How to watch IPTV with VLC

 

TPG default settings make you install VLC and the VLC plugin, you must then watch IPTV using their web page.

Personally I don’t like it.


I prefer to use VLC instead.


Open VLC, go into the File menu and select “Open Network” or “Open Network Stream”.

Check HTTP and enter the URL

Edit 09/04/2011: TPG now provides its own playlist file. You can download it there:

http://www.tpg.com.au/iptv/playlist.php

You can control the protocol used in the generated playlist with:

http://tpg.com.au/iptv/playlist.php?protocol=iptv://@


Windows




Mac




On Linux you can directly type:

# vlc http://avenard.org/iptv/playlist-tpg-vlc.m3u


Enjoy VLC and IPTV (over wireless)






IPTV over a ssh shell in text mode (just for fun)
