// m3u & iptv
A focused toolkit for checking, editing, merging, and fixing M3U playlists — plus clear routes for either building a brand new XMLTV EPG from your playlist or repairing an existing broken EPG file.
If your IPTV app has no guide data, the best next step is usually to generate a new XMLTV EPG from your playlist. Only use the EPG Checker & Fixer when you already have an XMLTV file or EPG link and need to diagnose why it is failing.
If your IPTV app shows “No Information”, empty listings, or no TV guide at all, the usual fix is to build a working XMLTV EPG from your M3U, M3U8, TXT or Xtream Codes playlist rather than trying to repair a guide you do not already have.
Paste your M3U, M3U8, TXT or Xtream Codes details to start the build.
We automatically map playlist channels to live programme data sources.
Download the XMLTV file or use your hosted EPG URL in your IPTV app.
Best for M3U, M3U8, TXT and Xtream Codes playlists that do not already have a working guide.
Pick the tool that matches the job. Each page is designed to be clear, quick, and usable on mobile.
Validate playlists, flag broken/offline links, and export a cleaned M3U. Great for diagnosing “some channels don’t work”.
Visually edit channel names, groups, and URLs. Perfect for tidy playlists and quick bulk fixes.
Remove duplicate IPTV channels from M3U and TXT playlists by stream URL, TVG ID, or channel name, then export a cleaned M3U.
Build a working XMLTV EPG from any M3U, M3U8, TXT or Xtream Codes playlist so IPTV apps show programme listings instead of “No Information”.
Generate and edit IPTV playlists from Xtream Codes. Instantly convert login details into a clean, editable M3U file.
Preview and test M3U/M3U8 playlists in your browser to isolate device vs source issues.
Play and test M3U audio streams (radio stations) in your browser. Useful for debugging non-working stations and stream URLs.
Combine multiple playlists into one and reduce duplicates so your player loads faster and cleaner.
Convert playlists into a spreadsheet so you can sort, filter, audit, and bulk-clean quickly.
Extract readable stream URLs from an M3U link so you can inspect and test endpoints.
Convert Xtream Codes login details into a readable TXT playlist while preserving M3U-style channel entries and metadata.
Find missing/broken logos and metadata issues (tvg-id / tvg-logo / group-title) that break EPG and player UI.
Check an existing XMLTV file or EPG link for formatting, ID, encoding, and mapping problems when you already have guide data but it is not working properly.
These tools are built for legitimate use cases like debugging, validation, QA, and playlist hygiene. They do not bypass authentication, paywalls, access controls, or modify third-party services.
If channels fail to load, start by identifying which URLs are dead or slow.
Test whether streams play in-browser to separate device/player issues from source issues.
Once streams work, tidy the playlist: names, groups, duplicates, and merge sources if needed.
Choose the route that matches your problem. These are different jobs.
Use EPG Builder when your playlist has no guide data, your IPTV app shows “No Information”, or you want to generate a fresh XMLTV guide from M3U, M3U8, TXT or Xtream Codes details.
Go to EPG Builder →Use EPG Checker & Fixer when the guide already exists but has broken dates, invalid XMLTV formatting, mapping problems, missing channels, or timezone and encoding issues.
Go to EPG Checker & Fixer →Short, practical reads that explain the “why” behind common issues.
Understand the real causes (source load, CDN, protocol, device decoding) and what you can actually fix.
Read guide →Step-by-step checks for broken playlists: encoding, formatting, dead links, redirects, and player compatibility.
Read guide →Explore the full Yerman toolbox across IPTV, M3U, SEO, and diagnostics.
View all tools →Yes. These tools are free to use and designed to be fast, practical, and easy to understand.
Use the EPG Generator if you need to create a working XMLTV guide from an M3U, TXT, M3U8 or Xtream Codes playlist. Use the EPG Checker & Fixer if you already have an XMLTV file or EPG link but listings still do not show correctly.
Most tools work in-browser where possible. If a tool needs to fetch URLs for validation, it only requests what you provide to run checks and show results.
They help you diagnose root causes (broken links, slow endpoints, playlist/metadata issues). Buffering is often caused by the stream source or network path, not just your internet speed.
M3U is the playlist format. M3U8 is the UTF-8 encoded variant commonly used with HLS streaming. Many players handle both similarly.
No. These tools are designed for legitimate debugging, validation, QA, and playlist hygiene. They do not bypass paywalls, authentication, or access restrictions.
Most issues can be diagnosed in minutes — start with validation, then move to playback and EPG.
