How to Watch StreamSurfers on Linux Boxes

Here’s how to watch on a Linux box (a set-top box with its own built-in TV player), one small step at a time. You type in your details once.

Part 1: Open the player or portal app

1. Press the Home (or Menu) button on the box’s remote.
2. Open the box’s TV player or portal app (each box names it differently, for example “IPTV”, “Portal” or “Player”).
3. You don’t need a MAC address for this. If the app asks for portal type, choose Xtream Codes (or M3U URL).

Part 2: Add your StreamSurfers login

1. Open the player app you installed. Look for a button such as Add playlist, Add user, Login or a + sign, and press OK on it.
2. If it asks what kind of login, choose Xtream Codes (it may say Xtream Codes API or Xtream login).
3. If there’s a box for a name or playlist name, type anything you like, for example StreamSurfers.
4. In the Server box (it may say URL, Host or Portal), type https://stream-surfers.net exactly: no spaces, and with the colon and two slashes.
5. In the Username box, type your username. Type it exactly as it appears in your welcome email. Capital letters and small letters matter, and there are no spaces.
6. In the Password box, type your password the same careful way.
7. Press OK on Add, Save, Login or Next (each app words it differently).
   What you’ll see: the app loads your channels. The first time can take a minute or two. Then pick a channel and enjoy!

App only offers “M3U” or “playlist URL”? Use the M3U playlist link in Your connection details further down this page, and swap YOUR_USERNAME and YOUR_PASSWORD for your own. Xtream Codes is easier to type, so use it if you can.

If something goes wrong

• It says the login failed or the server is wrong. Check the server address is exactly https://stream-surfers.net (with a dash between “stream” and “surfers”), and check capital and small letters in your username and password.
• Forgot your username or password? WhatsApp us at 236-991-5203, email support@streamsurfers.net, or use our contact page, and we’ll send them again.
• Buffering? Restart your device and your internet router (unplug for 30 seconds). A wired connection or 5 GHz Wi-Fi helps.
• MAG box? MAG boxes work differently: send us your box’s MAC address on WhatsApp (it’s on the sticker on the back), and we’ll activate it and send you the portal address to enter under Settings → Servers → Portals.
• Still stuck? WhatsApp us at 236-991-5203, email support@streamsurfers.net, or use our contact page. We’re happy to walk you through it.

Take your time. You can’t break anything by pressing the wrong button: just press Back and try again.

• Samsung & LG Smart TVs: these TVs can’t install Android apps, so SurfPlayer and Downloader won’t work on them.

• Windows & Mac: use any player that supports Xtream Codes or M3U, with the details below. Windows guide.
• MAG boxes: send us your box’s MAC address on WhatsApp (it’s on the sticker on the back), and we’ll activate it and send you the portal address to enter under Settings → Servers → Portals.
