DL T6 and IPTV

Yes, that is correct. Highlight that URL and right click on it.
No, that 12 digit donation number has nothing to do with getting the Playlist.
When I said that I did it with your code, I just meant that I used your login and was able to get the Playlist as outlined.
the Playlist Loader used to be included in the Super Repo
A Repo is a Repository where many applications can be found, depending on the repository (some have different content)
Check that T6 thread again and about half way down it explains how to install the Super Repo onto the T6 thru Kodi
Then you would look in the Video Addons thru your Kodi and the Playlist Loader should be there. Then next is when you load that Playlist.
If after installing and the Playlist Loader is not there, let us know and we will find another way to get it.

Playlist Loader is nothing real special either. Not many bells and whistles so to speak.
What ever Player you try and there are many, and it works good on that T6, then thats the one you want
You can install apk files onto that T6 as well. That opens up some more options, like installing Players in apk format if a certain Player cant be found thru a Kodi repo or Kodi zip file.
EPG guides are possible with m3u, yes... Check my signature below and the first link seen there.

Ok...looks like so far there 3 channels..the first two and some random one way down the list in the Spanish section a sports channel. But when selecting most channels it just says working and does nothing, or others say something like unable to load channel check log..might trting another player work?
Should be getting the channels now,. Your Playlist m3u file is good.
I am gonna get the T6 hooked up here this morning.
I will report back with my findings.

The T6 and Playlist Loader is working.
Seems all the channels are working, the many that were checked were working.
Navigation is slow. When this happens the functions do not work very well. Hard to even get into the channel list while viewing a channel. If it buffers and freezes up for any amount of time then navigation in the menus or even changing the channel is impossible till the channel actually starts playing again.
Also to get to the channel list to change the channels is very slow in response, so slow that I do not even know which button I pressed to get there
Okay, so that Playlist Loader does not seem to work well, and maybe due to the Kodi 15.0 on this T6
Gonna test some other m3u Players next.
In Kodi Bar and in Programs and then in Android apps is where we find the ES File Explorer.
Here we see the external storage (USB device or sdCard) and other apps that your T6 may have onboard (installed) will also show up there.
I have the SimpleIPTV app showing up there.
Simple IPTV app needs an addition Player to view the channels.
It asks for MX Player. So I will see if I can get that installed.
MX-Player .apk download site...
To install the MX-Player apk.
Download it and place on USB drive.
Mount that drive onto the T6.
Then get back into Kodi Bar and Program and into Androis Apps
There you will see Appinstaller. Open it and choose USB
It will now scan for any and all apk files on that drive, let it scan.
I ran into a snag here.
The MXPlayer apk does not appear on my drive, shown in the T6 appinstaller USB menu. Other apk files I have on that drive are there.
Maybe a upload error. Gonna start again with a fresh download.

ok..thanks. so definitely the playlist loader probably the issue but the M3U is good? yea, only those 3 channels I mentioned came in the many others I clicked on did nothing or gave a error message. so, the plan is to use simple iptv with mx player? thanks
check my added info on my last post.
That MXPlayer install is giving me issues.
Right now I am trying the VLC apk install.. since I had that one already on my USB drive.
You can try that SimpleIPTV app and the MXPlayer install.
If you have that SimpleIPTV app on your T6 ... if not you will need to get that apk and install as I outlined in how to install apk thru the Appinstaller.
Google search SimpleIPTV apk and you prolly will find it.
You may have better luck with the MXPlayer download then I had
Meantime I am gonna continue with this VLC install and will report back.
You should have gotten channels to show thou, besides those 3
Every channel i turned to with the Playlist Loader did work, but navigation and things were just too slow.

