How to add a List

Before you start

Have what your provider sent you when you subscribed. It's usually one of these:

• An M3U address: a long link that usually ends in .m3u or contains get.php.
• Xtream details: a server address, a username and a password.

Not sure which you have? See M3U or Xtream?

Step by step

1. Open Streamary. The first time, it shows the screen for adding a List straight away. Later, use Manage Lists › Add List.
2. Give the List a name, such as "Home" or your provider's name.
3. Paste the playlist address. If it's a full Xtream address, Streamary splits it into server, username and password for you.
4. Pick a colour for the List's tile. It helps you tell Lists apart when you have more than one.
5. Select Save. The import starts right away.

On TV, use the device's on-screen keyboard. Typing a long address with a remote is tiring: if you can, copy it from a message on the TV itself.

What happens to your details

• Your username and password are kept in the device's secure storage and never shown on screen.
• The List's address is sent once, securely, to Streamary's service to find posters and plots. The service stores only a cryptographic hash of it, never the address.
• Video goes from your provider straight to your device.

More than one List

With two or more Lists, Streamary opens on a picker, like profiles on a streaming service. To change later, use Switch List. Each List has its own Watchlist and its own progress.

Got an error?

• "Couldn't connect": check the address and that your subscription is active. Try the playlist in another app or contact your provider.
• Wrong username or password: copy the details from your provider again, with no spaces at the start or end.
• The import is taking a while: that's normal for big playlists. See Importing a playlist.
