How to Edit IPTV M3U Playlists with Notepad++ (2024 Guide)

Take control of your IPTV experience by customizing channel names and organizing playlists with Notepad++. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown for beginners and pros:

Step 1: Open Your M3U/M3U8 Playlist

Right-click your playlist file (e.g., iptv_list.m3u).

Select “Edit with Notepad++” (install Notepad++ if missing).

Step 2: Understand M3U Playlist Structure

Basic M3U Format:

Copy

#EXTM3U 

#EXTINF:-1, Channel Name 

http://example.com/stream-link.ts 

#EXTM3U: Header line (do not delete).

#EXTINF:-1: Metadata line. Edit the “Channel Name” after the comma.

URL: Stream link (do NOT modify this – changes will break the channel).

________________________________________

Step 3: Edit Channel Names

Locate the channel name after #EXTINF:-1,.

Example: Change #EXTINF:-1, BBC News → #EXTINF:-1, [UK] BBC News HD.

Never alter URLs – they’re unique to your provider.

Step 4: Save Your Changes

Press Ctrl + S or click File > Save.

Test the updated playlist in your IPTV app (e.g., VLC, TiviMate).

Editing M3U_Plus Playlists
