M3U URL: https://btsstreams.com/m3u – You’ll need this to get our feeds into the software on your TV, Streaming device, computer, smartphone, etc. You can use it as is, or you can customize the playlist creation and stream quality by using the options below.
M3U Options List:
- q= This is where you can set the video quality of the stream, abr (Adaptive Bitrate Streaming) is the default. If you have a poor internet connection, you can use mobile, or you can choose to only display the stream in hd (original source quality).
- s= Use this value to change how/what channels are included in the playlist. 1 (default) builds the playlist based on the events we have scheduled, each event becomes it’s own channel and is listed with the event start time and it’s title. This is the best option in your software doesn’t include a program guide (like the free version of TiviMate, along with most other free IPTV software). 2 builds the playlist only outputting channels that have an event coming up (this was the old default behavior). 3 outputs the complete channel list.
- t= With this option you can set how many days ahead we look for events, the default is 3.
example 1: https://btsstreams.com/m3u/?q=hd&s=1&t=7 This would create a playlist that would include all the events over the next 7 days with each event listed as a channel. The video output would be the same quality as the feed source (normally in High Definition).
example 2: https://btsstreams.com/m3u/?q=abr&s=2&t=2 This would create a playlist that will include any channel that has an event coming up in the next 2 days. This was the default of the previous version for the M3U script.
example 3: https://btsstreams.com/m3u/?q=abr&s=1&t=3 This would create a playlist that would include all the events over the next 3 days with each event listed as a channel. The video output would adapt and display the best picture quality for your internet connection.
example 4: http://btsstreams.com/m3u/ Would give you the same result as example 3.
EPG
I’ve included a basic program guide for the channels in the M3U File. By default it should be auto populated in your IPTV software when you enter the M3U info, but if it’s not then you can enter https://btsstreams.com/epg/ when prompted for a EPG URL. This step is totally optional.
