FAQ: Server Configuration

What is the difference between Xtream Codes and M3U?

Xtream Codes is a dynamic API system with automatic updates, EPG integration, and advanced features. M3U is a static playlist file requiring manual updates. Xtream Codes offers better channel management; M3U is simpler to configure.

Can I use multiple servers simultaneously?

Eliaa Pro typically connects to one server at a time. You can configure multiple servers and switch between them, but cannot combine channel lists from different servers simultaneously.

How do I know which configuration method to use?

Use the method your provider specifies. If given an activation code, use that (simplest). If given portal URL, username, and password, use Xtream Codes. If given a playlist URL, use M3U.

Why do I need a port number?

Port numbers direct traffic to specific services on a server. البث المباشر servers use specific ports (commonly 8080) to handle streaming requests. Including the correct port is essential for connection.

Can I edit M3U files?

Yes, M3U files are plain text and can be edited with text editors. You can add, remove, or modify channels, logos, and categories. Save changes and reload the file in Eliaa Pro.

What if my server URL doesn't work?

Verify URL accuracy, check internet connection, test URL in web browser, confirm server is online, and contact provider for correct URL and server status.

How often should I update my M3U playlist?

Update when provider adds new channels, removes channels, or changes stream URLs. Xtream Codes updates automatically; M3U requires manual updates. Check with provider for update frequency.

Is it safe to enter my credentials in Eliaa Pro?

Yes, if using official Eliaa Pro from trusted source. The app encrypts credentials during transmission. Ensure you download from authorized sources to avoid compromised versions.

Conclusion

Server configuration in Eliaa Pro varies by provider and connection method. Xtream Codes offers advanced features with dynamic updates, while M3U provides simple playlist-based access. Proper configuration requires accurate credentials, correct URL formatting, and stable internet connectivity. Advanced users can optimize performance through DNS configuration, VPN usage, and multi-server management. Always obtain configuration details from authorized service providers and protect credentials appropriately.

This guide provides technical configuration information. Specific server settings and features vary by البث المباشر service provider.
