Watching Sky Glass IPTV on Roku

For the best experience, we recommend Amazon Firestick, Android TV or Google TV.

Understanding Your Login Methods

Sky Glass IPTV supports multiple connection methods to ensure compatibility with a wide range of devices and IPTV players.

Xtream Codes API (Recommended)

The easiest and most popular method. Enter Username, Password and Server URL — your player automatically organises Live TV, Movies, TV Series and EPG. Most modern IPTV players support this.

M3U Playlist

A universal connection method supported by many players. Select Add Playlist, choose M3U URL, enter a Playlist Name, paste the Playlist URL and save — your content downloads automatically.

STB Portal

Designed primarily for MAG Boxes, STB Emulator and selected IPTV devices. Open Portal Settings, enter the Portal URL, save and restart the app or device.
