They don’t have free playlists to attract an audience, but they do have a test drive. You can register and use paid services free for 4 days. This is quite enough to get a good impression from really high-quality television.
First of all, go to the website “Edem.tv” and click registration. Registration is simple and you will need any Mailbox except mail.ru.
After you have successfully completed registration, in the menu on the left side, follow the “Test package” link. Confirm with a message in Telegram and receive your package of channels for viewing.
After the expiration date, you will definitely want to purchase the service because... the price is only a dollar, and the quality is 10. The playlist from “edem” needs to be installed only once, after which you can use it for a year or two... No brakes, everything works at the highest level! You'll like it.
Undoubtedly, music and video lovers very often come across the concept of playlists. What is a playlist and how to use it in practice, we will now understand. In addition, we will try to resolve the issue of which lists are the most common, and what settings parameters are present in them.
What is a playlist?
To initially explain the concept, we will start from its English designation. Playlist is a word that is essentially made up of two words: play and list. The first means “play”, “lose”, the second - respectively, “sheet”, “list”.
Based on this, in the Russian translation we get an understanding of what a playlist is. This is a playlist that includes, for example, music tracks, videos, etc.
What's most interesting is if you use music or video files directly from hard drive computer, removable device or optical disk, most modern software players support adding completely different formats to one list, and it doesn’t matter whether it’s music or video.
When it comes to file formats containing complete information about each playlist, the most common and frequently used are .m3u, .pls and others. Initially, such lists for creation were provided in such popular programs, like Winamp and AIMP. Naturally, the presence of such a list when adding, say, compositions from different artists or genres made playback much easier in the future. There was no need to paste songs into the player field again and again, much less manually switch from track to track.
Understanding what a playlist is, you can even say that it is some kind of ordered list of files that should be played in strict sequence (although many software players provide a function for shuffling the contents and playing the files present in random order).
No less interesting is the fact that, somewhat earlier, the “native” Windows OS player called Windows Media Player could not create its own playlists, but easily recognized the above formats. This feature became available much later.
How to create a playlist in Winamp or similar player
One of the most revered software players among music lovers is Winamp, which, without a doubt, can be considered one of the founders of this type of programs and applications. Almost all other players after the appearance of Winamp were created in its image and likeness. Take the same AIMP. It doesn't even differ much in interface.
However, let's return to the question of how to create a playlist in Winamp. In order to make your own list, you need to go to the playlists menu. At the bottom of the panel there is a “+” button or the corresponding “Add” command (depending on the application version). In this case, you can use both individual files and entire folders.
After adding, all selected positions will appear in the playlist window. Now it's a matter of small things. All that remains is to save the list by selecting the appropriate menu command and specifying the location of the saved file. As mentioned above, it does not matter which formats will be present in one playlist.
IN latest versions Winamp and AIMP also provide a choice of the saved file format. This is done so that you can open the list in other players that do not support universal formats.
Online television
The matter is limited to music and video, which are present, so to speak, in a stationary form. Many players designed for watching online television also offer a playlist creation function.
In most cases, a TV playlist is a constantly updated one available for viewing (sometimes a regular TV program). In some cases, the list is updated automatically when opened, sometimes this must be done manually.
A striking example of the use of standard TV playlists are programs like TV Player Classic or player Ace Stream, designed for watching TV channels via torrent with increased video and audio streaming speed.
Radio online
Internet radio also provides for the use of playlists downloaded directly from the Internet or created by the user independently. Here we can note, for example, the radio station “Russian Radio”. The playlist from the official source is loaded into the listening program automatically in an updated form (in this case we are talking about a list of played songs, among which you can even repeat those that were recently played on air).
Naturally, if desired, the listener himself can select the channels that need to be added to the playlist, say, by filtering by genre (this applies to all radio stations). After this, you can save the created list in a selected location on your computer. But, as practice shows, many people use it in the hope of finding something new.
Conclusion
Here, in fact, is all the brief information that will help you understand what a playlist is. Naturally, when using playlists you can find a lot more hidden functions and capabilities, but here everything depends on the type of program you prefer for playing or the capabilities of the Internet resource.
Hi all. The purpose of this page is to give you the best links to self-updating playlists of 2020. I will regularly add new self-updating playlists here from around the Internet, and remove those that no longer exist. Save the page to bookmarks and if you have problems with IPTV, come back.
Attention! If one of the playlists doesn't work, please let me know in the comments.
IPTV Forever
Of course, I decided to start the list with my playlist. The playlist has been running 24/7 since the beginning of 2018 and to this day I update it regularly. Thanks to you and your comments, I was able to improve it. Thank you very much for your comments and links to the channels you share.
On this moment 3 versions of the playlist are available:
- A general playlist that contains Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian and other channels.
