Strong 8K Setup Guide for Every Device
Whatever you watch on, setting up Strong 8K follows the same idea: install a player app, enter the login we send you, and let the channels load. Pick your device below for exact steps.
Quick answer
To set up Strong 8K, install an IPTV player app on your device (such as IPTV Smarters Pro, TiviMate or IBO Player), choose the Xtream Codes login option, and enter the username, password and server URL we send you. Channels, films and the TV guide then load automatically, usually in under a minute.
Step 1
Choose your device
Each guide takes about five to ten minutes. Firestick and Smart TVs have their own detailed pages.
Step 2
Know your login type: Xtream Codes, M3U or MAC
Strong 8K supports three ways to log in. Your app decides which one you use, and we send whichever you need.
| Login type | What you enter | Used by | Our tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xtream Codes API | Username, password and server URL | IPTV Smarters Pro, TiviMate, XCIPTV, most modern apps | Best choice: loads channels, films, series and the EPG in one go |
| M3U playlist | One long link that contains your login | VLC, GSE Smart IPTV, Enigma2 and older apps | Works everywhere, but the guide may need a separate EPG link |
| MAC address / portal | Your device’s MAC address, which we register | MAG boxes and apps such as IBO Player on Smart TVs | Send us the MAC shown in the app and we activate it |
Tip: type your username and password exactly as sent. They are case-sensitive, and an extra space at the end is the most common reason a login fails.
Android TV, Google TV & Android boxes
How to set up Strong 8K on Android TV and boxes
Android devices give you the widest choice of apps. Most players are in the Google Play Store, so there is nothing to sideload.

- Search for your chosen player, for example TiviMate or IPTV Smarters Pro, and install it.
- Open the app and choose Add playlist, then Xtream Codes.
- Enter the server URL, username and password from your Strong 8K login.
- Give the playlist a name such as “Strong 8K” and wait for channels and the guide to load.
On an Android phone or tablet the steps are identical. If your device does not have the Play Store, follow our Downloader method instead.

Better streaming
Five tips for a smooth Strong 8K picture
Use 5 GHz Wi-Fi or a cable
A wired connection, or the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band close to the router, removes most buffering.
Check your speed
Allow about 15 Mbps per Full HD screen and 25 Mbps for 4K. Test on the TV itself, not your phone.
Keep apps updated
Player updates fix bugs and playback issues. Update the app before contacting support.
Clear the cache weekly
On Firestick and Android, clearing the app cache keeps it fast. Do not clear data or you lose your login.
Refresh the TV guide
If the guide is empty, use the app’s update EPG option or restart it.
