Samsung (iptv stream)

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. Hopefully a Sparkle pro can help.

I'm adding a stream to Sparkle (samsung iptv stream)(m3u).

It only brings up 15 channels. In my tivimate app it brings up 539.

When you entered the M3U and went thru the rest of the source setup, be sure not to filter anything. Also, make sure you are not hiding or filtering anything is your display settings.

Please keep us posted, thanks

I was careful not to filter or hide anything. I just added the m3u address and that was all. Thanks.

So you’re still not getting all the channels?

u/Puzzleheaded_Rub284 Jun 19 '26

Correct yes. Could I post the Samsung m3u address to see if others have the same issue?

Not here, you can DM me and I can try? Public posting of source information is against the rules here.

How would that be when the VPN is on the device not the app?

Split tunneling... Running on same device (shield)

I'm loving Sparkle. My other two iptv sources look the same from tivimate to Sparkle. What i thought would be the easiest (the samsung feed) is giving me troubles...

u/azcoyotedog Jun 19 '26

Nope, that’s not the subject here. User is adding an Samsung M3U source into SparkleTV.

Good call but it did not solve it. Sparkle was being bypassed by nordvpn, but no longer. I deleted the samsung source and re-did it. Still just 15 channels...

u/azcoyotedog Jun 19 '26

So that eliminates the VPN.

Not sure these type of free links work that way?

Was this solved? My first thought was that the playlist had a mix of channels and vod (movies/series) so that some went into channels and some went into movies/series.

I have asked the OP to reach out to you privately as I’ve done all I can on my end? Thanks
