Xtream Codes
Server, username and password. A full catalogue with posters, plots, seasons and EPG.
Xtream Codes
This is the most common format. Your provider gives you three things: the server address (something like http://example.com:8080), a username and a password. AICKO IPTV uses them to fetch live channels, movies, series and the programme guide separately.
This is the mode to prefer: it gives access to full metadata — posters, plots, structured seasons and episodes, EPG — where a plain playlist stays far poorer.
M3U playlist
Your provider gives you a single URL, usually ending in .m3u or .m3u8. You paste it into the app, which reads the list of channels it contains.
This format is simpler but more limited: what each section holds depends entirely on what the file declares, and many playlists carry no posters, no plots and no season structure.
Several accounts, an immediate switch
You can save several subscriptions in the app and move from one to the other without typing anything again — handy for trying a new provider, or for separating uses within a household. The active account is synced with your other devices.
AICKO IPTV supplies no credentials and sells no subscription. You must obtain your access from the provider of your choice and make sure you hold the rights to it.
M3U playlist
A single URL to paste. Immediate setup, metadata limited to what the file contains.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The questions we are asked most often about AICKO IPTV.
What is the difference between Xtream Codes and an M3U playlist?
Xtream Codes uses a server address, a username and a password, and gives access to posters, plots, seasons and the programme guide. An M3U playlist is a plain URL: quicker to set up, but often without posters or metadata.
Which format should I choose for AICKO IPTV?
Xtream Codes if your provider offers it: the catalogue is far richer. Keep the M3U playlist when it is the only access you have.
Can I save several subscriptions in the app?
Yes. Several accounts can coexist and you switch from one to the other without entering your credentials again. The active account is synced with your other devices.
Does AICKO IPTV sell IPTV subscriptions?
No, and it does not supply them either. AICKO IPTV is only a player: you bring your own subscription, taken out with the provider of your choice.
