How to convert a URL to an M3U playlist
An M3U file is just a small text playlist that tells a media player where a stream lives. To turn a URL into an M3U file, open the URL to M3U tab, paste your stream links (one per line), and click Generate. The tool wraps every link in the standard #EXTM3U and #EXTINF structure and downloads a ready playlist you can open in VLC, Kodi, MPV, Winamp or any IPTV app. To give a link a friendly name, type Channel Name, https://stream-url on the same line.
How to convert Xtream Codes to an M3U playlist
Xtream Codes panels do not hand you an M3U file directly - they expose a get.php endpoint that builds the playlist from your login. The exact format is:
http://HOST:PORT/get.php?username=USER&password=PASS&type=m3u_plus&output=ts
The Xtream Codes to M3U tab assembles that URL for you from the server address, username and password you enter, so you never have to remember the syntax. Choose m3u_plus to keep channel names, logos and group titles, and output=ts for the widest device compatibility. You can copy the URL, open it directly, or download the finished playlist as a .m3u file.
m3u vs m3u_plus and the output parameter
The type parameter controls how much information the playlist carries. m3u returns bare stream URLs, while m3u_plus adds tvg-id, tvg-logo and group-title attributes so apps such as Tivimate and IPTV Smarters show a tidy, organised channel list. The output parameter selects the delivery format: ts (MPEG-TS) is the most compatible, while m3u8 or hls are useful for HLS-based players.
Tips if the playlist will not download
If a download returns a web page or an error, the credentials are usually wrong, the line has expired, or the panel only allows recognised player apps. Re-check the server address and port exactly as your provider supplied them, confirm the username and password, and try output=ts. If the panel blocks all non-player requests, copy the generated URL and load it straight into VLC or your IPTV app instead.

Open the Xtream Codes to M3U tab and enter the server address (for example http://example.com:8080), your username and your password. The tool builds the standard get.php playlist URL for you. You can copy or open that URL, or click Download M3U to fetch the playlist on our server and save it as a .m3u file for VLC, Kodi or any IPTV player.
Xtream Codes panels accept a type parameter. type=m3u returns a plain playlist with just the stream URLs, while type=m3u_plus returns an extended playlist that also includes channel names, logos (tvg-logo) and group titles. m3u_plus is recommended for almost all IPTV apps because the channel list looks complete and organised.
The standard format is http://HOST:PORT/get.php?username=USER&password=PASS&type=m3u_plus&output=ts. The output value can be ts (MPEG-TS, most compatible), m3u8 or hls (for HLS playback). This tool assembles that URL automatically from the fields you enter so you do not have to remember the syntax.
No. Credentials are only used to build the playlist URL and, if you choose Download M3U, to make a single one-off request that streams the playlist back to your browser. Nothing is logged or saved on our side. For maximum privacy you can copy the generated URL and open it yourself instead of using the server download.
This usually means the username or password is wrong, the subscription (line) has expired, or the panel only allows player apps. Double-check the credentials, make sure the server address and port are exactly as your provider gave them, and try output=ts. Some panels block any non-player request entirely; in that case copy the generated URL and load it directly in VLC or your IPTV app.

The output is a standard M3U / M3U8 playlist that works in VLC, Kodi, MPV, Winamp, PotPlayer, Tivimate, IPTV Smarters and most set-top boxes. You can also open the stream URLs directly in our free Web Player.
