“Playlist name” – playlist name that will be inserted into the playlist file. 

“URL key” – secret password for playlist file security. Other users who don’t know correct URL key will not be 

able to use the playlist file and watch video. After filling the URL key with a secret key phrase you must download 

the playlist file again and import downloaded file to the video player that you are using. Leave this field blank if 

playlist security feature is not required. 

“Include scrambled TV channels” – enabling this checkbox will include scrambled TV channels in the playlist. 

“Allow channel grouping” – will allow you to assign TV channels into user defined groups. M3U playlist format 

supports linear groups only, while DLNA supports up to three levels grouping. M3U playlist entries grouping must 

be supported by the video player that you are using. Otherwise this function will not work. 

“Edit channel groups” – add or modify existing channels groups. Click on the icon to edit. See section 5.4.2 

for more information.
