Mediaspelare: IPTV setup, step by step

To set up Mediaspelare, open an IPTV player such as IPTV Smarters Pro, TiviMate or XCIPTV and enter your login details as Xtream Codes, M3U URL or MAG portal. Here is each method, step by step, and what to do if the picture buffers.

Before you start

Mediaspelare: what you need to set up IPTV

Four things, then a few steps in your player.

  • A compatible device: Smart TV, Fire TV Stick, Android (boxes, TVs, phones and tablets), iPhone and iPad (iOS) and MAG boxes.
  • An IPTV player app installed, such as IPTV Smarters Pro, TiviMate or XCIPTV.
  • A stable internet connection of at least 16 Mbps.
  • Your Mediaspelare login details, sent by WhatsApp or email after payment.

How does IPTV work?

IPTV delivers television over your internet connection, with no satellite dish or cable box. The ITU, the United Nations agency for telecommunications, puts it this way: “IPTV is defined as multimedia services such as television/video/audio/text/graphics/data delivered over IP-based networks”.

Mediaspelare provides access to the channels and the on-demand library; your IPTV player displays them. No player provides content on its own: it needs your Mediaspelare login details.

Your login details

Mediaspelare: what your login details include

After payment, you receive by WhatsApp or email everything you need for each login method. You'll only use one, depending on your player or box.

Xtream Codes
The server address (Xtream URL), your username and your password.
M3U URL
A single link that holds your whole channel list.
EPG URL
The address of the TV guide, if your app asks for it separately.
MAG portal
The portal address for MAG boxes.

Method 1 · the most common

Mediaspelare with Xtream Codes: step by step

An Xtream Codes login loads live TV, on-demand movies and series and, in most players, the TV guide in one go. It's the method to try first in IPTV Smarters Pro, TiviMate or XCIPTV.

  1. Open your IPTV player and choose to add a user, a profile or a playlist.
  2. Select the “Xtream Codes” login (depending on the app, it may be called “Xtream Codes API” or just “Xtream”).
  3. Give the profile any name you like, for example “Mediaspelare”.
  4. Enter your username, your password and the server URL exactly as you received them, with no space before or after.
  5. Confirm: the player loads the channel list, the VOD library and the guide. The first load can take a moment.
Method 2

Mediaspelare with an M3U URL and the EPG URL

The M3U URL is a single link that holds your whole channel list. Use it if your player doesn't offer an Xtream Codes login, or if it asks for a playlist by URL.

  1. In your player, choose to add a playlist by URL (sometimes labeled “M3U URL”).
  2. Paste the full M3U link: a link that's cut off or retyped by hand is the most common reason it fails.
  3. If the player asks for the TV guide separately, also paste the EPG URL you received with your login details.
  4. Save, then refresh the playlist and the guide if channels or listings don't show up right away.
Method 3 · MAG boxes

MAG boxes don't use an app: they connect to a portal. Tell the team you're using a MAG box when you order, and they'll tell you what's needed to activate it.

  1. Open the box's settings, then the portal settings.
  2. Enter the MAG portal address you received with your login details.
  3. Save and restart the box: it connects to the portal and loads the channels.

Devices and connection

Mediaspelare on Smart TV, Android and iPhone: the right connection

Mediaspelare works on Smart TV, Fire TV Stick, Android (boxes, TVs, phones and tablets), iPhone and iPad (iOS) and MAG boxes. Picture quality depends mostly on your internet connection.

At least 16 Mbps

That's the speed you need for a comfortable picture. Test it on the device you watch on, not just on your phone.

A stable connection

Stability matters as much as speed. On a TV or a box, an Ethernet cable is usually more stable than Wi-Fi.

HD, Full HD or 4K

4K is available on selected channels and titles when your device and connection support it. If the picture buffers, a lower quality plays more smoothly.

Troubleshooting

Mediaspelare: what to do when IPTV buffers

The most common problems and how to fix them. Setup help and buffering support are included: the team is there if nothing works.

Username or password rejected

Re-enter the username, password and server URL with no space before or after, and keep upper and lower case exactly as sent. The safest way is to copy and paste them from the message you received.

The picture freezes or buffers

Test your speed (at least 16 Mbps), plug the TV or box into Ethernet if you can, restart the player and your router, then lower the quality from 4K to Full HD or HD. If it keeps happening, message us: buffering support is part of the subscription.

No TV guide

Refresh the guide (EPG) in the player's settings. If you connected with an M3U URL, add the EPG URL you received with your login details.

A channel stopped working

Temporary channel downtime or updates can happen with any IPTV service, and the channel line-up can change. Refresh the playlist, then tell us about the channel on WhatsApp.

FAQ

Mediaspelare setup: your questions

Which IPTV app should I use with Mediaspelare?

Mediaspelare works with the common IPTV players: IPTV Smarters Pro, TiviMate, XCIPTV, IBO Player, Hot Player, Flix IPTV or SET IPTV. These are third-party apps that Mediaspelare doesn't own, and none of them provides content on its own. Tell the team on WhatsApp which device you use and they'll suggest a suitable player.

Xtream Codes or M3U URL: which should I pick?

Try Xtream Codes first (username, password and server URL): most players then load the channels, the VOD library and the guide in one go. The M3U URL is for players that don't offer Xtream Codes; add the EPG URL to get the TV guide.

What internet speed do I need for 4K?

You need at least 16 Mbps and a stable connection. For comparison, Netflix recommends “15 Mbps or higher” for Ultra high definition (UHD) 4K. The picture comes in HD, Full HD and 4K: 4K is available on selected channels and titles when your device and connection support it.

A subscription is for one household, on the number of devices agreed when you order: tell the team how many you need when you place your order. Your login details are personal: don't share them outside your household.
