The two ways to sign in
Xtream Codes login
A server URL, username and password. Supported by most modern players and usually loads live TV, movies, series and the TV guide automatically. Recommended where available.
M3U playlist URL
A single web address that contains your channel list. Works in simpler players such as VLC. Some players need a separate guide (EPG) URL.

How to set up Nomad IPTV on IBO Player
IBO Player is a favourite on Samsung and LG smart TVs because you don't have to type long details with a remote: you add your Nomad IPTV playlist from a phone or computer on the developer's website, using the device codes the app displays.

Setup FAQ
Player and setup questions
Which IPTV player should I use?
It depends on your device. TiviMate suits Android TV, Google TV and Fire TV; IBO Player is a common choice on Samsung and LG TVs; IPTV Smarters Pro and XCIPTV work on many devices; VLC is a simple option on computers. Tell support your device and we'll suggest one.
What is the difference between M3U and Xtream Codes?
An M3U playlist is a single web address containing your channel list. Xtream Codes uses a server URL, username and password, and usually loads movies, series and the guide automatically.
Can I use the same player on every device?
Not always — each player supports different platforms. Check your device's official app store.
Does an IPTV player include channels?
No. A player is only software. You add your Nomad IPTV details to it to watch.
Do I have to pay for the player?
Some players are free, others charge for premium features or activation. Those charges are set by the app developer and are separate from your Nomad IPTV plan.
Can I watch on a smart TV without a streaming box?
Yes, if your TV's app store has a compatible player. If not, a Fire TV Stick or Android TV device plugged into HDMI is an easy alternative.
How do I update my channel list?
Use the Refresh, Reload or Update playlist option in your player's settings.
What if I change my TV or device?
Install a compatible player on the new device and sign in again. Remember that the number of devices streaming at once is limited by your plan's connections.
