In this how to, we want to explain how to use different connections on Formuler boxes and IPTV url`s you get from VooIPTV.
First of all, one small Info for potential new buyers and owners of Formuler Boxes.
- Formuler is only Manufacturer of Formuler Boxes and has nothing to do with subscriptions or any online streams.
- Formuler Boxes are sold without any 3th content or subscriptions.
- To get, install and use IPTV subscriptions is only user responsibility. We highly recommend our server VooIPTV to get the best high quality IPTV experience.
Formuler Z – S Boxes and Mytvonline App, works with following URL`s and Subscriptions:
- Portal/Stalker (with registered MAC/ID on VooIPTV side).
- Xtreme Codes Api (short XC) with login.
- M3U Playlists.
Stalker Middleware:
Stalker servers deliver content from your IPTV/OTT/VOD providers who use Stalker Middleware. If one of VooIPTV team speaks about MAG Connection and MAC registering, he means Stalker.
This kind of connection is in most cases in use and deliver very good results. So, when you hear/read MAC/ID registering or portal, we mean stalker connection.
Xtreme Codes Api:
Xtreme Codes deliver content from IPTV/OTT/VOD VooIPTV who use Xtreme Codes. Works good like Stalker, the MAC/ID registering is not necessary but you have to use your login data.
M3U:
The common use of this file format is for combining streaming links in one single file that runs as one single playlist. That is why it is commonly used by IPTV services/providers.
