Cloud Output Links¶
When cloud output is configured, IPTVBoss can display the generated M3U and EPG links for use in a player or downstream service.
First complete Cloud Provider Setup and Layout Output Settings.
Generate cloud output¶
- Confirm that the intended layout is enabled.
- Confirm that cloud output is configured for the layout.
- Open Output.
- Select All Layouts M3Us & EPGs or the current-layout output action required by the test.
- Wait for the output operation to finish.
- Select Output → View Cloud Links. See Layout Output Settings if the destination is not configured.
- Copy only the link intended for the selected user or player.
Warning
Cloud links can provide access to provider content. Treat them as credentials and never share them publicly.
Verify a link¶
- Confirm that the link belongs to the intended layout or user.
- Open it only in a trusted player or controlled test tool.
- Confirm that the playlist loads.
- Confirm that the EPG link returns guide data when one was generated.
- Check the layout output if channels or guide data are missing.
If a link is stale, regenerate the relevant output and check the cloud authorization in IPTVBoss Settings.
Cloud-link lifetime and expiration behavior can vary. Do not document or rely on a fixed expiration period.
