How to convert an Xtream Codes login to an M3U link
Only have Xtream Codes details but need an M3U link? How to build the M3U address from your server, username and password, and when to ask support.
Quick answer
An Xtream Codes login can usually be turned into an M3U link: take your server address, add get.php, then your username and password and the m3u_plus type, as shown below. If the link does not load, ask support for the exact M3U address.

Some apps (VLC, Jellyfin, Kodi) want an M3U link. If you only have the server, username and password, you can usually build it yourself.
The pattern
http://SERVER:PORT/get.php?username=USER&password=PASS&type=m3u_plus&output=ts
- Replace SERVER:PORT with your server address exactly as given.
- Replace USER and PASS with your username and password.
- Keep type=m3u_plus for channel groups and logos.
- Use output=m3u8 instead of ts if your player prefers HLS.
Guide link
The matching guide address is usually http://SERVER:PORT/xmltv.php?username=USER&password=PASS.
Keep it private
This link is your login. Do not share it.
IPTV Trends customers can simply ask @host4k for both formats.
