How to Combine Multiple Xtream Codes Subscriptions into One Playlist
Step-by-step guide to merging channels from two or more Xtream Codes providers into a single Smart Collection in GridStreamr, no manual M3U editing required.
Responsible Use
Use GridStreamr only with content sources, playlists, metadata services, subtitle services, and AI providers you are authorized to use. You are responsible for complying with applicable terms, licenses, and local law.
Managing two or more Xtream Codes subscriptions is a common problem, great sports on one, better movies on another, but no easy way to watch both from the same app without switching accounts. GridStreamr's Smart Collections solve this with zero M3U file editing.
Before you start
- GridStreamr installed on iPhone or Android (free).
- Your Xtream Codes panel URL, username and password for each provider.
- Premium subscription for more than 1 Smart Collection (Free tier includes 1).
Step 1: Add each Xtream provider
Go to Settings → Sources → Add Xtream Account. Enter the panel URL, username and password for your first provider. Repeat for each additional provider. GridStreamr imports the full channel list for each.
Step 2: Create a Smart Collection
Tap the '+' button on the Smart Collections tab and give your collection a name, for example 'Family TV'. You can create the collection first or do it on the fly when you select your first channel.
Step 3: Add channels from each provider
Browse Provider A's live TV, long-press any channel or category, and select 'Add to Smart Collection'. Do the same for Provider B. Your Smart Collection now holds channels from both sources in a single unified list.
Step 4: Customise and share
Inside the Smart Collection, rename channels, reorder categories, and attach EPG data using 'Manage EPG'. When you're ready, tap 'Manage Shares' to generate a secure XTREAM URL for TiviMate, VLC, or Kodi, your actual provider credentials are never shared.
Combine your providers today, free to start.
1 Smart Collection free. Premium = unlimited.
