Add and manage playlists
Set up Xtream, M3U, Stalker or receiver sources and keep credentials up to date.
Options depend on your plan, profile, installed build and provider. Understand access. Screenshots use fictional demonstration data; a preview layout can differ slightly from a public build.
#Choose the correct source type
Use the type supported by the login screen and your provider. Xtream commonly needs a server address, username and password. M3U uses a full playlist URL. Stalker uses the portal information requested by the app. Receiver sources have their own connection fields. Do not paste a guide XML URL into the playlist field.
- Open Settings → Library & content → Playlist → Add Playlist.
- Choose the source type matching your provider’s instructions.
- Enter the exact address and credentials requested by that form. Keep query parameters in a supplied M3U URL.
- Save and allow the first import to complete. Check Live TV before adding another source.
#Xtream, M3U and Stalker fields
For Xtream, enter the server base URL including its port when supplied, then the provider username and password. For M3U, paste the entire playlist URL; its optional EPG URL is a separate XMLTV feed. For Stalker, enter the portal URL and the MAC address authorised by your provider. The displayed portal MAC may need to be registered by that provider; inventing or copying an unrelated device’s MAC will not create access.
#Connect an Enigma2 receiver
Choose Enigma2 receiver on the add-source screen. This connects to a receiver you control on your trusted local network.
- Enter Receiver address with its http:// address, for example http://192.168.1.27.
- Check Streaming port with the receiver configuration; it is usually 8001.
- Leave the optional XMLTV field empty if the receiver’s native EPG is sufficient. Receiver guide information and available channel logos are imported automatically.
- Connect and test a channel from an imported TV bouquet. The receiver must be reachable and have a free tuner.
This receiver integration supports WebIF without authentication on a trusted network. Do not expose WebIF to the internet or disable authentication on an internet-accessible receiver. Use another supported source type if your receiver’s security setup is incompatible.
#Switch, activate and edit sources
Open My Playlists to see saved sources and choose the main playlist. Activate decides whether its content participates in lists/search; Main chooses the one main source. Several can be activated, but only one is main. The three-dot action menu opens editing and other source actions.
- Open My Playlists and select the source you want to manage.
- Use Edit playlist to correct its address or credentials. If the URL stayed the same but the password changed, edit this existing entry rather than adding a duplicate.
- Save. Use Sync with cloud for account configuration changes, then Refresh playlist & guide if you also need fresh provider content.
- Return to the same source and confirm both its saved login and its channel list.
Initial imports can be large. A successful cloud sync means configuration was exchanged, not that all channels and guide programmes have finished downloading.
#Multi-host and receiver standby
Multi-host stores alternate base addresses for the same playlist, one per line. Only add addresses your provider says belong to that service. Release receiver tuner before playback is specific to receiver sources: it puts the receiver in standby, stops its local picture and can interact with HDMI-CEC. It does not cancel receiver recordings; wake the receiver yourself afterwards.
#Remove a playlist safely
Sign Out in this panel removes the playlist; it is not merely logging out of your email account. Deleting a source removes its local imported data. Other playlists are separate. Record the correct source details securely before removing anything. Clearing Android app data is much broader and is not a normal troubleshooting step.
