Best self-updating IPTV playlists 2021 in m3u format

IPTV Forever

Of course, I decided to start the list with my playlist. The playlist has been running 24/7 since the beginning of 2021 and to this day I update it regularly. Thanks to you and your comments, I was able to improve it. Thank you very much for your comments and links to the channels you share.

There are currently 3 versions of the playlist available:

General playlist that contains Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian and other channels: https://iptvm3u.ru/list.m3u
Playlist of Russian channels - https://iptvm3u.ru/listru.m3u
Playlist with channels for adults - https://iptvm3u.ru/list18.m3u

All 3 sources contain the same links, 2 just have channels from other countries cut out, and 3 are 1 + adult channels.

I also recommend the private playlist of this blog, everything is very cool there:

Best Self-Updating IPTV Playlists of 2021

In order not to search online for collections of TV channels with your favorite broadcasts, you can download them ready-made. There are many links, they are added periodically. The minimum set contains several addresses - general sheet, children's, 18+ or full HD.

IPTV Forever

IPTV Forever refers to self-updating playlists. This is an absolute plus of the service. Standard format, m3u. A developer who is quite meticulous in the issue of selecting channels sorts them out and removes non-working ones in the shortest possible time. The user just has to download the playlist and enjoy watching.

For convenience, the author has divided the sheets into 3 groups:

mixed playlist – https://iptvm3u.ru/list.m3u;
channels for adults (18+) – https://iptvm3u.ru/list18.m3u;
Russian TV channels – https://iptvm3u.ru/listru.m3u;
closed (for friends of the blog) – https://webhalpme.ru/zakrytyj-iptv-plejlist/.

First, an auto-updating m3u sheet is uploaded to the server. Then it automatically goes to all subscribers. But only if a link was added, not a file.

“ONE” from IPTV m3u.ru

And another auto-updating playlist. And you don’t have to pay for it. Can be used both on Android devices (set-top boxes, smartphones) and on Smart TV. The condition for updating is standard - add a link to the sheet: https://iptvm3u.ru/onelist.m3u.

Among the broadcasts presented are the latest entertainment, music, sports, films, and children's programs. The developer states that downloading from the resource was and remains free, not commercial.

But I still recommend trying paid IPTV providers.

IPTV HD

The creator claims that this playlist contains TV channels with high picture resolution. This is indicated by the abbreviation “HD” in the name. Like others, it is updated automatically, without user intervention. The recommended speed for comfortable viewing is from 15 Megabits per second. The player is advised to use OTT.

The resource contains detailed instructions for installing the software. The list is not assembled manually, so adding TV channels based on personal preferences is excluded. Permanent download link:

https://iptvm3u.ru/hdlist.m3u. Contains working broadcasts of Russian channels. Free to download.

Playlist from Smarttvnews.ru

It’s not like others, because here the channels are divided into groups: popular science, films, sports, children’s, national (Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian) and others. This is much more convenient than scrolling through the list in search of the desired broadcast.

And, of course, the list is updated. In total there are more than 5 hundred TV channels. There are both regular and HD. You can download it here: https://smarttvnews.ru/apps/freeiptv.m3u. The developer warns that the sheet may not work on all devices.

Playlist from SmartTVapp.ru

Contains many working links, both for Android devices, including both paid and commercial ones. For example, ILook TV – 1000 channels for a nominal fee of 1 dollar per month.

Or this sheet: https://smarttvapp.ru/app/iptvfull.m3u. There is an auto-updating list: https://smarttvapp.ru/app/iptv-auto.m3u. Or fresh, on 1000 TV channels. Includes Russian, Ukrainian, children's, SD and HD formats. You can download it here: https://smarttvapp.ru/app/iptvfree.m3u.

Children's IPTV “Kids”

There are plenty of worksheets with children's content online. There are broadcasts on 32 channels containing more than 200 cartoons. The list includes Disney, Carousel, Nickelodeon, Children's World, Multimania and many others. Download links:

films – https://iptvmaster.ru/kids.m3u;
cartoons – https://iptvmaster.ru/multfilm.m3u;
all together - https://iptvmaster.ru/kids-all.m3u.

There are also English-language resources on the network. But to download from them, you need to know the language, and sometimes not all links will work.

But I still recommend trying paid IPTV providers.

Self-updating playlist from webarmen.com

An amateur blog whose author provides services and shares his experience. This includes a selection of TV channels for viewing. Guaranteed to work on TV, smartphone, set-top box. You need to add the link https://webarmen.com/my/iptv/xmltv.xml.gz to the software player.

TV_Release

The playlist is current and is automatically updated once every 2-3 days. Contains ordered topics, groups of channels (cinema, adults, children's, popular science, national broadcasts). 90% of the channels presented in the list are declared to be operational. You can download it here: https://46.161.65.30:1682/vede/TV_Release.m3u.

Playlist from SlyNet

The operator provides stable broadcasting, but requires registration and the purchase of a subscription to use the service. The resource does not provide download links without payment.

For 20 rubles you can take a test viewing (for a day), for 50 you can sign up for a weekly package. “Premium playlist” and “Stalker” (portal for mobile devices on Android, iOS) options are available.

