How to Use XCIPTV Player
I’ll use the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K for demonstration, but the steps apply to any other compatible device.
Go to the app library and launch the XCIPTV app.
This is what the XCIPTV player welcome screen looks like. The login panel is set to Xtream Codes API by default.
You can log in using your Xtream Codes API URL, username, and password.
If you want to log in with an M3U URL, click Settings on the bottom right.
You’ll also see other methods for loading an IPTV playlist, including EZOMETECH API, M3U URL, and FASTOCLOUD. Choose M3U URL.
Enter your M3U URL and click Sign In. Click Allow on the next screen if prompted.
Wait as the playlist loads your content. This is how the menu looks after logging in with your Xtream Codes API or M3U URL playlist.
You can see the main menu items, including Live TV, EPG, VOD, and Series. Click on each menu option to explore the library.
XCIPTV player supports multi-screen. This lets you watch two events simultaneously.
The Catchup menu allows you to watch recorded live TV programming that you may have missed.
Moving on to the next menu item, we get the Favorites tab. When you like a program, movie, or show, you can add it to your favorites watchlist.
To add a TV channel, show, or movie to favorites, long-press the remote until a star icon appears over the selected content.
You can also listen to the radio online on the XCIPTV player. Navigate to this section after loading your playlist with radio content.
Next on the menu is the Settings tab. This is where you personalize and customize your XCIPTV player to suit your streaming preferences.
You can set your app preferences, parental controls, player settings, clear the app cache, and more.
For instance, click on Player Settings to choose your preferred player between VLC Player and ExoPlayer.
You can go further and customize your preferred player for Live TV, VOD, Series, and Catchup.
