Step by step guide to prepare m3u file to upload for WebTV

Post by suduman »

I've been trying to setup WebTv in my V9 Super and V8UHD boxes recently. There are many guides in the net but most of them are not aligned with GTMedia boxes. However, I managed to upload a list properly to V9 super and make it work. For the benefit of others I thought it might be useful to write a small guide. Here it is.
  1. Create a file named custom_url.m3u.
  2. Add #EXTM3U as first line of the file.
  3. From the second line onwards you need to define channel details.
  4. To make the channel name appear on screen please add #EXTINF:-1, and then the channel name. Refer below example.
    #EXTINF:-1,MY CHANNEL NAME
  5. On the next like add the URL.
  6. Add .m3u8 at the end of the URL
  7. If it is a live channel add /live after the port number
  8. Likewise you may add your channels to the list
  9. Save the changes and copy the saved file to a USB PEN drive and import to the box. Now you can view your channel using WebTV.
  10. Please refer the sample format as guide.

Code: Select all

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,MY CHANNEL NAME 1
http://abcd.xyz:8888/live/931809/936350/99343.m3u8
#EXTINF:-1,MY CHANNEL NAME 2
http://abcd.xyz:8888/live/931809/936350/99842.m3u8
Wish this is useful.

It's wrong, there can't be that space between the lines

#EXTM3U
(Error)
#EXTINF:

Hello @suduman and thanks for your message, very useful!
I'm sorry to hijack this thread, but I have a problem in loading the m3u list of the channels I have registered and with a motorized antenna in the V8 UHD, INTO the V8 TURBO to be used in a system where I only have a big monitor without antennas ( both decoders have combo terrestrial and sat capabilities). I have also followed your instructions, but I cannot get the V8 Turbo to recognise and load the list from the USB thumb. Could you elaborate, if you can ( I know decoders are all different, so if you do not have them could be difficult! ) Thanks anyway
Regards
Alessandro
