IPTV Setup Guide: Get Started in Minutes

Setting up IPTV is simpler than most people expect. This guide gives you a clean, device-agnostic process that works the same on a Firestick, Smart TV, phone or Android box. Allow about five minutes from start to first channel.

Step 1 — Get your credentials

After subscribing, bunny-tv emails your access details: a server URL, a username and a password (the Xtream Codes API), plus an M3U link as an alternative. Keep this email handy — you will copy these three fields into the app.

Step 2 — Install a player

Pick the app for your device:

Install it from your device's app store like any other app. Beginners should start with IPTV Smarters Pro; enthusiasts prefer TiviMate.

Step 3 — Enter your login

Open the player, add a new playlist, choose "Xtream Codes API", give it any name, then paste the server URL, username and password. The app downloads your channel list, categories and the EPG (programme guide). If a player only offers "M3U URL", paste the M3U link instead.

Step 4 — Organise and watch

Browse live TV, sport, movies and series. To make it your own: hide categories you never watch, pin your favourite channels, and set the time zone so the EPG is accurate. Enable "remember last channel" for instant resume.

If something goes wrong

Two issues cover almost every setup problem:

• Nothing loads / "wrong credentials": a typo in the server URL, username or password. Re-enter them exactly, with no trailing spaces.
• Channels load but stutter: a network issue, not a setup issue — see our buffering fixes and confirm your internet speed.

For device-specific steps, see the universal install guide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does IPTV setup take?

Usually two to five minutes: install a player, enter your login, and the channel list loads automatically.

What do I enter to log in?

Either the Xtream Codes details (server URL, username, password) or a single M3U playlist link — both are emailed to you after purchase.

Why are my channels not loading?

Almost always a typo in the server URL or credentials. Re-enter them carefully and make sure your internet connection is online.

Can I use the same account on two devices?

Yes, up to your plan's connection limit. bunny-tv supports up to four simultaneous streams.
