Sample m3u..... #EXTM3U #EXTINF:-1 tvg-name="Santa Live From The North Pole Grotto (D)" tvg-logo="https://www.pngkit.com/png/detail/473-4739724_merry-christmas-png-image-free-download-searchpng-christmas.png" group-title="CHRISTMAS 2021", Santa Live From The North Pole Grotto (D) http://491214a0245a:9003/live/test/test/2183118.ts Edited December 14, 2021 by EODCrafter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joturos 0 Posted December 14, 2021 Author Share Posted December 14, 2021 What I’m trying to do is make a constant loop something like a playlist that loops over and over with the files in the playlist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
