Point to a local play list

Post by sebastian.bello »

Hi all,

I'm running SS IPTV from an USB pendrive (this is the only way it worked for me).
Instead of pointing to a remote M3U URL which contains a huge list, I would like to be able to download that list manually, copy it to the pendrive and use it from there. I tried to use, instead of http://www..., a local URL like file:// or file:///, but it didn't work. So I have two questions:
1- is it possible to point to a local list?
2- how do I identifiy the local USB pendrive to point to it with the local URL?

Thanks,
Sebastian-

Hi,

We don't have wide support of reading from USB sticks.
You may try to put the file "playlist.m3u" in the root of the USB stick.
And specify the following path as external playlist URI: "usb://playlist.m3u"

Hi Sebastian, I tried the same but it didn't work... the newly created "list" shows on my app but upon clicking on it I get an error "failed to load list".
Any chance you could explain exactly what you did.
Thanks!
