already point to their own guide, in which case you can leave it empty. The TV guide article explains this in more detail.
Large M3U playlists can take a little while to load the first time, because the whole file has to be downloaded and read. After that, Streamora keeps a copy on the device so it opens quickly.
Stalker / MAG portal
Enter the Portal URL and the MAC Address your provider has on file for you.
- The MAC address is 12 hexadecimal characters, usually written in pairs separated by colons, for example
00:1A:79:12:AB:CD. The letters are A to F only — a letter O is almost always a zero. - Portal subscriptions are tied to that MAC address. If you move to a new device, keep using the same MAC address in Streamora, or ask your provider to update it.
- Portal URLs often end in
/c/or/stalker_portal/c/. Enter it the way your provider wrote it.
If the playlist will not load
- Check the details for typos, especially a missing port number,
httpversushttps, and spaces at the start or end. - Make sure the subscription is active. An expired or not-yet-activated account is refused by the provider's server, and no app can get past that.
- Try the same details on another device or app. If they fail there too, the problem is with the account or the provider's server, and your provider is the one who can fix it.
- Check the connection limit. Many subscriptions allow only one or two devices to watch at the same time. Stop playback on your other devices and try again.
If it still will not load, contact us and tell us the format and the error message you see. Do not send your password.
Your details stay private
Provider logins are stored on your device. If you turn on cloud sync, they are encrypted on the device before upload, so we cannot read them. See the privacy policy for the details.
