MAG or STB box

Players: Built-in portal

  1. Use the built-in system settings rather than a separate IPTV player app.
  2. ZynTV describes entering the supplied portal URL under Servers > Portals, then restarting the portal.

Ask ZynTV to confirm the portal and register the correct box MAC address before troubleshooting.

M3U, Xtream and MAG: what is the difference?

An M3U URL loads a playlist. An Xtream login uses a server URL, username and password. A MAG setup uses a portal URL with the box MAC address. Use the format your player supports and copy the credentials from your ZynTV order or account.

What if the playlist does not load?

Check that you copied the complete address and entered the correct player identifier. Reopen the app after saving the playlist. If the issue continues, send your device model, player name and error message to ZynTV support. Keep passwords and full playlist URLs out of public screenshots.

Before buying, compare the CAD plan estimates or read the one-month starter terms.
