1. Open Sources in the App

When the app starts without any configured source, it opens the Sources screen. You can also open Sources from the app navigation.

On Android TV, use the remote to move between fields and buttons. Press OK or Enter to select a field or action.

2. Add an M3U URL

Open Sources.
Select M3U URL.
Enter a Display name, or leave it blank and the app will infer a name from the URL.
Enter a valid M3U URL. The app accepts HTTP and HTTPS URLs with a host name.
Press Save Source.

After saving, the app attempts to sync the source. You may see progress messages such as preparing, downloading playlist, importing guide data, and finalizing source.

3. Add a Local M3U File

Open Sources.
Select Local File.
Enter a Display name, or leave it blank and the app will infer a name from the selected file URI.
Press Pick M3U File and choose a file with the system picker.
Press Save Source.

The app requests persistent read access to the selected document URI so it can read the file later.

4. Add Xtream

Open Sources.
Select Xtream.
Enter a Display name, or leave it blank and the app will infer a name from the username and server host.
Enter a valid Xtream server URL. The app accepts HTTP and HTTPS URLs with a host name.
Enter the Username.
Enter the Password.
Press Save Source.

If the server URL, username, or password is missing or invalid, the app shows a validation message before saving.

5. Manage Sources

Use This Source: Sets the source as the active source.
Refresh Playlist: Refreshes playlist data for that source when it is not already syncing.
Delete source: Removes that source and its imported catalog data after confirmation.

6. Common Checks

For M3U and Xtream setup, make sure the URL starts with http:// or https:// and includes a host name.
For Xtream setup, make sure the username and password fields are not blank.
If a source has no EPG URL, the app may show that no EPG source has been detected for that playlist yet.

Provider note: Aura IPTV is a playlist client. Playlist URLs, server URLs, usernames, passwords, channel availability, EPG data, and stream availability come from the source or provider you use.
