Quick Summary
To activate SET IPTV with your playlist, note the MAC address shown in the app. On the SET IPTV website, choose M3U link or Xtream Codes, enter the MAC and your login details, then select Send to my TV and Confirm.

Good to Know: SET IPTV Has No Channels
SET IPTV is a player only. It doesn’t provide or sell any channels, content or subscriptions. Your M3U link or Xtream Codes come from your IPTV provider.
After you install SET IPTV, the app is empty until you add your playlist. SET IPTV gives you two ways to do it: send your M3U link or Xtream Codes from the SET IPTV website using your TV’s MAC address, or type your Xtream Codes directly in the app. This guide shows both methods step by step, how to load the playlist on your TV and how to fix common problems.
What You Need Before You Start
- SET IPTV installed on your device. See how to install SET IPTV.
- Your IPTV login details from your provider: an M3U link or Xtream Codes (server URL, username and password).
- A phone or computer with a browser, if you use the website method.
Step 1: Find Your SET IPTV MAC Address
Open SET IPTV on your TV and go to the Playlists section (My Playlists). Your MAC address is shown in two places: at the top of the screen next to MAC:, and in the Add a Playlist panel under Your MAC address. The same panel shows your Validation / Edition code and how many days are left in your trial. Write the MAC down exactly as shown.
If you haven’t added a playlist yet, the screen shows No playlist found.
Method 1: Add an M3U Link on the SET IPTV Website
On your phone or computer, open the SET IPTV website:
https://setsysteme.com/set.app- Select the M3U link tab.
- MAC address shown on your TV: type the MAC from the app.
- Playlist name: any name you like, for example My IPTV.
- Playlist URL: paste the M3U link from your provider, in the format
http://server:port/get.php?username=...&password=... - Keep Active playlist ticked.

Method 3: Add Xtream Codes Manually in the SET IPTV App
Don’t want to use a phone or computer? You can type your Xtream Codes directly on the TV:
- Open the Playlists section and select Add manually.

SET IPTV Free Trial and Activation
SET IPTV gives each device a 7-day free trial. The days left are shown at the top of the My Playlists screen. When the trial ends, select Activate my device on the SET IPTV website and activate the device with the same MAC address to keep using the player. Your IPTV provider can also activate it for free with a 6 or 12-month subscription: see the SET IPTV subscription guide.
SET IPTV Playlist Not Showing? Quick Fixes
- Playlist doesn’t appear: close SET IPTV completely and open it again. There is no Reload button.
- Wrong MAC: compare the MAC on the website with the MAC in the app, character by character. Use the colons.
- Status not Online or no channels: check your username, password and server with your provider, and that your subscription is active.
- Use http://, not https:// in the M3U link and the server address.
- Xtream Codes don’t work: put only the server URL in Server address, not the full M3U link.
- Connections 1 / 1: your login is already used on another device. Close it there first.
- Trial ended: activate your device on the SET IPTV website.
Using a VPN? Use Your Provider’s VPN DNS
If SET IPTV stops working with a VPN, replace the server with your provider’s VPN DNS. It always comes with your IPTV login details and always starts with vpn. If your provider didn’t send one, contact them.
