3. Create application:
   • Title: OTT Playlist
   • Short name: ottplaylist
4. Copy:
   • api_id (example: 12345678)
   • api_hash (example: abcd1234...)

⚠️ Important Notes

Telegram Video Streaming Limitations:

Telegram doesn't provide direct streaming URLs by default. The playlist generates message links (https://t.me/channel/123).

Solutions:

Option A: Use Telegram Bot API (Current)

• Playlist contains Telegram message links
• OTT Navigator opens Telegram app
• Manual click to play

Option B: Telegram Web Player (Better)

• Need custom proxy/web interface
• Stream video directly
• Complex setup

Option C: Download & Re-host (Best for OTT)

• Auto-download videos from channel
• Upload to hosting (Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2 - free tier)
• Direct stream URLs in playlist
• Need storage management

---

🎯 Recommended Approach

For true OTT Navigator streaming, consider:

1. Manual forward videos to channel ✅
2. GitHub Action auto-download from channel
3. Upload to free storage (Cloudflare R2 = 10GB free)
4. Generate M3U8 with direct URLs
5. Stream dalam OTT Navigator ✅

Want me to create the auto-download + re-host version? 🤔
