Setup
First-time setup questions live here: M3U vs Xtream Codes, per‑device installation, portal URLs and the fastest way to get from a fresh subscription to a working guide. If you're stuck at the 'add playlist' step on any player, this is where to ask.
Common setup problems
- ›M3U link loads channels but no EPG
- ›Xtream Codes login says 'invalid credentials' but everything is correct
- ›Which player should I use on Samsung Tizen / LG webOS?
- ›How do I move a subscription to a new device?
- ›MAC address binding vs portal URL — what's the difference?
