An M3U playlist is a link to a list of streams. ORM Player reads it, sorts the entries into channels, films and series, and keeps the result on your device.
Steps
- Open the player and choose M3U playlist (or Settings, Add playlist).
- Paste the playlist URL. It usually ends in
.m3uor.m3u8. - If your provider gave a separate guide link (XMLTV), paste it under Guide URL. Many playlists contain it already, then ORM Player finds it by itself.
- Choose Connect. You see the entries being counted while the list is read.
Large playlists
Playlists can be tens of megabytes. ORM Player reads them in the background without freezing the screen, and only once: after that your library opens straight from the device and refreshes quietly every few hours.
Formats
- Live streams in HLS (
.m3u8) play directly. - Live streams in raw MPEG-TS are converted on the fly by our relay, because browsers cannot play them.
- Films in MP4 play directly; MKV films are prepared by the relay, with a choice of audio tracks and subtitles.
Tip: if your provider also offers an Xtream Codes login, use that instead. It loads faster and adds catch-up. See adding an Xtream Codes login.
