How to set up Parrot IPTV on Android Phones & Tablets

Android phones and tablets are an easy way to watch on the go or test the service before setting up your TV.

What you need

  • An Android phone or tablet with a recent Android version
  • Wi-Fi or a mobile data plan (streaming uses a lot of data)
  • Your Parrot IPTV login details from support

Compatible player options

  • IPTV SmartersXtream Codes and M3U support.
  • VLCOpens M3U playlist URLs.

Install players from the Google Play Store.

Installation steps

  1. 1

    Install a player

    Open Google Play, search for your chosen player and tap Install.

  2. 2

    Open the app

    Open the player and accept any terms shown by the app developer.

  3. 3

    Choose a login method

    Select Xtream Codes login or M3U playlist, matching the details from support.

  4. 4

    Enter your details

    Type the server URL, username and password, or paste the M3U URL, then tap Add User or Next.

  5. 5

    Start watching

    Browse Live TV, Movies or Series once the content has loaded.

Where to enter your subscription details

After your trial or order is processed, support sends your login details. Depending on the player, you will use either an Xtream Codes–style login (server URL, username and password) or a single M3U playlist URL. Enter them exactly as sent — they are case-sensitive, and an extra space at the end is a common cause of login errors.

Basic configuration

  • Lower the playback quality on mobile data to reduce data usage.
  • Use Picture-in-Picture if the player supports it.

Troubleshooting

Video buffers or freezes
Use a wired Ethernet connection or a strong 5 GHz Wi-Fi signal, restart your router and device, and close other heavy downloads. HD streams generally need a stable 10–25 Mbps; 4K needs more. If buffering continues on several channels, contact support with the channel name and time.
Login failed or “invalid credentials”
Re-enter the server URL, username and password exactly as sent (including http:// and any port number). Check that your trial or subscription period has not ended and that you have not exceeded your number of connections.
