From what I've read, some other IPTV players support at least some of the VLC options. So one of your players will add it in the future.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

one question , using vpn i able to get .m3u link and i can play it in vlc (geoblocked thats why vpn use) , after i get link i test it without vpn and runs fine, so i dont need use vpn again?
its funny sunday i was seeing some live stream channel , today its geoblocked suddenly but i able to play it now after get m3u, but im unsure if its going to work in long run if i use it without vpn. (right now its working without vpn.) -
Some web sites check the client IP address upon web page access, not at the point where you access the m3u8 and/or individual A/V files. So once you have the m3u8 url you no longer need to use a VPN. Of course, that can change at any time.

thank you jagabo for answer. its weird i mean just for me perhaps they change it . problably it happen again.
one last question , what do with m3u8 that comes with expiring times? i get those but those ''expire'' after some hours. wondering if any chance to get those working permanently
i get m3u8 links via stream detector and idm downloader.
i start to check streamlink for those links? -
Unfortunately, if links have expiration dates you have to get a fresh one once they expire.

i need add some for future reference if its not already in the forum.
im just checking stream link that i get, using vpn from original country runs fine, running from where i am its freezing. like 0 freezing with vpn, and several freezes wihtout.
so looks like there its some extra layer restriction for what i see. -
Hi, when I paste the URL : https://uk.easyview.eu/hls/gold.m3u8 to the address box of my android phone browser, it plays without any problem, but when I paste the SAME URL in a pastebin playlist in order to watch it with the SSIPTV app of my LG TV, it doesn't work.
Anyone knows how can I do to play easyview.eu m3u8 links in the SSIPTV of my TV? -
Unfortunately, tvplayer.com doesn't support the OS of my TV (webOS) and, on the other hand, I am actually in Australia, and to watch live I need a UK IP. Thanks, though.
easyview.eu is not geoblocked. Also, I have noticed that yesterday easyview turned off many of its channels, including itv2, 3, 4, channel 4, 4seven, channel 5, gold, etc. Only bbc channels m3u8 plays, like https://uk.easyview.eu/hls/bbc-two.m3u8 , but I still can't make them work in my LG tv. Any other thoughts? Anyone has other not geoblocked m3u8 links to watch UK live tv? -
Hello everyone,
Found this thread last night.
I am in simiar situation.
Really want to "build" a playlist that pulls the m3u8 (HLS) streams from easyview.eu but i can't seem to work out what format to put them in, as part of the playlist.
I have tried creating a base file like the code below: called it BBC1.m3u and tried to open it in Tivimate
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1 Easyview BBC One
#EXTVLCOPT:http-referrer=https://easyview.eu/watch.php?stream=bbc-london
https://uk.easyview.eu/hls/bbc-london.m3u8
Nothing happens
Am i don;t something wrong.. any thoughts would be great. -

Thanks for sharing the playlist. Its strange behaviour only the very first entry bbc1 works on my android phone and i loaded tbe list into tivimate (android tv) and unfort nothing will play. any more tips or tricks to try?
Many thanks -

Thanks for the reply. Back to my original query. Do you have any ideas why the playlist wont play in Tivimate? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ar.tvplayer.tv
-
In all likelihood the Tivimate doesn't support the user-agent EXTVLCOPT. Do you have any evidence that it supports that? From what I've seen very few players other than VLC support that.
-
Wow ok thats interesting. So should i just delete that line perhaps? Many thanks.
-

Thanks for the reply here.
I have a current M3U file that i use daily that doesn't have #EXTVLCOPT in it at all and it works fine?
Do i need this line becasue the stream is HLS type? or something.Can you explain further.
As i mentioned earlier i can't undertstand why the playslist i am trying to get going works in one IPTV client, (TVIRL - it's an Android TV) and not at at all in Tivimate.
Perhaps i should jst ask the dev of Tivimate. You did mention that ut could be due to an incorrect #EXTVLCOPT any ideas on what i could try to change it to, to get it to work?
Once again thanks very much for your help!! -
Every IP request is accompanied by a header. For example, the BBC1 Gold link at uk.easyview.eu sends this header when the https://uk.easyview.eu/hls/gold.m3u8 link is requested:
Code:Host: uk.easyview.eu User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:77.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/77.0 Accept: */* Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br Referer: https://easyview.eu/watch.php?stream=gold Origin: https://easyview.eu DNT: 1 Connection: keep-alive If-Modified-Since: Sun, 28 Jun 2020 13:04:19 GMT If-None-Match: "5ef89553-100"
The User-Agent field is usually sent to let the server know which browser is being used to view the page. The server may send different data based on the browser version. The Referer field is normally used to let the server know what web page the link comes from.
A media player that's trying to access the m3u8 URL has no way of knowing what header information is required by the server. So VLC came up with a way of specifying some common fields -- the #EXTVLCOPT options. When VLC sees "#EXTVLCOPT:http-user-agent=..." it knows it should use the following text as the User-Agent field when it opens the m3u8 file. But other players don't understand that unless the authors have specifically added the same ability. They are not part of the official M3U specification. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3U -
Thankyou very much for the detailed explanation that really does make sense - i am actually starting to slowly understand now.
I have now managed to record the correct user agent from another player that the fie was working on then i typed that user agent into TIVIMATE and now it works fine!!
(Now to add channel data)
thanks agin very much for your help!Last edited by Fred Flinstone; 29th Jun 2020 at 04:21.

How did you do this? Does tivimate have its own global setting for the user-agent? Did you do it by adding an EXTVLCOPT to the m3u8? What user-agent did you use?
By the way, this morning I find that I need both a user-agent and referer:
Code:#EXTINF:0 Easyview BBC One #EXTVLCOPT:http-user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 9.0; MI 8 SE) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/80.0.3987.119 Mobile Safari/537.36 #EXTVLCOPT:http-referrer=https://ihavevirus.com/index.php/bbc-one/ https://uk.easyview.eu/hls/bbc-london.m3u8

Apologies for the late reply.
Firstly once agin thanks for explaining the technical understanding of how the streams work.
In order to solve i took a step back and tried a different approach, i started looking at apps that did play the file in its current form and the first app that seemed to work consistently was an app called IPTV (Android).
It played the file no problem at all. So i took the understanding that something in this app is "good" what is making it work.
After hunting around in the settings of the app it mentions a USER AGENT setting (a preset one it has by default) it looks like it detects the device its on, adds the device, inserts the device name into the string of the USER AGENT options.And it essentially displays the model of phone and then a bunch of Mozilla 5.0/ etc etc.
So i installed the IPTV app on my Nvidia Shield and of course the files run fine. So i go to the settings for the USER AGENT and basically copy them all down.
And then to answer your later question enter this setting into the Tivimate USER AGENT section (Which by default is blank).
[Attachment 54022 - Click to enlarge]
You can see from the photo the agent i entered and straight away all the streams started playing! - SOLVED!
I'm sure i will back here agin though when i am trying to figure something else out. -
Thanks for that. I was playing around with the user-agent string yesterday and I found that as little as "Android" works. And today the referer field is no longer needed.
Code:#EXTINF:0 Easyview BBC One #EXTVLCOPT:http-user-agent=Android https://uk.easyview.eu/hls/bbc-london.m3u8
