Our own app, SurfPlayer, is for Android TV boxes, Android TV, Google TV and Firestick. To watch on a TV, we recommend the Onn 4K from Walmart (see how to set one up). On a computer, use any player that supports Xtream Codes or M3U, with the details below.

Have an Android phone or tablet? Get our new phone app, SurfPlayer Mobile, at streamsurfers.net/mobile. It updates itself automatically, and you never lose your lists or favourites.

Here’s how to watch on a Windows PC or a Mac, one small step at a time. You’ll install a player program and type in your details once.

Before you start, have these ready

•  Your computer, switched on and connected to the internet.

•  Your mouse (or trackpad) and keyboard.

•  Your welcome email (or WhatsApp message) with your username and password. Writing them on paper makes it easier.

•  Our server address: https://stream-surfers.net

•  About 15 minutes when you won’t be rushed.

Part 1: Install a player program

  1. Windows: click the Start button (bottom left or centre of the screen), type Microsoft Store and open it.
    Mac: click the App Store icon in the row of icons at the bottom of the screen (the Dock).
  2. Click the search box at the top and type IPTV player, then press Enter.
  3. Pick a player that says it supports Xtream Codes or M3U. Some are free; some charge their own small fee. Only download from the official store or the app maker’s official website.
  4. Click Get or Install and wait for it to finish. Then click Open.

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 click 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. Click 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.
  • 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.
