This page has some help on the format of .m3u playlist files:

https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/SAT2IP_players_as_capture_cards

I have mine on my MythTV box's web server.  That way I can access it
using http://127.0.0.1/playlist.m3u from that box, or using its DNS
name from elsewhere on my network
(http://mypvr.jsw.gen.nz/playlist.m3u).  The file is stored in
/var/www/html.  Putting it on the web server also gets around any
possible permissions problems.  I found that file:/// URLs used to
access it directly from a directory had lots of permission problems.
If you are using MythWeb already, the web server is already set up and
available.
