M3U ou Xtream Codes : quel login IPTV utiliser en Belgique ?

When you subscribe you get a long M3U URL. Most modern players would rather have the three parts inside it.

What the M3U URL is

It is a single link containing your server, username and password as query parameters. Any player that understands playlists can use it, which makes it the lowest common denominator.

What Xtream Codes adds

The same three values entered separately unlock the provider's API: a proper electronic programme guide, categories, on-demand sections and, in some players, resume-where-you-left-off. If your player offers Login with Xtream Codes API, use it.

Converting between them

Our M3U to Xtream converter splits a playlist URL into server, username and password in the browser. Nothing is uploaded — the parsing happens on the page.

Which to pick

Use Xtream Codes wherever the player supports it. Keep the M3U URL for VLC, for testing, and for the occasional app that accepts nothing else. For Belgian customers on Smart TV Samsung/LG, Firestick, MAG or Android TV, Xtream Codes is almost always the better choice — the EPG works in your local time and the channel order is grouped by language (RTBF group, VRT group, sports, VOD).
