Does the channel need to be FTA to be included in the playlists?
No, as some come from satellite services or freely accessible websites. We recommend tagging [Geo-blocked] if it is only accessible in a certain country.
Can I add a FTA channel that broadcasts PPV events or pay programming?
Perhaps. Consider that owners can ban the broadcast of PPV events, and even DCMA takedowns. Check if this channel is in the blocklist from the repository database.
Why is recommended the "playlist.m3u" or "index.m3u" at the end of the url?
These files use adaptive resolution, which avoids dependence on tokens or temporal files.
