## Add or Replace a Stream
If you would like to replace a broken stream or add a new one, please do the following:
- Make sure that the link you want to add works by using a program like [VLC media player](https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html).
- Check if the channel is working outside your country by using a vpn or use a service we highly reccomend like [streamtest.in](https://streamtest.in/).
- Find out from which country the channel is being broadcasted. This information can usually be found on [lyngsat.com](https://www.lyngsat.com/search.html) or [wikipedia.org](https://www.wikipedia.org/) If you are unable to determine which country the channel belongs to, add the channel onto the `channels/unsorted.m3u` playlist.
- Find the corresponding ISO_3166-2 code for the country. You can find a full list of codes here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2
- Open the `/channels` folder and find the file that has the same code in its name and open it
- If broken, find the broken link in this file and replace it with working one.
- If new, at the very end of this file add a link to the channel with a description.
- Commit all changes and send a pull request.
