How to play IPTV using iptv-org playlist and VLC

More directions at iptv-orgs github

1. open up VLC (and most other media players)
2. select the media tab in top left, navigate to ‘open network stream’
3. paste this URL: https://iptv-org.github.io/iptv/index.m3u to import the global playlist of all iptv-org streams
4. Open vlc’s playlist viewer with ctrl+L or right click > view > playlist

You should see a bunch of IPTV streams to choose from. Go to search bar located top right to search playlist for the stream you want. You can look for a more specific iptv-org playlist for your language and stuff. when commercial breaks happen it just shows a still frame. If nothing is playing right away try waiting a few minutes.

I hope all this has helped you out, Lumisal. I updated the formatting on my comments to closer resemble a guide in case you decide to link them in the future. Enjoy your open and energy efficient computing!
