XC Login?

[CenturyBreak]

Greetings all!

Yes, I still haven't transitioned to v5... if it ain't broke, don't fix it... especially for those who are less technically inclined, shall we say...  

Here's my "if it ain't broke" dilemma: my IPTV provider is eliminating m3u and moving to XC logins exclusively. I don't see how that would work with NextPVR, and searching on this forum for "XC" doesn't work, obviously, as the two-character string isn't accepted.

I also tried searching "xtream", but the results seem to relate to Xtream Editor rather than an XC login.

I've also checked the Wiki, which appears to cover v5 only (understandably!) and didn't see anything related to XC.

Am I SOL or is this just a less-obvious feature in v5?

Thanks in advance!

It may not be obvious but this is what I found with a forum search for "XC Login"

Aha! As mentioned, I tried searching XC and Xtream, but didn't try XC login... which was what I was really looking for!  

Thanks.  

Look like it's time to migrate to v5... at least that topic is covered in the Wiki...

This may become an issue for more users, as it seems the accelerating trend is IPTV providers eliminating m3u in order to reduce what are apparently serious security risks... according to the providers, anyway...

Can someone shine some light on this issue for me. Is it really a security risk or what? What is so wrong with m3u Lists?
Thank you,

I figure it is because there are internet bots that scan IPTV m3u URLs with random username and passwords for the free IPTV lists. A similar thing could happen with xtream codes I guess but maybe they have more obfusgation and longer passwords?
