Why convert M3U to CSV or JSON?
M3U files are the universal standard for media players, but they are difficult to edit or audit manually. Converting your playlist to a CSV allows you to open it in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or LibreOffice to easily inspect links. Developers often prefer JSON or XML to programmatically interface playlist metadata into databases or custom APIs.
Preserving EPG Tag Parameters
Our local converter extracts and preserves all `#EXTINF` metadata properties. This includes standard keys such as channel name, tvg-id, tvg-logo, tvg-country, tvg-language, and group-title (category). When converting in the opposite direction (e.g., CSV to M3U), the EPG mapping is compiled back into the correct tags automatically.
