Add your first source
Updated 16 September 2026
Add an M3U link or an Xtream login, in the app or in your account, and every device gets it.
You can add a source on any device, or on the web. Either way it reaches your other devices on their next sync.
In the app
- Open Settings → Sources.
- Choose Add source.
- Pick the kind of source you have and fill it in.
On the web
Open Sources in your AnyTV account and choose Add source. This is the easier route for a TV, because you are typing on a keyboard rather than a remote.
What each field wants
M3U playlist URL, the .m3u or get.php link your provider gave you. Paste it exactly, including any query string. Do not shorten it or run it through an editor.
Xtream Codes, three fields:
- Server URL, including
http://orhttps://and the port if your provider uses one - Username
- Password
Stalker portal, the portal address, the MAC address your provider registered, and the time zone the portal expects. All three have to match what the provider issued; a portal will refuse an unknown MAC.
EPG / XMLTV URL, leave this empty unless you have a reason not to. Empty means AnyTV uses whatever guide your provider supplies, which is right most of the time. See Add a custom EPG.
Then what
The first import takes longer than every later one. AnyTV is reading the whole playlist, grouping series, and matching titles to artwork. See What happens on the first load.
