Hi Guys,
Today I'm going to show how YOU can easily watch playlists of remote MKV Movie and TV
Show links in M3U files from sites like FluxusTV or Pastebin.com on your Apple TV.
Apple TV 4 has the PlayerXtreme App natively but the Airplay IOS version has autoplay.
Allowing you to sit back and watch every episode of your favorite TV Show as well as being
able to easily select any episode.
Here is a M3U file with different MKV links of different Shows.
As
you can see I'm able to watch these MKV M3U links on my Apple TV.
This setup requires a PC NAS drive and the PlayerXtreme IOS App.
If you are also interested in knowing how to Stream your PC's desktop with Audio and
Video to your Apple TV using ANY version of Windows then subscribe to be notified when
I post.
So let's get started.
First you will need a local M3U file with video links Only.
I will be posting a future video on how to retrieve links and create your own custom
M3U playlist files from TV and Movie sites.
In this m3u file I have FLV, AVI and MKV video links.
In order to cast the videos contained in this M3U file each individual video must be copied
to a m3u8 file to be accessible by the PlayerXtreme App.
I've create a YT_XPLAY_M3U8 utility to do this.
There will be a link to this utility in the description box below.
You will need to unzip and place it into a NAS folder accessible by the PlayerXtreme
App.
Here are the Utility's M3U File requirements:
1)You MUST delete the M3U header row which is #EXTM3U
2)Scan through the M3U file and remove any blank rows
3)The M3U file should only contain video links.
No ts links or m3u8 links etc.
4)Each video should ONLY have two rows.
The header #EXTINF row and the actual link row
5)The #EXTINF row should end with the video's title name after a double quote then a comma
because the tool scans the file and picks up that information
6)Prior to the video's title name as mentioned there must be a double quote then a comma
AND nothing other than the video title's alphanumeric characters meaning you cannot have special
character like a greater than or less than sign, brackets etc. as part of a video title
name.
If you do have special characters you will need to do a search and replace to set the
special characters to either Null or a blank space
Now you need to copy and paste your revised M3U file into the M3U_Input.m3u file.
Before you can run the tool you will need to do a one time update in the Run_CC_Out_M3U8.bat
file and update it with the current folder the Run_CC_Out_M3U8.bat file will be running
from in the CurrDir variable once again the CurrDir variable which stands for current
directory and save the change.
Next run the Run_CC_Out_M3U8.bat file from the YT_XPLAY_M3U8 folder.
The generated M3U8 files will be located in the YT_XPLAY_M3U8\M3U8_OUT folder.
Finally you just need to navigate to that NAS folder from the PlayerXtreme IOS App and
select from those M3U8 files.
In this demo I'm streaming an AVI, FLV and MKV video to my Apple TV and as mentioned
this is an autoplay M3U playlist.
FYI.
This utility will delete the previously generated M3U8 files during its next run.
If you want to keep your m3u8 files for future use you should copy them to a different NAS
folder.
