Frequently Asked Questions

Does Sama have the same EPG customization as OTT Navigator Pro?
Sama focuses on a clean, well-tuned EPG rather than exposing every styling option. For most users this is more than enough; power users who want granular EPG styling may prefer OTT Navigator Pro.
Can I import OTT Navigator playlists into Sama?
Yes. The M3U URLs and Xtream Codes credentials you use in OTT Navigator work unchanged in Sama.
