Questions, answered.

A player for IPTV sources you already have. It reads M3U and M3U8 playlists, signs in to Xtream Codes panels, and connects to Stalker and Ministra portals — then gives you channel lists, a program guide, movies and series in one app.

No. TXIPTV does not provide, host or sell any media, playlists, channels or EPG data. You bring a playlist link, a portal login or an Xtream username from a provider you already pay. Channel names and artwork in screenshots are demo content.

One of three things from your provider: a playlist URL or file, an Xtream Codes server address with a username and password, or a portal address with the MAC address they registered. Add it once and it is saved.

The player is free to download and use, with no advertising. An account is optional and only needed if you want your sources synced between devices. Paid plans are planned for that syncing, not for the player itself.

Windows, macOS and Linux as a desktop app, plus a browser version you can install as a PWA. Android, iOS and smart-TV apps are in development and are not available yet.

Yes. Open the hosted web app at /app and sign in. It shares the same codebase as the desktop app. One caveat: browsers enforce cross-origin rules that desktop apps do not, so a minority of streams that play on the desktop will not play in a browser tab.

Because the stream does not send the CORS header browsers require before a page may read it. This is a rule the browser enforces, not a fault in the stream or the player. The desktop app is not subject to it, which is why the same channel works there.

No. The player works fully without one, and your sources stay on your device. An account exists only to sync those sources to your other devices.

Use whichever your provider gave you. An M3U link is a flat channel list. Xtream Codes adds movies, series and a guide through an API. Stalker and Ministra portals authenticate with a MAC address and load catalogs on demand. If you were given more than one, Xtream usually gives the richest result.

Very large playlists are expected. The channel list is virtualized, so groups, favorites and search work across tens of thousands of entries rather than a page at a time.

Either an XMLTV file you point at, or the schedule your portal already exposes. Both feed the same guide: what is on now in the channel list, and a timeline under the player.

Usually the guide identifies channels by a different id than your playlist uses, or the times are in another timezone. Both are adjustable in settings — channels can be mapped by hand, and the guide has a display offset.

On your device. The desktop app keeps them in a local database, and the browser version keeps them in the browser storage. Without an account nothing is uploaded to us.

Requests go to the provider you configured. If you create an account and turn on syncing, your saved sources are stored encrypted so they can reach your other devices. The full detail is in the privacy policy.

The player is, in the same way any media player is. What you watch through it is your responsibility: you are accountable for the sources you add and for complying with the law where you live.
