Troubleshooting
Fixing "Invalid Username or Password" in Marinios IPTV
Quick answer
An invalid-login error almost always means one character is different from your activation email: a missing http://, a wrong port, an extra space, or a letter in the wrong case. Copy and paste the details where possible and check your subscription hasn't expired.
The problem
- "Invalid username or password"
- "Authorization failed"
- "Account expired" or "Account disabled"
- Login spinner never finishes
Likely causes
- Typing mistake in username, password or server URL
- Server URL missing http:// or the port number
- Trial or subscription has ended
- Wrong login type selected (M3U vs Xtream Codes)
- MAC address mismatch on portal devices
Step-by-step fixes
Work through these in order and test after each one.
1. Re-check the details
Compare every character with your activation email. Usernames and passwords are case-sensitive.
Remove any space before or after each field.
Make sure the server URL includes http:// or https:// and the port exactly as provided.
Confirm you chose Xtream Codes API login when using a username and password.
2. Check your subscription
Trials end 24 hours after activation.
Check the end date in your activation email or the player's account info screen.
Renew from our pricing page if your plan has ended.
3. For MAG and portal devices
Confirm the MAC address you gave us matches the device exactly.
Restart the portal after any change.
Check that it's fixed
- Sign in again and wait for the channel list to load.
- Open one live channel and one movie to confirm access.
