Frequently Asked Questions

What is IPTV?

∨
IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) delivers TV channels over the internet. You need a playlist URL (.m3u or .m3u8 format) containing channel links. This player parses those playlists and lets you watch channels directly in your browser.

Where can I find free IPTV playlists?

∨
Search for 'free iptv playlist m3u' online. Popular open-source projects like iptv-org and Free-TV maintain updated lists of free-to-air channels. You can also find playlists on GitHub, Reddit, and IPTV forums.

What is the difference between M3U and M3U8?

∨
Both are playlist formats. M3U uses ANSI encoding while M3U8 uses UTF-8. In practice, they work the same way — this player supports both. M3U8 is more common for HLS live streams.

Can I watch live TV on my phone?

∨
Yes. This is a web-based player that works on any modern mobile browser. iOS Safari and Android Chrome/Firefox all support native HLS playback.

Why is the stream not playing?

∨
Common causes: (1) The playlist URL may be invalid or expired. (2) The channel may require authentication. (3) The server may block playback via CORS restrictions. (4) Your browser may not support the video codec. Try a different channel or playlist.

Is my viewing private?

∨
Yes. Everything runs in your browser — no data is sent to any server. Your favorites and history are stored locally in your browser's localStorage and never leave your device.

Do I need to create an account?

∨
No. This player is completely free with no registration required. Just paste a playlist URL and start watching.

Can I save channels as favorites?

∨
Yes. Click the star icon next to any channel to add it to your favorites. You can also save entire playlists. Favorites are saved locally in your browser and persist across sessions.

How do I use keyboard shortcuts?

∨
Space/K: play/pause. Left/Right arrows: seek 10 seconds. Up/Down arrows: volume. M: mute. F: fullscreen. 0-9: jump to 0%-90% of the video.

What browsers are supported?
