# Playlist Structure
|
|
|
|
All links in the repository are stored in the [streams/](../../streams) folder as [M3U](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3U) playlists, grouped by the sources from which they are broadcast. They are arranged this way solely for the convenience of moderating links and are not intended for use by end users.
|
|
|
|
All links undergo automatic filtering and are sorted according to data in our [database](https://github.com/iptv-org/database), so there is no need to sort anything manually. For more info, see [Scripts](./scripts.md).
|
|
|
|
In order for the scripts to process these files correctly, you must follow a strict structure:
|
|
|
|
- All files must have the `.m3u` extension
|
|
- The playlist must begin with the header `#EXTM3U`
|
|
- Each link must comply with the [Stream Description Scheme](./stream-description-scheme.md)
|
|
- Lines must end with [CRLF](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/CRLF)
|
|
- The file encoding must be UTF-8 without BOM
