No video files are stored in this repository. The repository simply contains user-submitted links to publicly available video stream URLs, which to the best of our knowledge have been intentionally made publicly by the copyright holders. If any links in these playlists infringe on your rights as a copyright holder, they may be removed by opening an issue. However, note that we have no control over the destination of the link, and just removing the link from the playlist will not remove its contents from the web. Note that linking does not directly infringe copyright because no copy is made on the site providing the link, and thus this is not a valid reason to send a DMCA notice to GitHub. To remove this content from the web, you should contact the web host that's actually hosting the content (not GitHub, nor the maintainers of this repository).

What is this?A collection of publicly available IPTV channel playlists (M3U) gathered from all over the world.
Is this an app or just a list of links?It is a set of M3U playlist files containing links to live stream URLs, not a video player or app itself.
How do I actually watch a channel?Copy the link to one of the playlists and paste it into any video player that supports live streaming, then press Open.
Do I need a special app to play these streams?No, any video player that supports live streaming playlists will work; there's no bundled player in this repo.
Will every channel in the list actually work?Not stated directly, but since streams are user-submitted public links the project doesn't control their uptime or availability.
Does iptv-org host or own the video streams?No video files are stored in this repository; it only links to publicly available streams submitted by others.
Where do I get an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) for these channels?The iptv-org/epg repository publishes utilities to download EPG data for most channels listed here.
Is there an API to query the channel data programmatically?Yes, API documentation is maintained in the separate iptv-org/api repository.
Where can I find other IPTV-related resources?Links to additional IPTV resources are collected in the iptv-org/awesome-iptv repository.
