Before You Start

You will need:

Your Device ID (found in the IPTV ChannelMate app at the bottom left of the screen)

An activated IPTV ChannelMate licence

An M3U playlist URL from your IPTV provider

Important: IPTV ChannelMate does not provide M3U playlists. You must obtain one from a licensed IPTV service provider.

Step 1: Find Your Device ID

Open IPTV ChannelMate on your device. Look at the bottom left of the application screen. Your Device ID will be displayed — note it down exactly.

Step 2: Visit the Upload Playlist Page

Go to channelmate.tv/upload-playlist on any browser.

Step 3: Enter Your Details

Fill in the form:

Playlist Name — give it a friendly name (e.g., "My Playlist")

M3U URL — paste the full URL from your IPTV provider

Device ID — enter your device ID exactly as shown in the app

Step 4: Submit and Confirm

Click Upload Playlist. You'll see a success message if everything is correct. Open IPTV ChannelMate on your device — your playlist should now be available.

Troubleshooting

Playlist not loading? Check that the M3U URL is correct and active. Try pasting it into a browser to see if it loads.

Wrong Device ID? Copy it character by character from the app — it must be exact.

Playlist loaded but channels not playing? This is a streaming issue with your IPTV provider, not the player app.

Legal Reminder

Only use playlists from licensed IPTV providers for content you are entitled to access. IPTV ChannelMate is a player only and has no control over the legality of third-party content.
