Whenever I stream channels on my phone it is extremely smooth without any buffering but when I try using the same m3u link on my laptop it buffers constantly, even on VLC player. I tried changing the network caching settings but it didn't solve the issue.
Both devices are on the same 5G internet connection and it's not like I have a crappy outdated laptop so I'm not sure what could be causing it.
At this point I've resorted to mirroring my phone screen to my laptop but it's not really optimal in terms of quality.
I'd appreciate any tips on solving this issue!
EDIT: The issue seems to be my IPTV service as I tried streaming on VLC with a different provider and my buffering problem was resolved.
