What your media is
Your media is the playlist you already have: a playlist link (M3U or M3U8), a server with username and password, or a program guide (XMLTV). It shows up in My media, separate from MetroMedia Free.
You or your provider supply the playlist. MetroMedia does not sell or recommend any.
With your phone (the easiest way)
- On the TV, open Settings → Sources → Add source.
- Point your phone camera at the QR code. If the person helping is far away, send a photo of the screen: the QR code lasts 24 hours.
- On the phone, paste the playlist link or fill in server, username and password.
- Tap Test and send. The TV tests the playlist and the phone shows the result, for example "1,240 channels".
The playlist travels encrypted from the phone to the TV. Not even MetroMedia can read it.
Typing on the TV
- In Settings → Sources → Add source, choose to type here on the TV.
- Choose playlist link or server with username and password.
- Use the on-screen keyboard. The "http://", ".com" and ":8080" shortcuts save keystrokes, and a USB or Bluetooth keyboard works too.
- Choose Test and save. A playlist that does not respond is not saved, and the TV says why and what to do next.
With a file
On the phone, in the File tab, choose an .m3u file of up to 4 MB. It is encrypted on the phone itself and goes straight to the TV.
After adding it
The media shows up in My media. Without the license, the TV shows the license window with the 7-day free trial.

Send an email with your TV ID (Settings → License). With it, we know which TV and app version it is without asking for any of your data.
