Xteve Guide PRETEXT Receiving this document or reading this means that you have purchased IPTV with Plex from us. For that we thank you. The configuration and installation of all of this is pretty straightforward and does not require expert knowledge of IPTV, Plex, or coding. We will cover the basics first and point you to the right direction if you want to further customize your IPTV configurations. XTEVE This is the software we will be using to integrate your IPTV subscription with Plex. It is a software that allows you to simulate a DVR, like the HD Homerun, but uses the streams from IPTV connections. Note tho, that Plex only allows the use of 480 Channels on their Live TV & DVR functionality. LET’S BEGIN, SHALL WE? REQUIREMENTS 1. IPTV Subscription logins, primarily your username and passwords. 2. A PC web browser. Do not use mobile, it’s pretty hard to configure this on mobile. 3. Plex Pass. This is a mandatory requirement for you to be able to integrate IPTV to Plex. 4. A little bit of patience.
