How to set up Xtream Codes login with TVPikoma
Spot the Xtream option in your player
In IPTV Smarters Pro the button reads Login with Xtream Codes API. TiViMate shows Xtream Codes once you press Add playlist. Other apps may use Xtream, XC or API login as the label. If all you see is a single playlist URL box, switch to the M3U guide.
Type the server URL
Write the complete address beginning with http:// and finishing with the port, as in http://line.example.com:8080. Add nothing at all after the port, not even a slash. This field alone accounts for most rejected logins.
Enter username and password
Copy both exactly from WhatsApp. Capital letters matter, so one letter in the wrong case blocks the sign-in. The profile or playlist name is free text, so pick something obvious such as TVPikoma or the name of the person who will watch.
Save and wait for the sync
The player now collects live channels, the guide and the film catalogue on its own. Because the guide address is contained in the login, there is no separate EPG link to add. The first sync usually needs a minute or two.
Organise what you see
Once the sync ends, open the live categories, which are sorted by country and language, and save the channels you watch to Favourites. TiViMate hides unwanted countries through Manage groups. Smarters can lock groups you want out of sight through Parental Control.
Reuse the login on another device
Type the same three details on the next screen in the house. A 1-device plan streams on one screen at a time, while 2, 3 and 5 device plans stream side by side. A relative who wants separate favourites can add the login as a second user or use their own login.
Keep the details safe and private
Store the three details in a password manager or keep the original WhatsApp message pinned. Anyone holding them can use your streams, so never post them in family group chats that include people outside your plan. If you think the login has leaked, ask support to change the password.
Swap players without losing anything
Because the account lives on the server, you can try a different player at any time. Install the new app, choose its Xtream option and enter the same details. Favourites and hidden groups belong to each app, so rebuild them once, but channels, films and your plan dates stay exactly as they were.
Xtream Codes login not working? Fixes for the usual problems
My player offers only an M3U URL box
The activation message also carries an M3U link for exactly this situation. It opens the same account, and the M3U playlist guide covers it in detail.
The login fails despite a correct password
Look at the server URL before anything else: a missing http://, the wrong port or a trailing slash cause most failures. Then confirm the plan dates, because an expired plan refuses every login.
A too many connections warning appears
Your plan allows a set number of simultaneous streams. Stop playback on another screen, or wait a minute for the old session to close. If it keeps happening, a plan with more devices ends the conflict.
The login worked yesterday, not today
TVPikoma plans never renew by themselves, so the end date may have passed. Also check that support did not change the password at your request. Send a screenshot of the error on WhatsApp and support can look up the account quickly.
Films load but the live section stays empty
The account is working, so the issue is usually the live list refresh. Pull down or choose refresh in the live section, or sign out and in again. If it stays empty, try the player stream format setting where available and tell support which device you use.
The film library takes minutes to appear
A catalogue of 120,000+ titles is large, and budget devices index it slowly the first time. Let the first load finish without pressing buttons. Later visits open far faster because the player keeps a cached copy.
The player rejects the URL format
Some players want the server address and port in separate fields, while others expect them joined with a colon. Read the labels on the sign-in screen. Where a separate port box exists, enter the address without the port there, and the number alone in the port box.

Xtream Codes login questions, answered plainly
What role does each part of an Xtream login play?
The server URL points the player to the machine that hosts your account. The username and password confirm that the account belongs to you and determine how many streams may run together. Combined, they let the player fetch channels, the guide, catch-up and films without any additional playlist or EPG address.
Is an Xtream sign-in better than an M3U link?
For most players, yes. The Xtream route places channels, films, series and listings in separate sections and keeps them refreshed automatically. An M3U link is a single long file that some apps open slowly. Save the M3U link for players such as VLC or Smart IPTV, which have no Xtream option.
Is an Xtream Codes login legal to use?
An Xtream Codes login is just a sign-in format, and the apps using it are legitimate software found in official stores. The real question is whether a service holds the rights to the channels it carries. The technology behind IPTV is lawful, and in the US the Protecting Lawful Streaming Act of 2020 was written to target operators rather than viewers. Treat this as general information rather than legal advice.
Should I share my Xtream details with relatives abroad?
Only inside your plan limit. Each login allows a fixed number of streams at once, so a cousin in another country watching at the same moment cuts off your stream on a 1-device plan. Families spread across countries are better served by a plan with more devices, and the details should never be posted publicly.
What does the API part of Xtream Codes API mean?
API stands for application programming interface, a standard way for apps to ask a server for data. With Xtream, the player sends your username and password and receives structured lists of channels, films, series and guide entries. That structure is why Xtream logins feel tidier than a single M3U file.
Can I change my Xtream password after activation?
Yes. Ask TVPikoma support on WhatsApp and they can usually set a new password for the account. Afterwards, update the password on every device that uses the login, because the old one stops working straight away. The server URL and username normally stay the same.
Can a MAG box use Xtream Codes details?
A MAG box signs in through a portal address linked to its MAC, not through Xtream details. Formuler boxes are different: MyTVOnline accepts either a portal or an Xtream login. If you own a MAG and prefer Xtream, ask support for the portal route instead, which suits that hardware.
