| Channel plays audio but no video | Codec mismatch or low bandwidth. | Check if your player supports H.265/HEVC. If not, remove HEVC streams from the list. |
| "No EPG Data" | tvg-ID mismatch. | Edit the tvg-ID tag to match your EPG XML file. |
| Playlist fails to load | Syntax error (missing comma or quotes). | Open the M3U in a text editor (Notepad++) and look for syntax errors near the last channel you edited. |
| Channels buffer constantly | Bad source URL. | Use an M3U Editor that tests links (pings) to remove dead streams automatically. | rimassoft m3u editor
