What is an M3U Playlist?
An M3U playlist is a plain text file containing HTTP stream links, channel category tags, logo icons, and track metadata. When loaded into an IPTV application, the player reads this index and presents your live TV channels in a categorized format.
With xtreamcube, you receive a dynamic M3U Plus URL that updates automatically whenever new channels or VOD titles are added to our cloud servers.
What is Xtream Codes API?
The Xtream Codes API is a modern authentication protocol preferred by players like IPTV Smarters and TiviMate. Instead of entering long M3U URLs, you simply input three credentials:
- Server URL: e.g.,
http://xtreamcube.site:8080 - Username: Your personal account identifier
- Password: Secure account authentication password
Xtream Codes API delivers faster initial loading times, automated EPG syncing, and categorized VOD poster graphics.
What is EPG (Electronic Program Guide)?
An EPG (Electronic Program Guide) displays upcoming TV schedules, show summaries, channel logos, and program start/end times. xtreamcube provides a 7-day XMLTV EPG feed updated hourly for all major USA, UK, and European channels.
