Open the app, tap Add User, then choose Xtream Codes API (enter portal URL, username, and password) or M3U (paste your full playlist link). Add your EPG link, refresh it, and fix the time offset if the guide is not aligned. If it doesn’t work, remove extra spaces, clear the app cache, switch between Wi-Fi and Ethernet, turn off VPN, or change the video decoder.
