I am been using IPTV for a month and I love it, I don’t mind the small percent of time where it buffers or is down, $15 vs $85 is not brainer for me. Now, I am wonder how long is going to last? I read that for some countries you need VPN, does anyone know why? Do you guys see government attacking IPTV providers?

Just looking for opinions and facts! Thanks for reading, looking forward to read your comments.

Is there a way to record to a shared network drive. When I try it only allows a local storage on my amazon fire?

Hey so I was just introduced to IPTV. I found a subscription and purchased it. Currently I’m using a Mag-322w1 box and the quality is good but the problem for me is that the provider I bought it from is located in China, so the international channels that I watch are not running by USA time.

Do you guys know any way of changing the time zone or something so I can watch the international shows at the same schedule as they would be scheduled on a TV provider like Direct TV or DishNetwork?

Ok am the using xtream codes panel from my provider and for the 2nd time in about 2 weeks, when i get down to 10 credits then make a sale it leaves only 1 credit ? Just takes them but adds more years onto the sub what i didnt want ?has anyone else had this problem

Hello!

I was looking for a way to watch IPTV on my PS4. I do have an android stick, but I am not really a fan of the remote (I have an Rii Mini i25). Probably I could get a better remote (open to any advice, by the way) but in the meantime I was looking to see if I could use the play.

Seems like I have to setup a plex server on a computer in the same network. Is that right?
Is there another way? Would a Raspberry Pi 3 be enough?

Thanks.

Im using pp with transparent logos, does anyone know what size the logos should be scaled to to avoid having diff size logos and also to use the max space available (most of the images are high res). And is there a method or recommended approach to simplify/automate this. Thanks!

new iptv user, signed up with vader streams. i was able to configure the playlist and get all the channels with SS IPTV on my LG tv but im not sure how to configure the VOD part of my subscription, anyone have advice or a tutorial?

So I'm trying to get record big chunks of time (sometimes up to 3 hours) of a given IPTV stream and every method I've tried has been unreliable at best. A brief summary:

VLC - I manually go and get the stream URL from the m3u8, load it up in VLC and hit record. Always works for a little while, but VLC is very bad at when theres anything more than a slight blip in the consistency of the stream and will either freeze completely or just close, in which case it doesnt auto resume and if it did it doesn't auto record so thats moot anyways. I'd be happy using VLC for short bursts, but sooner or later they'll be a hiccup in the stream and VLC will stop and thatll be that.

HLS Proxy - I feel like this SHOULD be the solution, because this program is just a great concept and usually works pretty well and is super useful for getting a good buffer on streaming ect. It has a built in recording function, with a timer schedule and everything, so I thought for sure this would work well. The problem is I go to schedule a recording and the same deal, eventually it will crash and the program stops responding and the web browser wont let me cancel the recording (to possibly restart it) or anything. This has happened to me several times. Its a tragedy because this really should be it but it simply crashes after maybe 45 minutes to an hour and then gets very hard to stop and restart the recording.

FFMPEG - Straight to the source, I used the master tool of HLS stream recording, FFMPEG, piping in the URL manually into the command like and using the COPY function (so no transcoding to slow down the process, i think...) and have had some moderate success. I've recorded over an hour with this but it seems like the same fundamental problem as any of these: If the stream lags for more than a few seconds, the program either quits or freezes and does not try again to resume. I feel like this could maybe be addressed with a slick command line script or something but I feel like there must be something out there than can record well and consistently and ALSO will auto-resume/auto-record upon any issues with the streams, to miss as little as possible in the recording.

I know about IPTV Extreme or whatever on android which supposedly records but A. I dont want to record on Android and b. ive heard it too is rather unreliable.

Any thoughts?

Hey guys, do you know any good Web IPTV player?

I bought an IPTV from a vendor in their store over the holidays. I have returned home and it seems I cannot access any of the settings due to password lock.

I tried 0000,00000,8888 and 9999. Can anyone help me out?

I have a weirdly locked MAG 322 I cannot see the portals section to add a portal etc. I have flashed the firmware successfuly with various firmwares both from the inner portal bit or by doing it just after boot in the BIOS section. I have also reset to factory settings on nand1 and nand2. That always did the trick before on other locked boxes on both mag 254 and mag 322 but no matter what I do I cannot factory reset this mag 322 any tips would be welcome.

Don’t actually care about all the bells and whistles of IPTV such as epg, channel list expensive box etc you just use it on a football match by football match basis. 70% of the time it’s not being used in my household

I'm in Alberta Canada and I'm curious if anyone here uses IPTV over Telus' fiber? Are there any road blocks they throw up? What kind of data usage do you have (gigs/hour type thing)? I haven't pulled the trigger yet on any set top boxes but I was thinking of doing my own diy thing and using a raspberry pi 3.

Seems a bit unnecessary to create a whole new channel especially when the NFL has about 3 weeks left and all you have is the NBA.

Hey guys, I've done a lot of reading on this board and have learned a lot about specs for Android boxes. However, I wonder if I really need one. For the last couple of days, I have been testing a couple of providers using my Firestick 4K. I also tried streaming using VLC on my laptop. Even my LG Smart TV has an app that I could use for IPTV. I have been disappointed with the image quality using the Firestick. Even HD casts seem dull and are sometimes buffering. Here is my question, would I get significantly better image quality by using an Android Box? If yes, I have been considering Z7+, Buzz, Dreamcast or Nvidia TV Shield. I suspect the latter may be overkill as I do not game but I do want to use IPTV and already use KODI and Showbox. Thanks for any help. btw I am streaming to an LG 4K 65" TV and have 100MBS internet service.

Hello I would like to start my own business with iptv but I don't know where to start..I have 5k to start I need advice how to do start with this I want a top service..
