Sign in with just your email. There is no password. o3IPTV emails you a one-time code, and your first sign-in creates the account.

First launch opens “Welcome to o3IPTV”. Enter your email, select “Continue with email”, type the code from the email, then select “Verify code”. You can also open the link in the same email on the phone. If it fails, choose “Type the 6-digit code instead”.

#1

Sign a new device in by approving it from a device that is already signed in. It saves typing your email on a TV, a headset or a computer.

To sign in a new phone, choose “Approve from another device” and use the QR code and 8-character code it displays. To approve another device, open Settings > Account > “Devices” > “Approve a New Device”, select “Scan QR” or type the code, then “Approve sign-in” (or “Deny”).

#2

See every device signed in to your account and sign any of them out. One account can be signed in on up to 5 devices at once.

Open Settings > Account > “Devices”. “This device” marks the one you are using. Each row has “Sign out”, and “Sign Out from All Other Devices” clears the rest. On a 6th device the sign-in says “Choose one to sign out, and this device takes its place.” A notice explains if a device was removed.

#3

Every feature is included from day one. New accounts get 14 days free, no card needed, then you subscribe to keep going.

Nothing to set up. Settings > Account displays “Free trial · N days left”. When the trial ends the app says “Your free trial has ended.” You can subscribe from the same Account card.

#4

One subscription covers every device on your account and every feature in the app. It never includes media.

Open Settings > Account and select “Subscribe” (or “Manage subscription”). Choose a plan (monthly, 6 months or yearly), then “Subscribe”. “Restore Access”, “Refresh Status” and “Manage Billing” are on the same screen. Android bills through Google Play, iPhone and iPad through the App Store.

#5

One place for your subscription, profile, devices, sync and sign-out. Delete account removes your cloud data.

Settings opens with the Account card. It lists your subscription status, active profile, download folder and last sync time. Buttons include “Subscribe” or “Manage subscription”, “Devices” and “Manage on web”. The overflow menu has “Refresh status”, “Sign out” and “Delete account”. “Sync now” is at the bottom.

#6

Enter your Xtream Codes login and o3IPTV imports your live channels, movies, series and TV guide. o3IPTV is a player and ships no content.

Open Settings > Media Sources and select “Add Source”. The form opens as a sheet. Fill in “Source Name”, “Server URL”, “Username” and “Password”. Keep “Use Provider's EPG (recommended)” or enter a “Custom EPG URL”, then select “Import”.

#7

Keep more than one login and choose which one you are watching.

Use the source selector in the sidebar (“Manage Sources”, or “No Source Selected” when empty), or Settings > Media Sources > “Active Source”. Search, Continue Watching and favorites work across your sources.

#8

Check what a source holds and when it expires. Refresh it, swap its login or delete it from the same card.

Open Settings > Media Sources and the source card. It lists channel, movie and series counts, “Expires”, “Max connections” and “Connections: X of Y in use”. “Refresh” re-imports, “Renew” swaps in a new username and password and keeps favorites and Continue Watching, and “Delete” removes the source. Each asks to confirm.

#9

Use your provider's TV guide or point a source at your own XMLTV address.

Open Settings > Media Sources and select “EPG” on the source card. “TV Guide (EPG) Settings” lets you use the provider's guide or enter a custom EPG URL.

#10

Exclude whole Live TV, Movie or Series categories from a source. Excluded categories and their content leave the app, and including them again restores them.

Select “Manage Exclusions” on a source card in Settings, or from the category picker on Live TV, Movies or Series. Switch categories between included and excluded, or use “Exclude All” and “Keep All”, then “Apply and Refresh”. Only the main profile can change exclusions, and they sync to your other devices.

#11

Get told when your provider adds categories, and choose to exclude new ones automatically until you include them.

Home displays “Your provider added N categories” with Review and Dismiss, and category pickers mark new ones with a “New” pill. In the exclusions dialog turn on “Exclude new categories automatically” so new categories stay out until you include them.

#12

The app tells you when a provider account has expired, so a failing channel does not look like a bug.

A “Playlist Expired” dialog offers “Manage Playlist” or “Play Anyway”. A chip marks the source, and Home displays a banner, “<name> has expired”, that you can dismiss.

#13

If a source restored from your account fails to load, o3IPTV lists it with the reason so you can retry or remove it.

Open Settings > Media Sources. “Sources that need attention” sits at the top, with a reason such as “Sign-in was rejected” or “Server couldn't be reached”, and Retry or Remove.

#14

o3IPTV keeps your channels, movies, series and TV guide fresh without you opening Refresh.

Android updates your playlists and guide daily in the background. iPhone and iPad let the system decide, so a day can be skipped. Settings > Media Sources has “Notify me when they update”.

#21

Find channels as a logo grid or a list, with sorting and categories. Numbers sort naturally, so ESPN 2 comes before ESPN 11.

Open Live TV. Switch between “Grid” and “List”, use the “Sort by” menu (default order or Name A-Z) and pick a category, or “All categories”.

#22

Favorite and recently used categories sit at the top of the list, and categories your provider just added are marked New.

When your source has several copies of one title, such as other languages or qualities, pick the one you want and see its file size.

A title page displays “N versions available” and a picker with file sizes. In the player, “Change Version” swaps to another copy of the same title.

#37

Near the end of an episode a card offers the next one with a countdown, so a binge needs no clicks.

About 60 to 120 seconds before the end, an “Up Next” card appears with “Play Next”, “Not Now” and a 10-second countdown. When it ends the next episode starts. There is no setting to switch auto-advance off, but “Not Now” skips it for that episode.

Open a title you started and choose to carry on or begin again.

Opening a started movie or episode offers “Continue” or “Restart”, for example “You left off at 12:03 (40% complete)”. Series pages say “Resume Watching”.
