Xtream UI Tips, FAQ’s and Fixes

Managing an IPTV service with Xtream UI can sometimes feel like you're trying to solve a puzzle in the dark. One minute everything is running smoothly, and the next, you're hit with a random error that leaves you scratching your head. It can be a huge pain, especially when you just want things to work.


First, What is Xtream UI?

Before we dive into the fixes, let's quickly cover what we're working with. Think of XtreamUI as the main control room for your IPTV service. It’s a web-based panel that lets you manage everything from a screen with buttons and menus, instead of typing in complicated code all day.

It's a very popular tool that helps providers handle all the important server tasks, like:

  • User Management: Keeping track of all your users.
  • Subscription and Billing: Managing who has paid and what they have access to.
  • Content Management: Organizing your live streams and video-on-demand (VOD).
  • Reseller Accounts: Setting up accounts for people who sell your service.
  • Server Monitoring: Watching over the health of your network and servers.

Your Go-To Xtream UI Fixes and Tips

Alright, now for the fun part! Here are some of the most common issues you might face with your XtreamUI panel and the simple commands to fix them. Just follow the steps carefully.

How to Change the HTTP Broadcast Port

Need to change the default port from 25461 to something else, like 8080? It's super simple. First, update the port in your panel, then run the command.

  1. Go to Manage Servers > Edit the server you want to change.
  2. Click the Advance Tab and change the broadcast port to your new number (e.g., 8080) and save.
  3. Now, run this command in your server's terminal:
sed -i 's/25461/8080/g' /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/nginx/conf/nginx.conf ; /etc/init.d/xtreamcodes

Finally, restart the services:

/home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/start_services.sh

How to Change the Admin Panel Port

Want to change the admin login port from 25500 to something more custom, like 2082? The process is very similar. Run this command to find and replace the port number:

sed -i 's/25500/2082/g' /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/nginx/conf/nginx.conf ; /etc/init.d/xtreamcodes

Then restart the services:

/home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/start_services.sh

Your admin panel will now be accessible at the new port!

How to Install a New Load Balancer

The automatic installer for load balancers can sometimes fail. If you added a new server and it's not coming online, here’s the manual fix.

  1. Delete the failed load balancer from your panel.
  2. Log into your main server via PuTTY and run these two commands:
sed -i 's/xtream-ui.com/lofertech.com/g' /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/pytools/balancer.py ; /etc/init.d/xtreamcodes
/home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/start_services.sh

Now, go back to Load Balancer Installation in your panel, add the new server's IP and root password, and click install. It should come online within a few minutes.

How to Fix an HTTP Error 500

This error often happens after a problem with your MySQL database. The quickest fix is to reinstall the main panel, which will also reinstall MySQL correctly.

  1. First, create a backup of your data from the panel settings!
  2. Run the main installation script again.
  3. When it asks if you want to remove the existing database, choose Yes.
  4. After the installation is complete, you can restore your backup.

How to Fix Your EPG Not Updating

If your Electronic Program Guide (EPG) is stuck, try this sequence first: Add the EPG > click "Force Reload" > edit any stream and select the new EPG > force reload again. If that doesn't work, run these commands.

First, back up your original cron file just in case:

cp /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/crons/epg.php /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/crons/epg_bak.php

Now, run the fix script:

wget "https://lofertech.com/xui/epg-fix.ph" -O /tmp/epg.php -o /dev/null;sudo rm -rf /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/crons/epg.php; sudo cp /tmp/epg.php /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/crons/; chown -R xtreamcodes:xtreamcodes /home/xtreamcodes/; rm /tmp/epg.php;

Finally, force the EPG to update:

sudo /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/php/bin/php /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/crons/epg.php

How to Update the Geolite2.mmdb File

Keeping this file updated is important for location-based features. You can use this command to get the latest version.

sudo chattr -i /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/GeoLite2.mmdb && sudo wget -q https://lofertech.com/xui/GeoLite2.mmdb -O /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/GeoLite2.mmdb && sudo chattr +i /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/GeoLite2.mmdb && sudo /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/start_services.sh

How to Clear Panel Logs from the Database

Over time, logs can take up a lot of space. You can clear them out to free up resources. Log into your MySQL database:

mysql -u root -pPASSWORD

(Replace PASSWORD with your actual MySQL root password). Then run these commands one by one:

use xtream_iptvpro;
TRUNCATE panel_logs;
TRUNCATE client_logs;
TRUNCATE stream_logs;
TRUNCATE epg_data;
exit

Quick XtreamUI Faqs

Here are some quick answers to common questions. These are some of the most popular XtreamUI Faqs we see.

  • What is the Xtream UI Default Login? Try admin / admin or admin / cxadmin.
  • Where are Xtream UI Backups Stored? The default location is /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/adtools/backups/.
  • What is my Xtream UI MAG Portal URL? It's usually http://Your-Server-IP:Your-Broadcast-Port/c.
  • Why is my M3U Import Not Working? This is often a database issue. Try restarting MySQL with sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart and then your panel services with /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/start_services.sh.
  • How do I fix high CPU usage? High CPU on a load balancer can mean you have too many streams online for its power. Try moving some streams to another server or rebooting it. On the main server, it could be a DDoS attack. You may need to investigate and block the problem IP address.

Solved the Panel Issues? Now Let’s Fix Your Streams.

Having a working Xtream UI panel is great, but even the best panel is useless without high-quality content. If you are struggling with streams that freeze, loop, or lose audio, the problem might not be your panel—it could be your source.

If you are an Xtream UI user, you definitely need reliable IPTV streams. That's where our DRM Panel helps you. It converts stable, high-quality MPD streams into HLS format that your panel can easily handle.
