v8UHD iptv problem

Post by rutan »

I have a V8uhd. I cannot load a m3u file for IPTV. I have tried m3u, m3u8, small files, large files, to no avail. It always says no data when I tried to load a m3u file. I am using latest firmware V220. I know that wifi network is working because youtube works. I am loading filenames called custom_url.m3u and custom_url.m3u8 but neither is recognized. Could you send me a sample file that works with V8UHD?
thanks.

Here is a template with just 1 link, Unrar the file and load the m3u8 to your USB. Turn Off the unit, load the USB to your UHD

Menu

Tools

Upgrade by USB

Upgrade Mode (change to Web TV)

It should show your file on Upgrade File

Start

Wait until it finished (will re-boot)

Go to WebTV green icon

Just Google on your computer

First:

showing file extension on windows

This will allow your computer to show the file extension .m3u

Then,

renaming a file name in windows

You should be able to do it.

the v8uhd is not Android platform, so you can not intall any other firmware.

You do not need an app, the IPTV is put in WEBTV custom_url.cfg and not the compressed custom_url.rar that the file inside is badly made and is not recognized by the V8UHD, it works perfectly if you have an extension and that the file does not exceed the 250kb, if it is larger, I recommend Xtream, but it has stopped working in all satellite decos since Youtube has been working, it will be a coincidence, but it is reality
