How to add an M3U playlist

An M3U playlist is a file containing links to your content.

Step 1: Get your M3U URL

  • Your provider gives you a URL ending in '.m3u' or '.m3u8'

Step 2: Add in STBAir

  • Open STBAir → Portal / Server screen
  • Select 'Add Portal' or press +
  • Paste the full M3U URL
  • Give it a name (e.g. 'My Content')
  • Press Connect

Tips:

  • M3U playlists can be large. First load may take 10-30 seconds depending on size.
  • If the playlist does not load, check that the URL is accessible — try opening it in a phone browser first.
  • Some providers update the M3U URL monthly — you will need to update it in STBAir when it changes.
  • For the best experience, ask your provider for an Xtream Code login instead of M3U — it is faster and supports EPG better.
