After you have downloaded the playlist with TV channels and launched the program, you need to add the playback source to the application. This can be done in several ways. The first way is to visit https://pastebin.com and paste the contents of the .m3u playlist into the corresponding window. Next, you need to do the following:

1. For “Paste Exposure” select “Unlisted”.
2. Click “Create New Paste”.
3. In the new window, click “RAW” and enter the generated URL in the settings of the OTT Navigator app under “My M3U source (link)”.

Second way:

1. Download playlist with channels.
2. Click the “Configure Provider” button.
3. Click the “Change” button and select one of the options that appears (the one that suits you). We will choose the first one – “Typical provider or playlist”.
4. Click “File” and find the downloaded m3u playlist in the file manager. You can also enter a link – using the “Change” button (the one in the center). After a few seconds, you will receive a list of TV channels sorted by genre.

Possible problems and solutions

Most often, when working with the service, there are two problems – the error “Buffering 0” and the periodic disappearance of the EPG (or not appearing at all).

Buffering 0

If a “Buffering 0” error occurs while browsing, this has nothing to do with the application itself. The problem lies either in the insufficient speed of the Internet, or in the overload of the device (perhaps the memory is heavily crammed on it). Reconnecting to another network point or clearing the cache / deleting unnecessary files on the device helps.

Missing EPG

This problem most often happens on the “crowbar” versions of the application. That is, those that are downloaded via apk files. You can solve it only by looking for another mod, because the reason lies in the programming errors of a particular installed file.
