How to set up IPTV LEVEL UP on Chromecast with Google TV
Chromecast with Google TV and the Google TV Streamer run Google TV, so you install an IPTV player from Google Play and sign in with your Xtream details, like on any Android TV device. Older Chromecasts without a remote can't run apps; with those you cast from a phone player instead. Setup takes about 12 minutes.

Step by step
Set up IPTV LEVEL UP on Chromecast with Google TV
- 1
Install a player from Google Play
Go to Apps → Search for apps, find your player and install it. - 2
If needed, allow unknown sources
Open Settings → System → About and select Android TV OS build seven times. Then go to Settings → Apps → Security & restrictions → Unknown sources and allow Downloader. Install the player from its official address. - 3
Sign in with your Xtream Codes details
In the player choose the Xtream Codes (sometimes "Xtream API") login. Enter any profile name, then the username, password and server URL from your welcome email exactly as written, including http:// and the :port at the end. Save, and let the app download the channel list. - 4
Load the TV guide
Most players fetch the EPG automatically with an Xtream login. If the guide stays empty, open the app's EPG settings and press update, or paste the EPG URL from your welcome email. The first download can take a few minutes. - 5
Free up storage
Chromecast with Google TV has limited storage. Uninstall apps you don't use in Settings → Apps.
Troubleshooting
If something goes wrong
- My Chromecast has no remote and no apps
- That's an older cast-only model. Cast from a phone player that supports Chromecast, or upgrade to a Google TV device.
- "Storage full" warnings
- Clear the player's cache and uninstall unused apps; keep at least 1 GB free.
- Wi-Fi drops during matches
- Use Google's Ethernet power adapter, or move the router closer.
