3. Adding xtream playlist – via playlists.txt file

To access the playlist.txt file you need to access the files on your Enigma2 box. There are several easy ways to achieve this.

Via FTP software for ex. Filezilla (FTP software)

Enter your Setupbox  IP address (as can be found in Menu > Information > Network)
username: root
password: your password

Port: [leave blank]

In the right panel of your ftp software navigate to

/etc/enigma2/jediplaylists

right click playlists.txt to edit

Enter your playlist details into playlists.txt file. Must include your protocol (http:// or https://)

For more than one playlist use a seperate line.

Playlists can be commented out using a # at the start of the line. These will then not appear in the plugin.

Save file.

If using FTP make sure you go back into your FTP software where it should prompt you to save.

4. View Playlists Info

Once you have entered your first playlist this will appear in Jedi Maker Xtream plugin under “playlists”

The playlists screen provides additional information.

Green L.E.D. – Line is active or M3U file is accessible. For external M3U files this might be a false positive as it’s only checking the URL exists and not actually a valid M3U

Red L.E.D. – Line is inactive / banned / disabled / Down for Maintenance. For external M3U files this will be red if the URL no longer exists.

The playlist will also show the max connections allowed for this line, and also how many active users are currently using the line.

Note: Active count means the number of streams being currently played on various devices. Not whether that line is active or not.

5. Create Bouquets / Bouquets Settings

In Playlists, highlight your playlist and press OK to start the bouquet creation process.

• Settings – Full Explanations

You will be presented with numerous options that are specific to that playlist only.

Allowing multiple playlists to have different options if required.

• Bouquet Name

By default this is the domain url of your playlist. This value can be changed to any value except blank.

If you have multiple playlists make sure this value is unique for each playlist as its this value that the plugin uses as a unique ID reference.

• Use name as bouquet prefix

When you have created your bouquets, this will either prefix the category name with the chosen ‘Bouquet Name’ or not. Useful to differentiate between over the air channels and IPTV or determining multiple IPTV playlists.

i.e
Sports
IPTV1 – Sports

IPTV2 – Sports

Live categories

Select yes if you wish to build bouquets for live categories

Stream type for Live (live categories selected)

Various options depending on your setup.

DVB(1), IPTV(4097), Gstreamer(5001), ExtPlayer(5002) – The latter 2 only available if you have installed one of them modules.

It is up to the user to experiment with this option to find the best option for your provider. There is no perfect setting as all providers are different.

Try a value, create your bouquets then test playing, zapping speeds, ff/rw options etc. Choose the option best for you.

If your stream is known to be active and you are only getting a black screen, try an alternative stream type.

• VOD categories

Select yes if you wish to build bouquets for VOD categories.

Be warned some providers VOD categories can be huge.

For initial testing it is advisable to just test LIVE first and add VOD and Series later when you understand the process.

Series categories uses a slightly different approach to downloading the data and can be a lot slower than Live and VOD creation. This is expected behavior.
