Android phone and tablet
On an Android phone or tablet you install the player from Google Play. With stable wifi or good coverage it works just like on a TV.

Step by step
With Xtream Codes (recommended)
- Open Google Play, search for the player and install it.
- Open “My order” on sofazo.com, find your order and press “Show” to see your server, username, password and M3U link.
- In the app, choose “Login with Xtream Codes API” (or “Add user” → “Xtream Codes”).
- Fill in the fields: name (anything you like, e.g. “Sofazo”), username, password and server URL, exactly as shown in “My order”.
- Press “Add” or “Login” and wait for the channels and guide to load. The first time it can take a couple of minutes.
With an M3U link
- Install the player from Google Play.
- Open “My order” on sofazo.com, find your order and press “Show” to see your server, username, password and M3U link.
- In the app, choose “M3U URL” (or “Add playlist” → “From URL”).
- Paste the full M3U link and give the playlist a name.
- Save and wait for the channels to load.
Common problems
Nothing loads or login fails
It is almost always a copy error: an extra space, a capital letter or an incomplete server URL. Copy them again from “My order” and check the URL includes “http://” and the port if it has one.
The picture stutters or freezes
Use an ethernet cable if you can, close other downloads and restart the app and the router. You need a steady 15–20 Mbps per screen.
It worked and now it doesn’t
Check your plan’s expiry date in “My order”. If it has expired, you can renew it from the plans page.
It works on another network but not on yours
Some internet providers block certain servers. Email us at info@sofazo.com with your provider’s name and we’ll help.
Fine on wifi, poor on mobile data
Mobile data speeds vary a lot. Also mind usage: an hour can use several GB.
