Noob question - VLC and Channel skipping

Hello, I am trying to run IPTV over VLC on my El Capitan mac with the URL for the playlist. After putting the URL In it pulls up the list of channels, click on one and it'll play it for maybe 10 seconds then jump to the next channel... How do I get it to stop? I found a tutorial of how to simply press this loop button down next to the play button/ button bar, but the mac version simply doesn't have that button. Can't find anything like that in the settings either. Ideas?

How can you make sense of so many channels?

Just looking for some ideas on how to make my channels more organised.

First a little about my setup...mainy using SmartIPTV or SmartSTB on a Samsung TV. With Helix as my service.

As it is I have over 7000 channels in 121 groups. Many VOD. What about a way to remove groups that I (probably) will never watch? Remove VOD?

Any other suggestions? Thanks for reading.

IPTV software for Windows?

I recently got myself a DVB-C stick, in order to watch TV on my computer. I've been using NextPVR, and it has been working alright, but I'd like to stream the channels to other devices as well. Is there a software like TVHeadend, but for Windows?

EDIT: it seems that some people have gotten confused - no, I don't want to restream an IPTV provider. I basically want to run my private IPTV server, which restreams the FTA channels from my cable package.

For people needing to use a VPN for your service check this out

I have been learning AWS and stumbled across this:

Apparently you can set up a free VPN using AWS. I figured the people here are tech savvy enough to get it running. Could be a way to save a few bucks.

What and where to get step by step for running IPTV set up.

Hi

I'm looking for some advice on the best companies to look at for IPTV. I'm looking for 1 dedicated server (unmanaged) that I can use to hold my streams

Ubuntu 14.04 is needed (requirement of Xtreamcodes)
64GB to 128GB DDR memory
Guaranteed speed of 1Gbit/s on unmetred/unlimited bandwidth please.
DDoS Protection included too
UK/Europe based please as my users are Euro based so local is better.

Input into each server will be about 500-600mb/s but output will always be higher depending on time of day and day of the week, on a weekend the demand can increase by 60%.
The ability of upgrade the server is a bonus, as my needs change I'd like the server to change with me but the ability to be able to talk to the company is important,

If anyone has any suggestions on companies I'd love to hear, budget Low to start and build as i grow.
thanks

Possible To Use Mayfair Guide with Vaders?

I've been on my trial-pilgrimage and found two providers that check all the boxes I'm looking for in a service. Vaders offers the fullest EPG for US channels, but I really enjoy Gears EPG with Mayfair and Kodi. Gears just doesn't offer m3u for my DVR so I won't be moving on with them. I'd really like to utilize Vaders with Mayfair if possible.

Are The EPL Blocks Still An Issue for providers ?

It seems as though most providers have found a way to circumvent the blocks, apart from the first few weeks of the season i can't remember using a VPN. reading most forums and this reddit sub it seems like this is no longer a huge barrier for IPTV and that lessons have been learnt. Blocks are a blessing in disguise for me cos it shows who to stay away from and its no surprise that its mostly the newcomers who are struggling.

​

I'm fairly sure the ISP's can put in place much more sophisticated blocks but you need to remember that BT Virgin EE etc are forced to do this by the courts and will probably do the bare minimum to comply.
