Channel sources

Finding more channels.

Relay Player's built-in Global TV catalogue is one source of public internet channels among several. If you want a different selection — a smaller list, a specific category, or a mirror of your own — these are the community-maintained M3U playlist projects it's worth knowing about. Any of them can be imported directly (Channel list options, Import M3U playlist), or set as the source address on the Global TV tab in Settings.

Worth knowing before you import any of these

None of these lists are compiled, curated or hosted by Relay Video Lab, and we don't check what's in them. Streams come and go, availability varies by region, and many entries won't play — usually because the underlying source has been disabled, retired or geo-blocked, not because of anything Relay Player is doing. Whether a given stream is licensed for you to watch in your region is not something we can determine on your behalf, and it's your responsibility to make sure your use is lawful where you are.

iptv-org — the largest open channel index

A large, actively maintained open-source project aggregating free-to-air channels from around the world, split into playlists by category, country and language so you're not forced to load the entire index at once. This is also the default source behind Relay Player's own Global TV catalogue.

  • Tens of thousands of entries across the full index; category and country-specific lists are much smaller and faster to load
  • Updated continuously on GitHub

Free-TV — smaller and HD-focused

A different philosophy to iptv-org: fewer channels, one stable link per channel rather than duplicates, and HD where it's available. A reasonable choice if you'd rather start from a leaner, more reliable list than search a catalogue of tens of thousands.

FAST channel exports

Several ad-supported streaming platforms — Pluto TV, Samsung TV Plus, Plex, Tubi among them — run their own free, live "FAST" channels. Community-maintained M3U exports of these exist in various places online, but unlike the two sources above they aren't officially published as playlists, so treat availability and reliability as considerably less predictable, and regional availability varies by platform.
