Stuck on an issue?

And, if you’re still stuck at the end, we’re happy to hop on a call to see how we can help out.

I didn’t keep track of which URLs were considered invalid, just those that were still considered valid when I tried playing them in VLC; notably, nearly all of the sports streams no longer worked.

Below is the single M3U file I exported from VLC, containing only those streams that worked at least once when I tried:

To be clear, the ones I listed are the ones that actually work: Even showing a graphic saying the stream isn’t live at the moment still counts as “working”; all other streams failed to load anything and were considered “invalid” by VLC.

The two The Fan stations are the only two sports stations that worked at all.

I could try to compile all the stream URLs and diff them with the list I posted, just so I could be clearer about which ones don’t work anymore, which is most of them.
