🚀 XUI.live 2.0: Our IPTV Panel Has a New Official Home — and Its Biggest Update Ever

We build XUI.live, the self-hosted IPTV control panel, and today we have big news on two fronts. First, XUI.live now has its own official home at xui.live, with complete documentation at xui.live/docs. Second, the 2.0 line has landed — and it is, by far, the largest release we have ever shipped: a modern interface, live dashboards with real history, a real-time world map of your connections, and a serious pass on security. 🔥

If you have followed our XUI.live tutorials here on IPTV Tools, this article is the one to bookmark. We are updating those guides to point at the new documentation, and everything below links straight to the page that covers it in depth.

🏠 XUI.live Now Lives at xui.live

To keep things clear for operators and search engines alike, the project now has a single, official address:

• 🌐 xui.live — the official product site: what the panel is, what it runs on, pricing and sign-in.
• 📚 xui.live/docs — the complete documentation, from a blank Ubuntu server to a panel serving subscribers at scale, including the full API reference.
• 🛠️ IPTV Tools (here) — where we, the developers, publish tutorials, walkthroughs and deeper how-to guides.

If you had an older bookmark, xui.live and xui.live/docs are the ones to keep. Anywhere you have seen us write about the panel, that is where it now lives.

🤔 What Is XUI.live?

XUI.live is a self-hosted IPTV control panel: live channels, movies, series, radio and 24/7 channels from a single catalogue, delivered as HLS, low-latency HLS, MPEG-TS and RTMP — one source, every player your subscribers already own. Subscriptions work as playlist lines, MAG set-top boxes or Enigma2 receivers, and resellers get their own panel and credit balance. When one server is no longer enough, load balancers are added from inside the panel.

The stack is bundled and pinned, so nothing depends on what the host operating system happens to carry: PHP 8.3, nginx 1.30.2 with HTTP/2, HTTP/3 and a dedicated RTMP instance, FFmpeg 8.0 and 7.1 with CUDA and VAAPI acceleration, MariaDB and Redis. Getting from a clean server to a running panel takes about twenty minutes ⏱️ — the installation guide walks through every step.

✨ What's New in XUI.live 2.0

Here is the tour. Each part links to the documentation page that covers it properly.

🎨 A Modern 2026 Redesign

The whole panel has been restyled to a current look, with every feature and workflow kept exactly as before — the appearance changed, not the behaviour. The logo was redrawn and modernised while keeping its familiar duotone identity, and the sign-in screen was rebuilt with an animated layout that follows your account's light or dark theme automatically. 🌗 If you want the short version of every visible change, it is all in the changelog.

📈 Live Dashboards, Now With History

The dashboard used to show only the current moment. It now carries time-series charts alongside the live counters: CPU, memory and disk I/O; inbound and outbound network traffic; and connections broken out as live streams, unique users and total connections. Each chart has a 1-hour, 6-hour and 24-hour range, and can show all of your streaming servers together or one on its own — so you can read the trend, not just the snapshot.

🌍 Connections by Location, in Real Time

The connections map was rebuilt as a hybrid. It shows who is connected right now, updating about once a second, with each country's connection count and its share of the total — and a LIVE / 1 / 3 / 7-day switch that opens the recent history. You can finally see exactly who is watching and from where, plus the context of the last few days. It sits on the same dashboard.

📡 Streaming That Reaches Every Device

XUI.live delivers four outputs from one source: HLS, low-latency HLS, MPEG-TS and RTMP. If you want to understand which one to use where — and how the low-latency path shaves the delay down for live sport and events ⚽ — we wrote a full explainer on streaming protocols, plus a page on outputs and playlists.

🎬 Content: Movies, Series, 24/7 Channels and Timeshift

Adding a film or a series is faster: episodes are matched against TMDB so season and episode numbers fill in automatically, series can be numbered well past episode 99, and the list shows a live percentage while anything is still encoding. The timeshift recorder was rebuilt for clean, gap-free recordings that play smoothly in strict players — see TV archive, timeshift and recording. Building 24/7 channels, importing from M3U or another panel and setting up transcode profiles each have their own guide.

If your streams come from a Flussonic source, XUI.live can hand each one a signed, time-limited token 🔑 — the Flussonic token authentication page has the exact endpoint and settings.

👥 Subscribers, Set-Top Boxes and Resellers

Subscriptions are managed as lines, and connecting a brand-new MAG box or Enigma2 receiver now works cleanly the first time. Group your channels with bouquets, sell them as packages and trials, and hand parts of the business to resellers and sub-resellers with their own credit balance — the resellers list now flags accounts that are about to expire. ⏰

⚖️ Scaling: Load Balancers, SSL and Geo Routing

When one server is not enough, you add load balancers straight from the panel, each reporting its own connections, CPU, memory and throughput back to the dashboard. Certificates are handled in the panel too: generating a Let's Encrypt certificate now shows every step in a live progress window, and a new safe-removal action reverts cleanly to the self-signed certificate — the full flow is on the SSL page. 🔒 To send each viewer to the nearest node, there is GeoIP and ISP routing.

🔔 Notifications by Telegram and Webhook

The alerting system sends real-time notifications to Telegram or to any webhook endpoint — Discord, Slack or your own service — with no email, domain or SSL required, so it works behind NAT. You pick exactly what you are alerted about from 33 events across servers, streams, subscribers, resellers, security and more, and each incident alerts once and clears itself. The notifications guide has the full catalogue.

💾 Backups to S3 and SFTP

Back up to Amazon S3, any S3-compatible storage, or SFTP, with a built-in connection test, scheduled uploads and configurable retention. It is all on the backups page.

🛡️ A Harder-to-Break, Better-Secured Panel

2.0 is, above all, a security release. Panel accounts can turn on app-based two-factor authentication, account passwords moved to bcrypt, and real-time restream detection flags suspected content theft while you can still act on it. The bundled web, streaming and RTMP servers were rebuilt on nginx 1.30.2 to close a critical vulnerability (CVE-2026-42945), and a broad reliability pass brought the panel fully in line with PHP 8.3.14. The security and blocking page covers two-factor, IP, ISP and country locking, and VPN or datacenter blocking.

🔌 A Fully Documented API

Everything the panel does is scriptable. The API reference documents the Admin, Reseller and public Xtream-compatible endpoints, with authentication, examples and status codes, so apps, billing systems and automation plug in the same way.

📋 The Full Changelog

The current build is 2.0.0 — build 2608134690 (August 2026). We keep a running, versioned record of every change — the redesign, the dashboards, the geo map, the SSL flow, the security work and everything else — on the XUI.live changelog. If you are deciding whether to update, that page is the fastest way to see what you get. ✅

🧭 Getting Started and Migrating

A clean server on Ubuntu 24.04 or newer is all you need. The install guide takes you from nothing to a running panel, then you licence the server and run through the first configuration. Already on an older XUI 1.5.x install? A dedicated migration tool moves your users, streams and settings up to 2.0 without data loss. 🔄

🤝 We Build XUI.live

XUI.live is developed by us here at IPTV Tools. We will keep publishing tutorials on this site that go a step deeper than the reference documentation — real setups, edge cases and the things you only learn by running a panel in production. The product itself, and its full documentation, now live at xui.live and xui.live/docs. 🚀