Advantages of Internet TV

In 2021, IPTV is a common phenomenon in Russia. It may be provided free of charge or on a paid basis from specific providers. The second option will seem less interesting to many users, but it has a number of advantages that still make sense to subscribe.

The advantages of paid IPTV are as follows:

a large amount of content in HD resolution;
there are no lags when there are a large number of connected users (in the evening, on weekends), since the providers’ servers are designed for loads, unlike amateur builds;
paid IPTV playlists are always up-to-date - the provider monitors their performance and updates, free collections are created by enthusiasts and, as practice shows, do not last long;
online support, ready to quickly solve all problems with access to television.

Television via the Internet is very convenient. Anyone with a stable and high-speed connection can connect to it. Quite often, after trying IPTV and evaluating its advantages even in the free version, users decide to choose higher-quality subscription broadcasting, which in most cases is so inexpensive that it will not affect the budget in any way.

An important advantage of IPTV is the ability to connect and disconnect it with a few clicks without concluding contracts or providing the user’s personal information. It is enough to register on the resource and make a payment (there are usually at least ten ways to replenish).

Connection and setup for common TV models

The TV receiver model plays an important role when connecting IPTV without a set-top box. Below we describe options for installing and configuring IPTV digital television for TVs from different manufacturers: LG, Philips, Samsung, Sony, Xiaomi, as well as Android-based TVs.

Which scanner to choose - TOP 5 applications

The Internet offers a large selection of paid and free scanners.

The first are represented by utilities with additional functions that are often not required:

Software editing of a playlist (renaming, sorting channels).
Direct check of active IPTV addresses, which can be performed from a regular browser;
Record, stop and save video, which can be performed by any computer or TV with a Smart option;

Some paid scanners are full-fledged players and can play multimedia files. However, you should not consider them, because... All basic functions for scanning and playing digital channels are available in free applications.

The following five scanners are the most popular:

IPTV by HackeR. A universal scanner for searching working sources (IP addresses) when connecting to any operator.
PC Player. Works with streams and plays several channels simultaneously (multicast).
VLC. Suitable for computers and TVs with an Internet connection via a router (modem or Wi-Fi router).
Port Scanner 1.2. With this program you can watch IPTV from Android smartphones and tablets.
Angry IP Scanner. The only application that today works on older operating systems such as Windows 2003/2008, and is also compatible with XP and Vista.

Each of the applications works the same way - it searches for active IP addresses and adds them to a playlist for later playback. Which one to choose depends on the preferences of each user and the device used.

Using Simple TV

Using this method, you need to go through step-by-step instructions:

Install a specific type of data transmission - Multicast Streams (if it is disabled, you need to connect this type of transmission on the router and reboot it for further use);
Download and install the Simple TV program (for safe use, it will be better to download it from the official IPTV website);
The first launch of the program and its step-by-step configuration (selecting the interface language, where to save changes; some versions of Simple TV provide the ability to download channels from an m3u file, in this case, click the “Cancel” button);
We create a playlist in the form of an m3u file (you need to right-click, select “Playlist” in the window that appears, and then “Search for channels”);
The “Search for channels” window will open, indicate the range of pre-selected channels (indicate the found TV channels with changes in the last digits from 0 to 255; it is also worth considering that this action will take a long time);
We leave the ports in the “Channel Search” window as default (5050), set the timeout to 15-20 seconds and start the process (by clicking the “Scan” button);
At this time, it is worth clearing the default playlist (right-click on it and select “Delete all”);
Completing the scan (displaying four groups of channels: new, broken, present and MultiPiP channels);
Mark the required channels, click the “Save” button;
We upload the playlist to a separate file (right-click on the new playlist we created and select the “Upload channel list” function and the upload location, confirm the action).

After completing all these points, the user will be able to freely use his playlist of TV channels.

Purpose of the scanner

It was mentioned above that there are two types of IPTV applications. The first is players. They work with ready-made m3u playlists. The second type is IPTV sheet scanners. Their difference is that they search for IP TV addresses with channel broadcasts, save them and then play them. The scanner works with a stream of information, that is, online it finds and saves the channel. Over time, the IP address may be blocked and broadcasting will stop. The scanner allows you to delete saved non-working addresses, conduct a new search for IPTV sources and save them again.

Important! The convenience of the scanner is that the user receives only working links. If you look for ready-made playlists, they may be irrelevant, but you cannot find out about this in advance - only after loading it into the player.

Scanning Instructions

Rostelecom remains the leader in the digital TV market and maintains its popularity. It is also the only operator available in sparsely populated areas. Using this example, instructions for scanning using the Angry IP Scanner program will be presented. You can download the scanner at angryip.org/download/ (if the computer’s bit depth is unknown, you need to select the “recommended, autodetects 32/64-bit Java” option).

After downloading and launching the application, the settings menu will open in the form of three tabs. The first thing you need to do is go to the “Display” tab and select the third item. Now only active IP addresses with an open port will be saved in the playlist.

In the “Ports” tab, you need to enter the provider’s port (for Rostelecom - 1234). You don't need to do anything else in this menu. Next, you need to go to the “Scanning” tab and enter the IP range for scanning, click “OK”. Each region (city) has its own range of addresses to which IPTV broadcasts take place.

Upon completion, the playlist will be automatically saved, in which you can immediately start watching digital channels.
