Get a playlist into your player
Every app asks the same two questions in a different order: Xtream Codes or M3U URL. A public playlist has no username, password or provider host, so you always want the second one. These guides point at the right field and skip the rest.
IPTV Smarters Pro
The most common starting point, and the one whose M3U option is easiest to miss behind the Xtream Codes screen.

The cleanest interface of the four. Built for a remote, with a proper channel guide once an EPG is attached.

Popular on Fire Sticks. Takes an M3U URL, but the login screen leads with Xtream Codes credentials first.
