A few things you should know before using this website
#2
Additionally to the above, here are a few things about the functionality of the website, which you need to understand:

1. This is an EPG service for linear TV channels in the first place, providing xmltv data.

2. The site was created in 2016 when M3U files contained a few dozen TV channels at best.

3. We added the M3U editor to the site as a courtesy feature to allow people getting EPG easier. We work on making it even easier ever since, however:

4. The M3u editor is not meant to be used for M3U files from illegal IPTV providers who try to stuff the whole Netflix inventory into a single text file.

5. The editor has basic VOD functionality and we are working on expanding it, because we understand the need of it, but it is not our priority.

6. Using M3U files 100-200 MB big, with sometimes over a million rows, is not the scope of this website.

7. Using such M3U files in an IPTV app is the dumbest thing you can do. In such apps it won't just take for ever to load these files, but also you will have to scroll through hundreds and thousands of titles to find what you want to watch, but probably you will never do that anyway.

There are solutions on the Internet, which will allow you to watch any movie in seconds with a search query and a button click and which will automatically put the latest episodes of your favorite show on the screen without the need of storing 200 MB text files on your TV. Search for them and use them!
