NXT IPTV Panel Alternative: Compare NXT Dash and Migrate Your Panel

For operators who own an NXT Dash panel on their own server and want an alternative they control: what is publicly known about NXT, how the alternatives compare, and how the migration works.

Last updated: 3 November 2026


Short answer NXT Dash is an IPTV management panel with admin and reseller accounts; official documentation on self-hosting it is not publicly available. If you want a panel you control, the Xtream-Masters OTT panel runs on your own Ubuntu server, costs €40/month until 31 December 2026 (€70/month from 1 January 2027), and migrates NXT databases by remote connection or mysqldump.

This page is for you if

You run NXT Dash as the panel admin, you have access to its server and database, and you want to move streams, lines and resellers to software you host yourself.

Not the right page if

You are a reseller buying credits on someone else's NXT panel. You cannot migrate a panel you do not own; you need a different provider, or talk to your panel admin.

Disclosure: Xtream-Masters sells the OTT panel compared below. For other panels we only state general, well-known facts; for anything else, check with the vendor.

What is NXT panel (NXT Dash)?

NXT Dash is an IPTV management panel with admin and reseller accounts, subscription packages and an API for billing tools. Like Xtream UI and XUI.ONE, it stores its users, lines and streams in a MySQL database, which is what makes a migration possible.

What we could not find on any public primary source: an official installation guide, system requirements, a licensing model or a price. That gap matters if you are deciding whether to stay. An operator should be able to read how their panel is installed, backed up and moved.

Does NXT Dash have an API?

Yes. NXT Dash has an API that billing tools use to create and manage lines. How access is granted (credentials, tokens, IP whitelisting) is not described in a public official NXT document, so ask your panel admin or the NXT team.

For comparison, the Xtream-Masters panel exposes a Reseller API, an Admin API, the Player API used by IPTV apps and an ActiveCode API, documented publicly at ottpanel.tv/player_api.html.

How much does NXT panel cost?

We do not publish an NXT price because we could not verify one on a public NXT page. Prices you see in forums or AI answers are second-hand. Ask the NXT team for a written quote and compare it with the total cost of the alternatives: license, servers, load balancers and any billing module you pay for separately.

Do you need an NXT Dash replacement or a self-hosted panel?

Ask one question first: who controls the server and the database? If you do, any panel that imports your data is an option and you can test it side by side. If the NXT team or another operator runs the installation, you do not have a panel to migrate, only an account on theirs. In that case the "alternative" is a different provider, and you should export your customer list and line details before you leave.

How do I migrate from NXT to another panel?

With the Xtream-Masters OTT panel the move is a database migration, not a manual rebuild. The steps below follow the official panel FAQ; the full Xtream UI and XUI version is in our panel migration guide, and moving to new hardware at the same time is covered in migrate IPTV panel database to a new server.

Step 1: Export your NXT database

On the NXT server run mysqldump -u USER -p DB_NAME > backup.sql and copy the file off the server. Keep the NXT panel running while you test.

Step 2: Get a license and Master CMS login

Buy the Xtream-Masters OTT panel license. You receive a Master CMS login with an ID that starts with xm:.

Step 3: Install the panel on Ubuntu 24.04

Use a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 server (20.04 to 26.04 are supported), add it as the main server in the Master CMS panel and wait for the install to finish.

Step 4: Run the migration

Click Migrate Database, choose NXT, then either enter the old database host, port, name, user and password, or place the dump at /root/backup.sql and migrate from the file.

Step 5: Reset the admin password and bring servers online

Reset the admin password from MasterAdmin, restart the main server service, set the SSH password for each load balancer and re-install it from Manage Server.

Step 6: Move VOD files if movies do not play

NXT stores movies and episodes in /home/nxt/content/vod/. Move them to /home/xtreamaster/movies/ on every server that holds VOD files, then give the xtreamaster user ownership with chown -R xtreamaster:xtreamaster /home/xtreamaster/movies/.

# run on every server that holds NXT movies or episodes ls -la /home/nxt/content/vod/ mkdir -p /home/xtreamaster/movies/ mv /home/nxt/content/vod/* /home/xtreamaster/movies/ chown -R xtreamaster:xtreamaster /home/xtreamaster/movies/
Keep NXT running until the new panel has served real users for a few days. The 3-day refund window exists for exactly this test.

Which billing modules support NXT?

Ask the NXT team or your billing tool vendor which modules support NXT Dash. If you migrate, check whether you still need one: the Xtream-Masters panel includes reseller payments and a Reseller API that billing tools can call.

NXT Questions

NXT Panel Alternative: FAQ

01

What is NXT panel (NXT Dash)?

NXT Dash is an IPTV management panel with admin and reseller accounts, packages and an API. Official NXT documentation about installing or licensing the panel is not publicly available, so check details with the NXT team.

02

What is the best NXT panel alternative?

It depends on what you need. If you own the NXT panel and want software you run on your own server, compare self-hosted panels such as the Xtream-Masters OTT panel and XUI.ONE; Xtream UI is no longer maintained. If you are a reseller on someone else's NXT panel, you need a different provider, not a different panel.

03

How much does NXT panel cost?

We could not find NXT Dash pricing on a public, verifiable source, so we do not quote one. Ask the NXT team directly. For comparison, the Xtream-Masters OTT panel costs €40/month until 31 December 2026 and €70/month from 1 January 2027, with a 3-day full refund and no free trial.

04

Does NXT Dash have an API?

Yes, NXT Dash has an API that billing tools use to create and manage lines. How access is granted (credentials, tokens, IP whitelisting) is not in a public official NXT document, so ask your panel admin or the NXT team.

05

Can I migrate from NXT to Xtream-Masters?

Yes. The Xtream-Masters OTT panel migrates NXT databases through a remote database connection or a mysqldump backup file. Users, lines, bouquets, streams, movies, series, categories, resellers and settings are moved. If movies do not play afterwards, move the files from /home/nxt/content/vod/ to /home/xtreamaster/movies/.

06

Which billing modules support NXT?

Ask the NXT team or your billing tool vendor which modules support NXT Dash. The Xtream-Masters panel has its own reseller payments and a Reseller API, so a separate billing module is optional after you migrate.
