How to Set Up Xtream Codes on Firestick and Android TV (2025)

The following guide shows how to configure Xtream Codes to watch live channels on any device.

Xtream Codes is a platform used by thousands of IPTV services that distributes live channels and VOD content over the Internet in an organized and easy-to-access manner.

Often, live TV services provide these codes to their customers as an easy way to log in through a live TV player. This is especially common if a TV provider does not offer an M3U playlist.

This technology has dramatically changed the way we consume media, and Xtream Codes provides users with an easy way to access channels from our streaming devices, phones, and computers.

Background on Xtream Codes

At the end of 2019, a major police operation in Italy led to the shutdown of “Xtream Codes” operations, affecting a large number of IPTV services around the world.

The crackdown has highlighted the piracy issues associated with these unverified platforms, particularly those that distribute content without proper licensing.

There has been a lot of discussion on Reddit and several other tech forums about this shutdown. Then, in 2022, the IPTV management system was declared legal by an Italian regional court after finding no evidence of illegal actions.

Now that you understand this technology better, below is the process of setting up Xtream codes on Firestick, Android and any compatible device.

Yes, the Xtream Codes platform itself is a legal technology used by live TV services around the world. However, some services using this system may distribute content without proper licensing.

Always research IPTV providers before subscribing and only use 100% legal and verified services. The end user is responsible for content accessible with Xtream codes.

Are they safe to use?

Xtream Codes technology itself is secure, but security depends on the chosen vendor and configuration practices.

Use reputable live TV apps from official sources, avoid sharing your login details, and consider using a VPN to encrypt your connection.

Xtream Code Generator

When you search for “Xtream Codes Generator”, there are tons of apps available in the Google Play Store that claim to generate custom codes with free live channels.

One of these code generators apparently has over 50,000 downloads, but after reading the reviews, this app is clearly not legit.

Ultimately, it’s important to be wary of apps like these that attempt to capitalize on a popular term like “Xtream Codes.” We suggest that you never enter your service login details or any personal information into apps like this.
