What is an M3U Playlist in vixeo tv?
An M3U (or M3U8) file is a plain-text index that contains direct streaming URLs, category tags (bouquets), channel logos, and stream metadata. When loaded into a media player, the player reads this index and displays an organized channel directory with live television, sports, and on-demand movies.
