Generate M3U Playlist

JioTV Go offers a convenient M3U playlist endpoint to enhance your IPTV experience. Simply follow these steps:

  1. Copy and paste the following URL into your IPTV player:

    http://localhost:5001/playlist.m3u

  2. If you desire a specific quality, append the q= query parameter:

    http://localhost:5001/playlist.m3u?q=high

    Available options for q include low, medium, high, or their shorthand forms l, m, h.

  3. If you would like split category on M3U playlist, append the c=split query parameter:

    http://localhost:5001/playlist.m3u?c=split

    This will split the playlist into categories like Movie - Kannada, Movie - Malayalam, News - English, etc.

  4. If you would like to filter only specific languages on M3U playlist, append the l=Tamil,English,Malayalam (comma-separated) query parameter:

    http://localhost:5001/playlist.m3u?l=Tamil,English,Bengali

    This will filter only the specified languages (Tamil, English and Bengali).

    The playlist will be split into categories like Movies, Enterntainment, News, Music, etc. but will only contain channels in the specified languages.

    Available Languages to filter Hindi, Marathi, Punjabi, Urdu, Bengali, English, Malayalam, Tamil, Gujarati, Odia, Telugu, Bhojpuri, Kannada, Assamese, Nepali, French, Other

  5. If you would like to group the M3U playlist by language only, append the c=language query parameter:

    http://localhost:5001/playlist.m3u?c=language

    This will group the playlist by language only, like Hindi, Kannada, Marathi, etc.

    Please note that either c=split or c=language can be used at a time.

  6. If you would like to skip one or more genre from playlist, you can use sg=Educational,Lifestyle

    http://localhost:5001/playlist.m3u?sg=Educational,Lifestyle

    This will skip all channels from provided list of genres.

For both specific quality and split category, append the q= and c= query parameters:

http://localhost:5001/playlist.m3u?q=high&c=split

You can also combine the language grouping and language filtering:

http://localhost:5001/playlist.m3u?c=language&l=Hindi,Kannada,Marathi

Electronic Program Guide (EPG)

Take advantage of JioTV Go's Electronic Program Guide to enrich your IPTV setup. Follow these steps:

  1. Enable EPG:

    • Set the epg config value to true. For detailed instructions, refer to the Config page. Or you can also use the epg generate command. For additional details, consult the EPG Command section.

  2. Access EPG in Your IPTV Player:

    • Once enabled, wait a few minutes for EPG generation.

    • Use the following URL in your IPTV player:

      http://localhost:5001/epg.xml.gz

    EPG updates every 24 hours, providing program information for a 2-day duration.

  3. Disable EPG:

    • If you have enabled EPG via configuration, set the epg config value to false.

    • Then run

      jiotv_go epg delete

    This will delete the existing EPG file if it exists and disable EPG on the server.

Buffering issues on IPTV Players

If you are facing buffering issues on IPTV players, try enforcing a specific quality.

If I want to use the high quality, I will use the following URL:

http://localhost:5001/playlist.m3u?q=high

Where q can be low, medium, high, or l, m, h.

If your internet speed is low, you can use the medium or low quality.
