Complete Guide to Honey Bee IPTV M3U & EPG TV Guides

When you activate your Honey Bee IPTV subscription, you will receive two primary connection methods: standard M3U Playlist URLs and Xtream Codes API credentials. Understanding how these formats work helps you get the most out of your player application.

What is an M3U Playlist URL?

An M3U (Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer 3 Uniform Resource Locator) file is a plain-text index that contains the direct stream addresses for every live channel and on-demand movie in your package. When your player loads this file, it parses the channel names, category folders, and logos into a clean visual menu.

What is Xtream Codes API?

Xtream Codes API is the modern, user-friendly alternative to long M3U URLs. Instead of copying a 100-character link, you simply enter:

• Server URL: http://line.honey-bee-iptv.site:port
• Username: Your unique account ID
• Password: Your secret access key

Electronic Program Guide (EPG / XMLTV)

Honey Bee IPTV provides automated 7-day electronic program guide data in XMLTV format. EPG tells your streaming app what show is currently playing, what comes next, program descriptions, cast lists, and start/end times synced to your local US timezone.
