Subscription & API Key Management: IPTV access is sold as a user subscription in the UMVA dashboard and is billed from the user's USD wallet.

User dashboard area: /user/iptv

Current subscription behavior:

• New IPTV subscriptions currently cost $100.00 USD per month.
• Billing is deducted from the user's USD wallet.
• New subscriptions are created as active and expire one month from activation.
• Auto-renew is enabled by default for new subscriptions.
• Renewal billing cycles supported by the user area are 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.

User actions available in the IPTV dashboard:

• Create a new subscription
• View subscription details
• Renew a subscription
• Toggle auto-renew
• Cancel a subscription
• Regenerate the API key
• Update subscription settings such as the display name

Important integration notes:

• If an API key is regenerated, old integrations using the previous key stop working immediately.
• If a subscription expires or is cancelled, IPTV API requests return authorization errors until renewed.
• The recommended flow is: create subscription → copy API key → call /channels → use returned proxied channel_url values for playback.

Example playback flow:

1. Authenticate using the IPTV API key.
2. Fetch channels from GET /api/iptv/channels.
3. Show channel metadata such as channel_name, channel_country, channel_type, and channel_thumb.
4. Pass the returned channel_url to your IPTV player or frontend application.
