How to edit IPTV playlist and save it to VLC Player

[sjn60]

I recently subscribed to an IPTV service to use with VLC Player on my MacBook Pro while traveling this coming Summer in Europe. I got a long URL, which includes a username and password, and some other setup instructions for an android box from the provider. Now the problem is that it takes a while to load the channels list since it contains over 4,000 when I only need just about 30 of them. Is there any way to edit the channels list? That's the reason why I subscribed to EPIC EPG for IPTV , but maybe I made a mistake...

Another issue is how to download the M3U file. As I said I get a long hyperlinked URL that starts with http://m3u5fZYP and ends with /=mpegts. If I click on it and open with VLC Player it loads the 4,000+ channels (after a while), and I have to do the same every time since I don't seem to be able to save it on VLC as a playlist.


Please help. I am quite inexperienced with these things. Thankx!
