Hello,
I want to download the playlist to use on an Openbox IPTV section. What format should I select from the drop-down menu? I've tried all that come in txt format but none works.

m3u Generic or m3u Plus will work.
You would then use a Player installed on your Openbox to play these m3u Playlists.
I think the Openbox has the MX Player available , which should work.

The Openbox stb's are looking for a file called "tvlist.txt". You can make this file using a text editor and editing the m3u file you download from the server.

First delete the first line "#EXTM3U"
Copy the two lines that come with each channel that you want to use in your list and delete the "#EXTINF:-1," up to the comma, then place everything else on
the same line as the channel name i.e.


#EXTINF:-1,CHching!
http://52.86.189.59:1935/live/news/playlist.m3u8

becomes

CHching! http://52.86.189.59:1935/live/news/playlist.m3u8

Note the space between the channel name and the http. When you have finished editing, save the list as tvlist.txt and put it on your usb stick, plug it into
the Openbox and select IPTV from the menu. You can save the list to the stb, but it will overwrite any list you have previously installed. I have an Openbox X5
that I use for IKS and I can confirm it does work.
