What is Xtream Codes / Xtream IPTV?
Xtream Codes is the de facto IPTV authentication standard. Instead of a long opaque M3U URL, you get three small fields:
server URL— e.g.http://line.royaliptv.online:8080username— your account IDpassword— the secret
Any smart IPTV xtream player (Smarters Pro, TiviMate, GSE) consumes those three fields and pulls live channels, VOD, EPG and catch-up via a single backend API.
Xtream Codes vs M3U URL — which is better?
| Capability | M3U URL | Xtream Codes |
|---|---|---|
| Live channels | ✓ | ✓ |
| VOD library | Partial | ✓ |
| Series library | Partial | ✓ |
| 7-day EPG | Sometimes | Always |
| Catch-up TV | Rarely | ✓ |
| One-tap login | Long URL | 3 fields |
| Survives URL changes | ✗ | ✓ |

Are Xtream Codes safe?
Xtream Codes credentials are like any other login — keep them private. If somebody steals your username/password they get free access to your subscription until you ask the provider for a reset.
