Paths

Config

The settings file is located under /config/config.json. Under the mapping section you can specify which IP adresses are used to obtain the channels in a certain country. By default some IP adresses are provided in the default configuration file, however these might not work over time. You can use ip2location by country and ip2location lookup to obtain an IP in a certain country.

For each country a .m3u8 and .xml file will be generated. The expected formats are plutotv_{country}.m3u8 and plutotv_{country}.xml. If you include more than one country in the mapping section plutotv_all.m3u8 and plutotv_all.xml also will be generated.
