Correct format for M3U/Playlist URL?

Centurybreak · June 19, 2018 at 3:55 PM

Greetings.

I recently picked up a Z7+ and it works well using a MAC address connection.

My current issue is with with attempting an M3U/Playlist connection. I'm sharing an account for a popular provider (whose name starts with "V") with my brother. He has a MAG box, so is using the MAC address connection. I've tried various versions of the Playlist and EPG URLs for this provider that are online, particularly the ones that seem to work for Perfect Player, and no joy.

The best I can get is the "Connecting to V..." progress bar getting to ~ 90% and then an error from MOL about "Data (something... something...) not loaded".

I'm presuming it's appropriate to ask permission here before posting the URLs I've tried as they're provider specific, so please let me what further info I can provide in order to help you fine folks help me.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I didn't make the connection earlier although I'd read those threads, but is it possible that the error occurs because this provider uses a .gz for its EPG URL?

Same problem here buddy I’ve tried everything, I’ve got the live tv working but no vod or epg... I’m at a loss

If you only fill in the m3u part in (2nd box) with http://Vaders.tv/vget?username=yourusername&password=yourpassword it works with live tv.

But I can’t get vod to show anything and the epg won’t connect so I’m stuck

Hey Rob,

Thanks for the info.

If the EPG doesn't work, there's kind of zero point to trying to access "V" on the Z7+ it seems.

Looks like I wasted some serious $!

Shame on me, I suppose...

Just remove the .gz from the EPG URL and it should work

We'll try to add automatic .gz decompression to MOL in the August update

Thanks for the suggestion... I'll give it a try tomorrow!

And thanks also for the info about the potential change in the August update... hopefully it will make things even easier/more straightforward.

Well... it didn't work. Thanks again for looking into it, though!

Still got a "Data load failed" error after ~ 90% on the "Connecting..." progress bar.

I have a similar issue. Since upgrading from a Dreamlink T1 box where all my IPTV streams were working great, I have lost the ability to see 1 of them.

I tried using the Portal to set up the IPTV, it connects and I can see the EPG with all the VOD content, but no channels will stream.

I contacted the IPTV service and they said to a reset. I did a reset back to factory and tried again. Same problem. The other IPTV provider is working like a charm. No issues.

So I tried using the M3U option. Exactly the same issues as above.

Any ideas?