- Playlist of Russian channels
- Playlist with adult channels
"ONE" from IPTVm3u.ru
ONE is a brand new playlist that deserves your attention. It can be classified as “general” because it contains: movie, music, entertainment, sports and other TV channels.
IPTV HD
Another self-updating playlist from the team at iptvm3u.ru. Its main difference from all the others is that all channels are in HD and FHD quality. This playlist is updated 2 times a day by a software robot that collects HD links from the entire network. On the one hand, it’s good, everything is of excellent quality, but on the other hand there are a lot of garbage channels. In any case, I recommend trying this m3u list:
Playlist from smarttvnews.ru
This is probably one of the oldest playlists you can find. It has been working for a long time and will probably work for just as long. Updates do not occur as often as we would like, but the playlist contains good TV channels and simply must be on this list.
Playlist from SmartTVapp.ru
A very old playlist that worked poorly for a while, but then everything resumed, and I decided to add it to this collection. Apparently, the Admin is collecting it according to the principle “Less is better, but better.” Indeed, the list is up to 300 channels, but all are good: films, cartoons, educational, federal... Try it yourself:
Children's IPTV “Kids”
I resisted making such a playlist for a long time because the “children’s” category is in every updated playlist. The number of requests during the existence of the blog has grown so much that I was forced to make a playlist of children's channels.
This is an updated list and you just need to enter the link into the player, after which it will be updated periodically..m3u
Self-updating playlist from webarmen.com
A relatively new playlist on the Internet that many have already heard about. The playlist does not contain as many channels as all those listed above, but all of these channels are cool and always work. There's not much to say here, but I recommend giving it a try:
IPTV Panda
I can’t say that this is a cool and free playlist, because... is a new site that provides free self-updating playlists. As stated on the website, “daily updates at 21:00.” I checked several times after the update and there were 70-85% working links, which is pretty good.
IPTV Panda did the same as mine, several versions of m3u files with channel lists:
UPD: Friends, the IPTV Panda project is closed.
Playlist from SlyNet
SlyNet is a very old service that provides a free trial playlist as its paid playlist. So, this free, quite suitable list of channels and, to be more precise, in the m3u file there are about 400+ Russian and Ukrainian channels. Also, the file contains some broadcasts from other countries BY, CZ, MD, etc. Try it, you might like it:
What's better, which playlist to choose?
If you have doubts about which playlist to put on, I recommend Eden.TV. Personally, I use it for the following reasons:
- It's affordable - just $1 a month.
- Everything always works.
- You don’t need to get used to new channel numbering every time.
Iptv m3u playlist is essentially a collection of links to streams. The playlist allows the program for viewing IPTV or IPTV set-top box to navigate the information flows of the Internet. We can say that Iptv m3u playlist- this is a telephone directory!
#EXTM3U - IPTV playlist format
So, each Iptv m3u playlist file begins with the statement #EXTM3U- this is the title that determines the purpose and format of the playlist.
#EXTM3U- this is the M3U iptv playlist format.
Essentially this is text file with extension M3U encoded Latin-1, also known as ISO 8859-1 and intended for Western European languages. Therefore, if the Iptv m3u playlist file contains Russian characters (Cyrillic) in the names of the streams, then get ready to encounter unreadable hieroglyphs in the iptv application.
But channels with Latin characters like - MCM Top, MUSIC BOX RU, RUTV, VH1 Classic IPTV and VLC will be displayed normally in the player.
Streams with Cyrillic in the name, such as - NST, 365 days of TV, 24 DOK, Amusement park, will reflect with krakozyabry.
How to get rid of gibberish and hieroglyphs in the structure of an IPTV M3U playlist
To avoid the appearance of hieroglyphs in channel names when watching IPTV playlist must use UTF-8 encoding. The UTF-8 encoding makes it possible to display characters in almost all languages of the world. And the channels will be readable!
Correction of IPTV playlist in UTF-8 encoding
Correcting the encoding in UTF-8 is quite simple; for this we need to open the iptv playlist using the Notepad application. Right-click on the playlist file and a menu for selecting actions appears. Select the “Open with” tab and if you don’t see the “Notepad” application in the menu that opens, then click “Select another application”.
After this, select the desired program from the list provided.
So our iptv playlist opens.
Now the most important thing is to select UTF-8 in the “Encoding” tab and feel free to save the file under the name you want and in the right place.
#EXTINF - extended information about IPTV playlist streams
There is an unknown word in the playlist file #EXTINF, but this is an indicator for an application that will display iptv channels on a computer or smartphone. This indicator tells the application about the media that will be displayed using this playlist. In fact #EXTINF stand for Extended information or Extended information. In most cases #EXTINF contains 2 parameters.
The first is the duration of the media file; in the iptv playlist this parameter is “-1”. Minus one means that the length of the media file is unknown and will be played while the data is received.
