Quick Summary

Xtream Codes API connects TVNado to your IPTV player using three credentials: Server URL, Username, and Password. It loads faster than M3U, organizes VOD properly, and provides a more stable stream. This guide shows you exactly how to enter those credentials in TiviMate, IPTV Smarters Pro, XCIPTV, OTT Navigator, and Perfect Player.

What Is Xtream Codes API?

Xtream Codes — also called the Xtream UI API or XC API — is a widely adopted IPTV communication standard. Instead of downloading a large static playlist file (which is how M3U works), Xtream Codes creates a live, authenticated connection between your player and the IPTV server.

Your Xtream Codes credentials consist of three things:

  • Server URL: The address of the TVNado streaming server (e.g., http://server.tvnado.com:8080)
  • Username: Your unique account identifier
  • Password: Your account authentication key

TVNado sends these three credentials to you via WhatsApp when you subscribe. Once entered into any compatible IPTV player, they give you access to your full channel list, VOD library, series, and EPG data.

The short version: Xtream Codes gives you a better experience across every dimension. Always use it when your player supports it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Xtream Codes API?

Xtream Codes API (also called Xtream UI) is a connection standard for IPTV services. Instead of a single M3U file, it uses three pieces of information — Server URL, Username, and Password — to create a dynamic, authenticated connection that updates automatically and loads channel lists, VOD, and EPG data far more efficiently than a static M3U URL.

Why is Xtream Codes better than M3U?

Xtream Codes loads channels faster because it streams the channel list on demand rather than downloading a large file. VOD and series are organized into proper categories with cover art. The EPG is more reliable. Connections are more stable because the server validates your credentials on each session.

After subscribing to TVNado, your Server URL, Username, and Password are sent to you via WhatsApp. Contact TVNado support at https://wa.me/13074242402 if you haven't received your credentials within 30 minutes of subscribing.
