Quick-start Tutorial
1. Managing m3u file from your provider(s)
Figure 1: Provider tabs

You can use up to 3 different providers as source for m3u lists. Channels selected on each list will be merged onto a single output m3u list.

Figure 2: provider link

Optional. Enter the link to the m3u file your provider gave you in the input field. Then click on "Get .m3u" button to download the m3u file.

    Notes:
  1. the link will need the following text '&type=m3u_plus' to receive group-title information from your provider.
  2. the link will be saved in your browser and displayed the subsequent times you log in.
  3. depending on the web browser you use, if the provider link is 'unsecured' (ie. http and not https), the download might not work. You will have to manually copy the link to a new browser window to download the file.
Figure 3: File upload

Once you have the .m3u (or .m3u8, .ts) file on your PC, Click 'Upload File' button to upload it to the server.

    Notes:
  1. the file must not be over 130MB.
  2. Ex. of channel definition: #EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="France4.fr" tvg-name>="FRANCE 4" tvg-logo="https://domain/fr/France4.fr.png" group-title="|EU| FRANCE",FRANCE 4 http://domain:8000/xxxxxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxx

3. Electronic Programming Guide (EPG)
Figure 7: Electronic Programming Guides

The EPG tab gives you a personal link for xmltv epg guide containing hundreds of channels.

    Notes:
  1. Select EPG for each country you're interested in by clicking the checkboxes.
  2. Use compressed EPG for a much faster download time (if it works with your iptv player).
  3. You can browse channels by country or search by name.
  4. Do not share this link, it has a limited monthly amount of downloads.
Figure 8: List of available channels per country

EPG id : for channels to retrieve guide information, it must be the same epg id in your provider list. You can edit this value from your provider list (see section 1).

Select the text and press CTRL+C to copy it the clipboard or use button next to it.

If you are using another source for your EPG, you will probably need to change some epg ids. To know what value is needed, open the xmltv file (.xml) in a text editor and search for channels you need.

Here's an example of xmltv data:
...
<channel id="SuperChannel1.ca"><display-name lang="en">Super Channel 1</display-name><url>http://www.somesite.com</url></channel>
<channel id="SuperChannel2.ca"><display-name lang="en">Super Channel 2</display-name><url>http://www.somesite.com</url></channel>
...

4. Manage your custom groups

In this tab, you can add custom groups you need. By default, some groups are already available.

Custom groups will be shown in dropdown list (figure 10).
