Or open the M3U link in VLC
In VLC, choose Media → Open Network Stream (Windows) or File → Open Network (Mac), paste your M3U link and press Play. VLC doesn't show a full TV guide.
Common problems
VLC shows no TV guide
VLC plays M3U playlists but has no full EPG. Use a dedicated desktop IPTV player for a guide.
The stream stutters on Wi-Fi
Connect by Ethernet or move closer to the router, and close other apps using bandwidth.