The second is the name of the media file stream, or simply the name of the channel.
There are also several more parameters:
“tvg-logo” - logo of the media file or stream being played
“audio-track” - audio track, usually if there are several of them and their selection is possible
“group-title” - designates a group of streams and media files according to criteria (Children’s, Educational and News)
The IPTV playlist contains a lot of http addresses of played video files or streams. For example http://217.174.225.146/legacyhls/ch006.m3u8 It is this link that tells the IPTV program where to start downloading the video file for playback.
But unfortunately, IPTV streams change and update quite often, so on mine I try to post links to iptv m3u playlists in a timely manner for easy viewing.
All people who use software players to listen to music or watch videos have come across the concept of playlists. What a playlist is, its purpose, creation and editing will be discussed further. At the same time, we will not limit ourselves only to music or videos, because the interpretation of the term itself is much broader.
What is a playlist in the broadest sense?
To understand what a playlist is, you just need to start from its English-language counterpart. If you simply translate the two components of the word: Play and List, it will immediately become clear that this is, in fact, a kind of playlist, that is, a set of files or Internet links that are to be played.
In this case, it does not matter at all whether you are supposed to listen to music or watch videos from files located on the local computer or located on the Internet. But the question of what a playlist is on the Internet often has a broader interpretation. The fact is that in such lists, in addition to music and video, there may also be sets of Internet television or Internet radio channels.
How to create a playlist in any software player?
First, let's consider the situation when the files that need to be included in the list are located on the user terminal (on the computer's hard drive or on removable media). The proposed technique is perfect for any mobile devices.
To organize your own list with in accordance with the established procedure software players are used for playback (Windows Media Player, WinAmp, AIMP, VLC Media Player, JetAudio, etc.). Which player is used for playback does not matter.
The question of how to create a playlist is solved quite simply in any such program. In the player itself, you should find the Playlist menu and use the buttons for adding components to the future list. As a rule, you can add individual files or entire folders (or even disk partitions). However, if you add files without setting a specific sorting criterion (by type, by name, by size, etc.), the order will correspond to the one used when selecting them.
On the contrary, folders in which the numbering of tracks and videos is set will have the corresponding numerical order in such a list. You can, of course, set a random playback order, in which tracks or videos will be selected randomly from the list, but this is not always convenient.
Editing a list
Now let's see how to edit a playlist to set your own playback order.
In the simplest case, you can simply remove from the list unnecessary files and add them again to the end of the playlist. But this is inconvenient and time-consuming (you will have to add files one at a time). It is much easier to use the selection of an element with the right or left mouse button (depending on the player) and moving it up or down and placing it in the desired position while holding down the manipulator button. After this, you will need to save the playlist again (usually this is the standard combination Ctrl + S).
IPTV, Torrent-TV: playlists of channels and programs
For Internet television, you can use a playlist of channels that you want to watch. Again, for playback you can use both regular and specialized players like TV Player Classic (for IPTV).
If you use free playlists for Internet television based on torrent technologies, standard programs won't fit. In this case, you will have to install it on your computer special utility Ace Stream with a corresponding player, without which playback will be impossible.
Since TV applications, by and large, also belong to software players, the principles of creating and editing playlists are practically no different from standard actions.
How to use playlists on the Internet?
It is for Internet TV that you should pay attention to one important nuance: usually free playlists are updated automatically when opened and loaded into the corresponding player, but sometimes (as, for example, for ForkPlayer) this must be done manually.
When using ForkPlayer on Smart-TV, the playlist must first be downloaded to the device or saved in your “Personal Account”.
When you want to listen to music on a corresponding resource on the Internet, there is basically no need to save the playlist on the device. With an active connection, you just need to load it into the player (either installed on your computer or mobile device, or into the player on the site itself).
Finally, a few words about what a YouTube playlist is and how to create one. Basically, it's the same playlist, but organized according to slightly different principles.
You can create a playlist either at home page, using the corresponding menu, or in “ Creative studio", where the video manager tab is used.
- open - the list is available to all hosting users;
- access via link - only for those with whom the user shares a link to the list;
- limited - viewing only for the user himself.
Additionally, you can use the auto-add tab, when the watched video, when you set a certain tag or phrase in the video description, will automatically be added to the desired list.
Conclusion
That's all there is to understanding the essence of defining playlists, creating and editing playlists different types. In most cases, when using software players, all the steps are very simple. Uninitiated users may have some difficulties with playlists for IPTV or YouTube, but if you spend a little time and understand the settings, in this case nothing will be particularly difficult.
However, when working with software players, depending on the developer and the specifics of the player, temporary difficulties may also arise (for example, in mastering the interface or menu sections), but in general outline all the principles contained in them are very similar to each other and can differ only in small details.
