M3Unator is a powerful tool designed to turn any open web directory into a beautifully organized M3U/M3U8 playlist. This enhanced fork adds deeper metadata support and broader compatibility for modern server environments.
- Extended M3U Support: Full support for
#EXTM3Uand#EXTINFtags, including group titles and channel IDs. - Enhanced Server Detection: Improved recognition for a wider variety of open directory server types (Apache, Nginx, LiteSpeed, Caddy, HFS, and more).
- Smarter Parsing: Optimized regex for extracting media from messy or non-standard directory listings.
- Smart Media Detection: Automatically identifies 40+ video and audio formats.
- Recursive Scanning: Deep-scan subdirectories with configurable depth (0-99).
- Real-time Progress: Modern UI with live status updates, toast notifications, and scanning stats.
- Ultrafast System: Parallel request handling (up to 15 concurrent scans) for lightning-quick results.
- Privacy First: Everything happens in your browser. No data is sent to external servers.
