Setup guide
Set up IPTV on Android TV and Android boxes
Android TV and Google TV televisions (Sony, Philips, TCL, Hisense…), as well as Android boxes such as the Xiaomi Mi Box or the Chromecast with Google TV, are among the easiest devices to set up for IPTV. Everything is done with the remote, in a few minutes.
What you need
- An up-to-date TV or box running Android TV or Google TV.
- A Google account set up on the device, to access Google Play.
- A connection of about 10 Mbps for HD and 25 Mbps for 4K (see What internet speed for IPTV?).
- Your Vepix TV login details, received by email.
Which app should I choose?
- IPTV Smarters Pro: the most widely used, with a home screen that separates live TV, movies and series. Accepts Xtream Codes and M3U.
- XCIPTV Player: light and fast, ideal on less powerful boxes. Connects with your Xtream Codes details.
Step 1: install the app
- From the home screen, open Google Play (or the Apps tab on Google TV).
- Search for “IPTV Smarters Pro” or “XCIPTV”.
- Select the app, then Install.
- Open it once the installation is complete.
If the app is not available on your device, only download it from its publisher’s official website: [ADRESSE DU SITE OFFICIEL À COMPLÉTER].
Step 2: add your subscription
In the email containing your Vepix TV login details, you will find two ways to connect: an M3U link and Xtream Codes details (server address, username and password). When the app offers both, choose Xtream Codes: the programme guide and content categories are loaded automatically. The details are explained in M3U link or Xtream Codes: what’s the difference?
With IPTV Smarters Pro
- Open the app and accept the terms of use.
- Choose Login with Xtream Codes API.
- Fill in the fields: a name of your choice (for example “Vepix TV”), the username, the password, then the server address (URL) exactly as in the email.
- Confirm with Add user. The app downloads the channels, movies and series, then shows the home screen.
To use the M3U link instead, choose Load your playlist or file/URL and paste the link.
With XCIPTV Player
- Open the app.
- On the login screen, enter the username, password and server address you received by email.
- Confirm with Sign in. The content loads in a few moments.
Step 3: adjust playback
- In the app settings, increase the buffer size if the picture hesitates when a programme starts.
- If the picture stutters, try changing the video player or decoding mode (hardware or software) in the player settings.
- Turn on the programme guide (EPG) if it does not appear: it updates automatically with Xtream Codes.
- Prefer an Ethernet cable or 5 GHz Wi-Fi.
Common problems
“Invalid username or password” or connection failure
Check each field: no space before or after, capital letters respected, full server address with http:// and, if there is one, the port number. See the common errors in M3U or Xtream Codes.
The box runs out of memory
Entry-level boxes fill up quickly. Clear the app’s cache (Settings, Apps, the app, Clear cache) and uninstall anything you no longer use.
