Generating a M3U8 file

Before configuring Kodi we need to generate a URL with all the channels. Below is a URL generator, it generates URL based on how many hours back from Israel time you want to play the channels and you can also choose multiple timezones.
This generated URL will be used in step 11 in the Step by Step Guide below and in step 9 in the Visual Guide below.
