Add a stream

Most of your playlist comes from your provider, but you can add a stream by hand when you have its link, for example a free stream or a stream from another source. A stream you add works like any other: you can check it, give it a logo and link it to the Guide. Follow these steps to add a stream, a movie or an episode.

Steps

1. Open the right part: Click Live TV, Movies or Series in the icon bar on the left, depending on what you add.
2. Open New: Click New in the top bar.
3. Choose New stream: Click New stream. In Movies it says New movie, in Series New episode. The window Create stream opens (Create movie or Create episode in the other parts).
4. Fill in the name and link: Type the Name and paste the Stream link. Both are required. If one is missing or wrong, a short note shows right under that box.
5. Add the extras: Fill in Guide id for the Guide and Logo URL for the logo if you have them. Both are optional.
6. Pick the group: Choose it under Group. The new stream goes to the end of that group.

7. Save: Click Save. A message confirms that the stream was added.

The options

• Name: The name your users see. Example: "UK: Northlight Four HD".
• Stream link: The full link the stream plays from, starting with http:// or https://.
• Guide id: The id that links the stream to its programmes in the Guide. Leave it empty and map the guide later. More in Map the guide.
• Logo URL: The address of a logo picture. Leave it empty and pick a logo later. More in Pick a logo.
• Group: Where the stream goes. To start a new group first, see Groups.

Good to know

• Test the new stream right away with a quick check. More in Quick check.
• A refresh from your provider leaves streams you added by hand alone.
• To add a copy of a stream that is already in your playlist, open it and click Duplicate instead.
• Changed your mind? Delete the stream like any other, or click Undo right after saving. More in Hide or delete.
