An IPTV M3U playlist that stays up

An M3U file is a plain-text list of channel names and stream addresses. An IPTV M3U playlist is just that list delivered as a URL: your player fetches the link, reads the channels and shows them as a lineup. It is an open format, which is why an M3U line works in VLC, Smarters, TiviMate, SS IPTV and almost anything else rather than locking you into one app.

They deliver the same channels from the same line. An M3U URL is a single link containing your credentials; Xtream Codes splits it into a server URL, username and password. Xtream generally gives a better guide and category handling in apps that support it, while M3U works in more places — Smart TVs and VLC in particular need the link format. We send you both, so you can use whichever your player prefers.

No. Free M3U lists scraped from public sources are the reason IPTV has a reputation for buffering — they are unlicensed, unmaintained, usually dead within days, and the channels drop the moment anything popular is on. We sell a paid M3U line on licensed, load-balanced servers with a 7-day EPG and 99.9% uptime, backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Yes. The line carries streams at the highest bitrate the source provides — 4K and FHD on premium fixtures and flagship channels, with HD and lower fallbacks so a slower connection still gets a watchable picture rather than a spinner.

You can install the same link on as many devices as you like. What your plan limits is how many streams play at the same moment — from one up to five. Going over that pauses the newest stream rather than suspending your account.

Almost always a clipped URL. M3U links are long and end in a token, so copying from a message preview rather than the full text loses the tail and the player reports an empty playlist. Select the whole link and paste it again. If it still fails, message us and we will check the line in a minute.

Yes — the EPG is mapped across the lineup and downloads separately from the channel list, so give it a minute or two on first load. VLC is the exception: it plays the streams but has no guide of its own, which is why we suggest it as a diagnostic tool rather than a lounge setup.
