Register the playlist at hotplayer.app/upload
From a browser, open hotplayer.app/upload. Set the source to Xtream Codes, supply the server URL, username and password from your activation email, and save.
The upload page is a website rather than part of the app, so a phone, tablet or computer is required for this step.

Back in HotPlayer, choose Refresh. The saved playlist is picked up straight away.

Playback time
The channel list, films and series load in. Select a channel to begin playback.
Installing HotPlayer on Fire TV Stick: what is different
The Fire TV Stick runs Fire OS, so HotPlayer comes from the Amazon Appstore — the Google Play version will not appear here.
If HotPlayer is not in the Appstore, Fire OS permits sideloading: enable Apps from Unknown Sources for a downloader app under Settings › My Fire TV › Developer Options.
Older Sticks ship with very little free storage. Uninstall unused apps before installing HotPlayer, or the download fails near the end.
