Why my M3U link is not working?
If the M3U link is not working, always try to check the link on a PC using the VLC media player. If it works on your PC, then it means that there is something wrong on your end. When typing in your M3U link make sure you are not entering any space and you are not using your M3U link on other devices since this will block your account. If the M3U link still doesn't work on a PC, then we recommend you contact your IPTV provider

The M3U files can be edited with any text editor such as notepad because the files are text-based. You can simply open the downloaded M3U file with a notepad and delete the unwanted channels from the list and save the file on your computer. Then you can use this customized M3U file with your IPTV applications.
