Your playlist

Xtream Codes, M3U and M3U8 by link, or a playlist file on the device. On a phone, paste the message your provider sent and the form fills itself; on a TV, set it up from your phone.

  • Xtream Codes: live TV, guide, films, series, catch-up and the account's expiry date
  • M3U and M3U8 by link, with the guide the list names
  • Playlist files stored on the device
  • Up to ten playlists, switched from the home screen
  • Background sync on the schedule you choose
  • Lists of nearly 100,000 channels, films and episodes

Live TV and the guide

A guide of up to 14 days, as far ahead as your provider publishes it, that opens on what is on now. Pause a live channel and rewind up to an hour; start a programme from the beginning or watch it again where your provider keeps a replay.

  • Pause and rewind live TV, up to an hour
  • Watch again and start from the beginning, on channels with catch-up
  • Recordings, saved from your provider's replay once the programme has aired
  • Reminders, and follow a show to hear about each new airing
  • A second guide source for the channels your provider leaves empty
  • Guide times you can shift when your provider's clock is off
  • Channel numbers, the last channel and back to live in one press

Sport

A Sport screen built from your own guide: every match of the week on your channels, with the teams you follow first. Multiview plays up to four live channels at once, depending on the device, within your account's connection limit.

  • The Sport screen and a match centre
  • Follow a team, and be offered its next match
  • Multiview: up to four live channels, depending on the device
  • Your account's connection limit, never exceeded

Films and series

Posters, synopses, trailers, seasons and episodes, picked up where you stopped, with the next episode started for you.

  • Resume where you stopped, and the next episode automatically
  • Download films, episodes or a whole season, to internal storage or an SD card
  • Wi-Fi-only downloads, and a queue that resumes on its own

Search

One search for channels, films, series and the guide, that forgives typos, missing accents and words glued together or split apart. On Android TV, search by voice.

  • Search that forgives typos and accents
  • Voice search on Android TV
  • Guide results sorted into on now, coming up and watch again

No account to create and no Electron IPTV server: playlists, credentials and history stay on the device. Only anonymous usage and crash statistics are sent, and one switch in Settings turns them off.

  • A parental PIN and locked categories, with a recovery code
  • Adult categories flagged automatically, opened only after a confirmation
  • Hidden categories, removed from search too
  • Encrypted backups (AES-256) to a file you keep

Questions

Are all these features in the subscription?

Yes. There is no free tier and premium tier: every feature on this page is in every plan, monthly, annual or lifetime, and in the annual plan's seven-day trial.

Which features depend on my provider?

Catch-up, starting from the beginning and recordings need your provider to keep a replay of the channel. How far ahead the guide goes depends on how far ahead your provider publishes it. Multiview and downloads use connections from your account's limit.

What does Electron IPTV not do?

It provides no channels or playlists, does not read MAC portal (Stalker) accounts, does not run on Amazon Fire TV, and does not keep your data in a cloud: it stays on your devices, and moves from phone to TV over your home Wi-Fi.
