Xtream Codes
Three values: server, username and password. The app asks the server for channels by category, movies, series by season and the programme guide, each on demand. Updates are instant.

One file with every link at once. Fine for simple playlists, but the guide and title details depend on what the provider adds to the file.
Which should you choose?
