- A player that accepts an M3U URL

Walking through the setup
Check you genuinely need it
Where your player supports Xtream Codes — as Smarters, TiviMate and most do — use that and shut this page, because Xtream brings the guide data along as well. This link is only for the players that turn a login down, VLC and Kodi being the usual two.
Copy it, and protect it
You will find it in the activation message, shaped http://server:port/get.php with your username and password tacked on the end. Treat it as a password: whoever holds that link holds your subscription.
Give it to the player
In VLC: Media, then Open Network Stream. In Smart IPTV: siptv.app/mylist. In Kodi: the IPTV Simple Client, link in its M3U URL field. TiviMate and Smarters accept one under M3U playlist as well, though on those two the Xtream login serves you better.
Direct it to the guide if needed
A few players hold the EPG separately. Same host, ending xmltv.php with your details attached, and we will pass it over any time a player asks for it on its own.
If it misbehaves
It takes an age to load
The file stretches to thousands of lines and a basic player reads the lot before it shows you anything. Either step up to one that groups by category, TiviMate or Smarters say, or ask us for an M3U cut down to the US channels.
More apps worth a look
Smart IPTV (SIPTV)
Smart IPTV ties a Samsung or LG set to its MAC, not a login. Read the MAC, send your 4KIPTVUS M3U at siptv.app, and handle the free-week activation.
Windows PC and Mac
Run 4KIPTVUS on a laptop three ways: the IPTV Smarters desktop app, your M3U link inside VLC, or the browser player that puts nothing on the machine.

M3U playlist: common questions
Why do the free M3U lists on GitHub die?
Being scraped streams reposted for all comers, thousands of strangers hit one source at the same instant. The host either blocks them or simply gives out, generally within days, and there is nobody to complain to. The pages circulating them are a well-worn malware channel besides. A paid playlist answers to your account alone, and there lies the whole difference.
