VLC Media Player IPTV

Utilize the world

Sometimes the simplest tools are the best. Discover how to use a VLC Media Player IPTV setup to test streams and watch live TV on your computer.

Setting up VLC Media Player IPTV

VLC is famous for being able to play almost any video file on earth, making it an excellent tool for desktop streaming. A VLC Media Player IPTV setup simply requires you to open the software, select 'Open Network Stream', and paste your M3U link. VLC will automatically download the playlist and start playing the first channel. However, VLC lacks a modern TV guide interface. For a true television experience in the living room, a dedicated app like IBO Player Pro is mandatory, as it provides a beautiful UI and EPG. Read our IBO Player Pro review for more.
