How to Update Playlist on TiviMate: The Practical Answer
An M3U file is a plain-text playlist: a list of channel names, each followed by the web address of its stream. Players read it top to bottom and turn it into a channel list, with groups, logos and guide IDs if the file includes them.

Nothing below needs technical skill or new hardware. Each step rules out one cause, and most people are done before they reach the end.

How to Update Playlist on TiviMate: Inside an M3U file
- The first line is #EXTM3U, which marks the file as an extended playlist.
- Each channel starts with an #EXTINF line: a duration (-1 for live), optional tags such as tvg-id, tvg-logo and group-title, then a comma and the channel name.
- The next line is the stream address itself, usually an http link.
- tvg-id links the channel to the guide, and group-title files it into a folder such as News or Sports.
Step by step
How to Update Playlist on TiviMate: Step by step
- Copy the details. Open your login message and copy the M3U link or the three Xtream fields.
- Choose the login type. In the player, add a new playlist or user and pick Xtream Codes or M3U URL.
- Paste and save. Enter the details exactly, including http:// and the port, and save.
- Add the guide. For M3U, paste the XMLTV link into the EPG field; Xtream logins usually find it alone.
- Let it load. Wait for the channel list and guide to finish downloading before browsing.
Which format to use
An M3U link delivers everything as one long list and leaves the player to sort it. An Xtream Codes login lets the player request each part on its own, which means quicker loading, tidy Movies and Series sections and a guide that fills itself in. Use Xtream wherever the player offers it and keep M3U as the fallback.
Lists of “free” codes and playlists circulating online are other people’s logins or unlicensed lines. They stop working within days and can point your device at servers you know nothing about. A login should come from the provider you pay.
Keeping a playlist private
Your M3U link and Xtream details contain your username and password in plain text. Anyone who has them can use your line, and every extra stream counts against your connections, so don’t post them in forums or screenshots. If a link leaks, ask your provider to change the password, which makes the old link stop working.
