These often make IPTV more stable, depending on your internet provider and location.

An emulator modelled on the MAG box, which gives the feel of a real set-top box. With Smart STB you get a stable view of all channels, and everything is sorted in order.

The app has a 7-day trial period. After that we recommend buying the app for 270 SEK.

Start by connecting the network (Ethernet) cable, so that you get the correct MAC address and avoid lag. IPTV should always run on a cable.

4. Play the film or series you had playback problems with.

VLC is a background app that helps play formats for audio, video and subtitles that may not work in the built-in player in MYTVOnline. This is not unusual, since there are thousands of formats. This is one way to make playback work.

Use this guide to convert your M3U link into XC (Xtream Codes) format. This format is required in apps such as TiviMate, MYTVOnline+, IPTV Smarters and Smart STB.

This is how your M3U link looks

http://example.com:8080/get.php?username=test123&password=pass123&type=m3u_plus&output=ts

Replace:

• http://example.com:8080 with your server domain.
• test123 is your USERNAME and pass123 your PASSWORD. Replace them with the login details from your order email.

Convert your M3U link to XC format

Take the same details from your M3U link and write them like this:

• URL: http://example.com:8080
• Username: test123
• Password: pass123

This is the format most IPTV apps ask for when you log in.

Example

If your M3U link looks like this:

http://example.com:8080/get.php?username=test123&password=pass123&type=m3u_plus&output=ts

then your XC login details are:

• URL: http://example.com:8080
• Username: test123
• Password: pass123

Make an EPG link from your M3U link

M3U link:

http://example.com:8080/get.php?username=test123&password=pass123&type=m3u_plus&output=ts

EPG link:

http://example.com:8080/xmltv.php?username=test123&password=pass123

We do not provide support for these boxes, as they are outdated and Infomir blocks IPTV.

1. Go to Settings and then System Settings.
2. Go down to Software Update, press OK and then the red button to update the software. Wait a few minutes and the box restarts.
3. Go to Settings and then System Settings.
4. Go to Video, change to 1080p and 1920×1080, press OK and go back. Skip this step on the MAG256, which detects this by itself.
5. Go to Servers.
6. Go to General, enter pool.ntp.org, press OK and go back.
7. Press Portals.
8. On the first portal, enter: Portal Name: IPTV Next. Portal URL: given when you ask by email. You do not need to fill in the other portals. Press OK to save and go back.
9. Go to Advanced Settings and change the time zone to Europe/Stockholm, so that the EPG works. Press OK to save.

Then go back until you are out. The box says it needs to restart to use the new settings. Let it restart. You now enter the IPTV Next portal. Before you start watching TV, do one last thing: go right until you reach Settings, then Advanced Settings, and change Buffer Size from 0 to 15. Go down the list and press OK.

The MAC address of the box must be activated with us before you can access the portal. Write to us if your MAC address is not activated.

Now you can start watching TV.
