Which version you need

  • Version 1.2 (the version in the LG Content Store today, still under the name iTerala) and later open playlists and show their entries as Live TV channels.
  • Version 1.0.0 saved a playlist but then showed an error in Live TV and Home instead of channels. If your TV still has it, update the app from the LG Content Store first (how updates work).

Added one in 1.0.0 and it never worked? After updating, open Settings (⚙), go to the Services tab, choose Remove next to the playlist and add it again.

Your version is shown in Settings › About.

If your playlist link contains get.php, username= and password=, it comes from an Xtream Codes service. Signing in with those details works in every version and also gives you Movies and Series:

  1. Server URL: everything before /get.php, such as http://tv.example.com:8080.
  2. Username and Password: the values after username= and password=.

Then follow the Xtream Codes guide.

What playlists can do

  • Added by web address only. Playlist files from USB, a phone or a computer aren’t supported.
  • Entries appear in Live TV, grouped by the categories in the playlist. Entries without a category go into Uncategorised.
  • No Movies or Series, and no program guide for playlist channels yet. The optional “EPG URL” field isn’t read.
  • The list is fetched again after about 30 minutes, so changes from your provider appear on their own.

The full walk-through, with every playlist message explained, is in the M3U playlist guide.
