what enters the playlist

Adult 18+ Blocklisted Geo-blocked excluded

Subscriptions

Each subscription is an Xtream login that streams the playlist and EPG. Click one to see its connection details (M3U / Xtream / EPG).

Username Password

Max connections Stalker MAC — set-top boxes log in by MAC alone; leave empty to deny portal access

Needs all six pairs, e.g. 00:1A:79:AA:BB:CC Note

Enabled

Off rejects the login outright — the client reports an invalid account.

Trial

A label only: clients show it beside the expiry date. Grants and restricts nothing, but needs an expiry date set.

Use proxy

On — every stream is relayed through the panel, which injects the channel’s Referer/User-Agent, hides the viewer’s IP and shares one upstream fetch between viewers. Off — the playlist hands out the original upstream URLs: no load on the server, but channels that check headers or block the viewer’s region will not play, and connection counting stops working.

Playlist appearance

Only how this subscription’s listing looks — not which channels it grants. Applied when the playlist is rendered, so the stored names, the EPG ids and this dashboard keep the originals.

Category language Translates the category names only. Channel names come from upstream and stay as they are. Name marker

Multiple categories — Xtream API Multiple categories — M3U An M3U line carries a single group-title, so repeating the entry is the only way to put a channel in two groups. Needed to see the catch-up category here.

Tariffs — channels this subscription can see (none = sees nothing)

No tariffs defined yet. Create one in the Tariffs tab first.

Tariffs

A tariff is a hand-picked channel bundle. Build its set with the filter tools (e.g. add all from Ukraine, then all in Ukrainian), then assign it to a subscription (Subscriptions tab) — which sees the union of its tariffs' channels.

Catch-up archive

Off: these channels play live only — no rewind, no replaying a finished programme. Live viewing is unchanged either way, and only channels that are actually being recorded have an archive to grant.

EPG sources

Guides are read in this order and the first source with programmes for a channel owns its schedule — so a source placed above guide.xml overrides the grabber, one below only fills gaps. Matched is the figure to watch: a source can download perfectly and still contribute nothing, because most public guides use their own channel ids.

Channel aliases

Maps a feed's channel id onto yours. Without one, a source that speaks its own id space imports nothing at all and reports no error. Pluto TV and Samsung mappings are derived from the stream URLs on every import and are not listed here.

Search

Grabber sites producing nothing what the iptv-org grabber got out of each site

Measured after every grab by comparing what we asked for with what came back. A site that scrapes nothing is otherwise invisible — its channels simply have no guide. Those are pushed below any working alternative when the next sync picks guide sites; a channel with no alternative still asks, so the site keeps being measured and recovers on its own.

Categories

Panel-wide: which categories exist. Every subscription shares this list, because it is derived once from the playlist. How a given client is shown them — the multi-category mode, the language, the name marker — belongs to each subscription instead.

Catch-up category

Gather every channel with recording on into one category

A channel stays in its own category as well, so it is in two at once — which neither Xtream nor M3U can say natively. Each subscription therefore decides whether it is shown this category, under Playlist appearance in its own settings. We hand the list out with this category first, but a name cannot force that on a client that re-sorts — and an emoji or [ both sort after Z in ASCII.

— multiple-category output is off for . Open it on the Subscriptions tab and set Multiple categories to something other than Off.

Only the channels with recording on gain a second entry, so the playlist grows by exactly .

Every subscription is set to show it.

Saving rebuilds the category sets immediately — clients pick it up on their next refresh, no sync required.
