Hey all, i need your help.
Someone brought this hardware from his recent vacation (Tunisia).
Hardware :SamSat 5200 Plus + USB Wifi Dongle + unknown small usb dongle ( look at Minute 04:20) A quick google search showed me a similar looking box | tutorial : https://youtu.be/1oTkzLUDrgE
The box provides Sat and IPTV channels all over the world.
I‘m a little bit worried, what the box also does, besides getting keys from someone of the internet and talking to unknown servers. Or is it just using an old outdatet encryption (NDS/ Nagra) ?
I see the question of editing m3u lists come up a lot in this sub and often the answer is xtreme-editor which is a fine choice (I subscribed myself). There are other options of course but one that is somewhat overlooked a bit primarily because it's primary purpose is to emulate the HDHomerun device to allow IPTV to be used with Plex.
xTeVe is primarily an emulator but it also has a very good m3u editor and it is free to use and as a bonus for all you Plex users, it allows IPTV to be used in Plex. The only downside is that you must have it running somewhere on your LAN. I have it running in a linux VM and it works great.
Here are a few screenshots.

Just trying to get the hang of all this - appreciate some help. I've tried a few and now have an iptv service I'm reasonably happy with - it has its own app but I don't like it much.
Previously I had used Xm3 so I wanted to try it with this one. So I got the m3u of the new service and tried adding it to xm3 using https://xtream-editor.com/. Not sure why but I could only see one category of channels for some reason, the rest were not there.
I tired adding it again it said I can only have 2 m3u's - I still have one from a previous trial that is still active so I don't want to delete it.
Is Extream editor the only one? It says my trial is ended and I need to subscribe, but the website says there is a free version I'm not sure. I don't want to pay unless I know.
Any other apps that let you navigate between channels with left and right? Tried Tivimate, Smarters and a few others but so far I still like Xm3 best - but the fact it doesn't let you hide categories and channels bugs the hell out of me!
