Frequently Asked Questions

Ko-fi allows users to donate anonymously or hide their name from public view. If you chose to be anonymous or didn't provide a name during the donation process, our system defaults to "Somebody" or "Anonymous" to respect your privacy while still displaying your support in our Hall of Fame.

We use a gamified system to reward community contribution:

• Reputation: Earned by voting on hashtags. Each vote gives you 10 points. It represents your "Trust Level" in the community.
• Rank: Based on total public IPTV scans. Newbie (0-10), Contributor (11-100), and Expert (101+) tiers are awarded based on your history.

A Private Scan is a Premium feature that allows you to check an IPTV subscription without it being added to our global database. This means it won't appear in the "Live Activity Feed", "Browse" list, or "Global Search". It stays unlisted and only accessible if you share the direct link.

Starting June 16, 2026 at 0:00 CEST, we are transitioning from a donation-based Premium to a Shop-based system. You will need to buy the Premium packages directly from our Ko-fi Shop. Donations made after this date will be considered purely as support to fund the service and will not grant Premium perks.

Note: Everyone who had Premium before this change will have their premium kept as is. Nothing will change for existing members. You can also pay for premium using NowPayments (Crypto).

The Playlist Editor lets you visually reorder and hide categories from your IPTV subscription. Once you save your changes, you get a unique M3U link that you can use in any IPTV player (like TiviMate or Smarters). This link is dynamic—it will always reflect the latest changes you make in our editor.

Standard users have a limit of 120 requests per hour. Premium users enjoy a significantly higher limit of 600 requests per hour, making it suitable for larger-scale integrations and automated checking tools.

Peer workers allow users to "mine" Premium status. By running a small background script on your own computer or VPS, you help verify global IPTV lines. In return, the system generates random Premium vouchers (1 to 365 days) that you can redeem for your account.

Minimal Specs: Any PC, Raspberry Pi, or small VPS. Requires Node.js v14+ and basic internet access. Port forwarding is not required.

Recommended Specs (Deep Scan): To unlock the highest reward tier (media capture for thumbnails and previews), you need Node.js v14+ and FFmpeg installed globally on your system. The worker will automatically detect it and upgrade its capabilities.
