App Store link coming soon How it works

A compatible provider account is required. No channels, movies, series, or streaming subscriptions are included.

How Stream House works

Bring your provider. Stream House organizes the rest.

  1. Have a provider account

    You need an account with a compatible IPTV provider. Stream House does not sell provider subscriptions, and any fees your provider charges are separate from the app.

  2. Tap “Add Playlist”

    Enter your provider’s server address or its Provider Shortcut Code, together with your username and password. “Add Playlist” saves access to an account you already have — it does not create or purchase one.

  3. Browse and watch

    Live channels, movies, and series from your provider appear in one library. You can save several provider accounts and switch between them.

Setup

Your provider. A simpler setup.

Connect using your provider’s server address, or enter a Provider Shortcut Code together with your username and password. The code lets Stream House retrieve your provider’s connection details and visual identity, so you do not need to type long server addresses manually.

Option 1

Server address

Enter the server URL or host your provider supplied, plus your username and password. Stream House connects to that address directly.

Best when your provider gives you a server address rather than a code.

Option 2

Provider Shortcut Code

Enter the short code your provider gave you, plus your username and password. Stream House uses the code to look up your provider’s profile and fills in the connection details for you.

The Shortcut Code identifies your provider. It does not replace your username and password, and it is not a subscription.

Your provider manages its profile

Your provider manages the name, logo, colors, and streaming server addresses associated with its Shortcut Code. If your provider updates these details, Stream House uses the updated profile the next time it retrieves it.

Updates are not instant and are not pushed to every device at once, so one device may show a change before another.

What a Shortcut Code doesn’t do

  • It doesn’t include channels, movies, series, or a content subscription.
  • It doesn’t replace your provider username and password.
  • It doesn’t turn player features on or off. Downloads, the server selector, and other features are built into the app.
What does a Shortcut Code retrieve?

The Shortcut Code retrieves an encrypted provider profile containing setup information. Stream House uses the provider’s name, logo, theme colors, server addresses, and an optional playback User-Agent to configure the connection and presentation.

  • Display name and logo, shown inside the app
  • Theme colors
  • Streaming server addresses — the addresses of your provider’s streaming service, not Stream House’s own systems
  • Playback User-Agent (optional) — used for compatibility with your provider’s streaming service

The profile configures branding and connection details only. Encryption describes how the profile is delivered; it does not improve streaming quality or make every stream compatible. Which media is available, and whether it plays, still depends on your provider account, your device, the media format, and your account’s connection limits.

See the Privacy Policy for what is sent during a profile lookup.

Features

Everything in your account, easier to find.

What you see depends on your provider, the media itself, your device, and your account’s permissions.

Live TV, movies and series

Browse your provider’s live channels, movies, and series. Search by name or move through categories.

Favorites, history and resume

Keep favorites, see what you watched, and resume supported content where you stopped.

Seasons and episodes

Browse series by season and episode, with automatic next-episode playback.

Program guide and catch-up

See what’s on and watch earlier programs when your provider supports a guide and catch-up.

Accounts and access

Save more than one provider account, hide categories you don’t use, and protect app access with a PIN.

Audio, subtitles and preferences

Pick from the audio and subtitle tracks the media provides, and set language and playback preferences.

Platforms

Made for each screen.

The features above are shared. Some features are specific to a device, so not everything on iPhone and iPad is available on Apple TV.

On iPhone and iPad

  • Watch up to four live channels at the same time
  • Download eligible titles for offline viewing when your provider permits it
  • Picture in Picture with compatible playback
  • Google Cast to compatible receivers, with compatible streams
  • Adjustable subtitle text size
  • Playback in portrait and landscape

Watching several channels at once may count against your provider’s connection limit.

On Apple TV

  • Navigate with the Siri Remote
  • Browsing and playback controls designed for the TV
  • Your connected accounts, favorites, movies, series, and live channels

Multi-channel viewing, downloads, Picture in Picture, and Google Cast are listed for iPhone and iPad only.

For providers

Give your customers a code, not a server address.

If you run an IPTV service, you can offer your customers a Provider Shortcut Code. They enter it in Stream House with the username and password you issue, and the app sets up the connection using your provider profile — with your name, logo, and colors.

What Stream House operates

  • The Stream House player app
  • The provider-profile setup service that returns your profile when a customer enters your Shortcut Code

What you supply and manage

  • Your streaming service, its content, and your customer accounts
  • The name, in-app logo, theme colors, and streaming server addresses in your profile, updated through the provider-profile service
  • Giving each customer the Shortcut Code and their sign-in details

Your profile covers branding and connection details. It doesn’t enable or disable player features such as downloads or the server selector, and it doesn’t change which features your customers get. Stream House applies profile updates the next time the app retrieves your profile.

Shortcut Code FAQ

Questions about Provider Shortcut Codes

What is a Provider Shortcut Code?

A short code that identifies your provider’s profile. When you enter it with your username and password, Stream House retrieves your provider’s connection details, name, logo, and colors, so you don’t have to type a long server address. How setup works

Where do I get my code?

From your provider, together with your username and password. Stream House doesn’t issue codes to viewers or sell provider accounts.

Do I still need a username and password?

Yes. The Shortcut Code only identifies your provider. Your username and password are what sign you in to your provider account.

Can I connect directly using a server URL?

Yes. If your provider gave you a server URL or host, enter it in Add Playlist together with your username and password. A Shortcut Code is optional, not required.

Why did my provider’s logo, colors, or server addresses change?

Your provider manages the name, logo, colors, and streaming server addresses associated with its Shortcut Code. When it updates them, Stream House uses the new details the next time it retrieves the profile, so changes may appear on one device before another. Questions about the change itself are best directed to your provider.

Can a Shortcut Code unlock additional player features?

No. Player features are built into the app and are the same however you sign in. What you can watch, and whether a title plays or downloads, depends on your provider account, your device, the media format, and connection limits.

What should I do if my code is not recognized?

Check that you entered the code exactly as your provider supplied it, then confirm with your provider that the code is correct and still active. If your provider also gave you a server URL or host, you can sign in with that instead.

Support

Help when something doesn’t look right.

Most issues come from account details or from what a provider includes. These checks usually help.

I can’t sign in

Re-enter your sign-in details exactly as your provider supplied them, including capital letters and any symbols. If you use a Shortcut Code, check the code too, or try the server address if your provider gave you one. Make sure the account is active and hasn’t expired. If the details are correct, your provider can confirm the account’s status.

My library is empty or a section is missing

Stream House shows only what your provider account includes. Check whether you hid any categories, then confirm with your provider that your account includes live channels, movies, or series.

Something won’t play

Check your internet connection and try a different channel or title. If only some content fails, the stream may be unavailable from your provider or in a format your device can’t play. Watching on several devices or channels at once may reach your provider’s connection limit.

The guide, catch-up, or downloads aren’t available

The program guide, catch-up, downloads, and resume depend on what your provider supplies and permits, and on the device you’re using. If your provider doesn’t offer them, Stream House can’t show them.