Ok. Read the added post. For the app not appearing maybe the usb drive needs to be formatted? Has happened in the past to me. Also, sometimes tbe usb drive needs to have lots of memory left in it..happened also. Well if no other changes between now and then i will follow your instructions when i get home for the iptv. Thanks
still on it bud.
Your USB fixes are spot on... I did what you said already too.
I got side tracked with this VLC Player thou. It did load okay, but having trouble accessing it.
With all the info here thou, yes you can use all that and see what kinda results you get.
Important.. when you load an apk file, look for it after loading, in that same Program -- Android Apps menu.
If loading thru Kodi and a zip file or repo, then afterwards look for it in Video Addons
I think is how that works... I got so much things happening right now with this T6 testing I am getting con=fused
I will be alright thou and eventually will get some good results

You should just use Kodi with PVR IPTV Simple Client.
Type in the Playlist URL address in the PVR settings and use this address in the PVR EPG Guide settings;
hxxps://raw.githubusercontent.com/kens13/epg/master/guide_kens.xml
(*Change hxxps: to https: )
That will get you started. Then you can make a modified playlist to adjust channel numbers etc.
I also recommend Perfect Player(Google Playstore)

Ok. So, not sure how but now getting more channels..though slow functions. trying the pvr simple method. The pvr was already in the repositories when installed superrepo. Followed directions...tried iptv reset but the pvr keeps default ing to disabled. When i was done with settings rebooted but nothing happened. So for now the playlistloader is the only one working. I also foumd that i have to have the usb plugged into receiver else the playlist loader wont be seen. Is there a way to install the loader onto the receiver?
That Playlist Loader Player is installed thru Kodi , from that superRepo (or other repo).
You got that Player from the SuperRepo didn't you ?
If so then it should be found in your Video Addons area on the Kodi Bar
It is the m3u Playlist itself, that stays on the uSB device.
An m3u playlist, is simply a gathering of web address' with each specific to one channel. When you change the channel on your remote, the player gets the web address from that Playlist. That is really the only function the Playlist does, is to supply the addresses.
With some Players, you can enter the actual address that the complete Playlist came from (ie the Generic M3U file address from Rocket, the one you generated when you deleted your MAC and choose a Playlist). Then you do not need that Playlist in hand,the Player will connect to that address you generated.
That Playlist Loader will do that, I never tried that way with it thou. But it asks you upon start up weather you wanna connect thru URL or thru Local... with Local being the USB and Playlist in hand method.
It also has a place to enter an EPG URL , and that is what kens was mentioning.
I would retry using the PVR IPTV Simple Client which kens also mentions.
Be careful on which is the app thou, there are many apps with similar name... PVR Stalker, Simple IPTV, Simple TV, Simple TV Client, IPTV STB and the list goes on.
Ensure that it is ..... PVR IPTV Simple Client.
That Perfect Player kens mentioned may be worth trying to get installed too.
That one to get from Google Store.. you would need a web browser installed thru Kodi on the T6 to access google store, then the store installs the Perfect Player application direct onto your Kodi for you.
So you would need to get a Browser installed onto your T6 and Kodi. That prolly would need to be done thru an apk load or thru a Kodi repo that has a browser included. Or find that Player included in a Kodi Repo or addon (zip) form (google search may help with that)
The T6 is not the best when it comes to running apps or installs and such things with its older version Android Operating System and its older version Kodi.
Is generally why I prefer the apk download method on the T6 as appossed to the Browsers and things.
If the apk version of any app or Player can be found, then it is just a simple process to load that apk file onto the T6... (no messing around with Kodi or Browsers or errors or a confused T6)..... well lets not count my recent mishap loading an apk... lol ... I had a few corrupt file transfers
Some things are hard to find other then thru Google Playstore thou.
Perfect Player can be found online in apk form
That git hub link kens supplied will give you more then just channel identifier names, as you only see now thru that Player.

So, triee2 the simple iptv apk and mx player. Once simple iptv was loaded via the usb o opened it and asked for url which o entered the url from tje playlist from code checker for the m3u. Also downloaded mx player and when go to mx player it shows sda 1 folder and sd1 folder both say new. I click on it and just get a revolving signal but no video. Probly doing something wrong?? The pvr iptv simple addon just wont work either. I think might be that since still on kodi 15 . to ne continued
