If you’re still downloading massive .m3u files and uploading them to your TV via a USB stick, you are living in the past. Here is why the API is better.
Dynamic Updates
When we add a new VOD movie or update a broken channel, the Xtream Codes API pushes that update instantly to your device the second you open the app. An M3U file is static and will remain broken until you redownload it.
Smaller Memory Footprint
Instead of loading a 50MB text file containing 100,000 links into your Smart TV’s limited RAM, the API specifically queries only the categories you open.
