Probably would prefer this whole post gets deleted by admin, but the lesson here is I had the correct m3u url all along. It's the windows iptv programs that aren't worth a crap. Figured that out when I ran the m3u url using vlc player and all the channels work, so frankly the current state of windows iptv apps are appalling and if I can get android subsystem working again in windows, I'll use that. If I can't I'll just stick with vlc player. Apologies for this Wikipedia sized post, but I ended up being frustrated because I couldn't get things to work, but none of that was on my end, because as I've said, the same m3u url that I entered into all those windows iptv apps didn't work, and the same m3u url works fine in vlc. I'm done for the night. Admin, if you want to delete this post, Id be fine with that. In fact, I'd prefer it. Thanks.
Hi, can someone please DM the format required that I need to enter in perfect player to get this working in windows. I'm used to ott navigator and xciptv in android where you use an http address and then sign in with your user info, but I'm obviously not doing that correctly using perfect player for windows. It's asking for the Playlist url and the epg url and I have no idea where the sign in user ID and password goes within the url address to make it work. Could someone please dm me on what I'm doing wrong here. Feel like a complete idiot, scratching my head trying to make this work.
Also, is there a better iptv for use with windows than perfect player?
Thanks for any help.
P.s I've tried iptvsmarters pro for windows and that has a straightforward sign in, but I'm dealing with a handheld windows gaming device (onexplayer), like a steamdeck but with windows 11 and when you startup the iptv smarters app, half the screen isn't available like it would be on a normal windows 11 laptop, so not easy to run. Trying to see if perfect player will allow me to navigate iptv properly with an 8.4 inch screen.
Also installed android subsystem for windows but the latest win 11 update is preventing me from starting any android app and now I'm forced to find a windows iptv app that works with a device that has a small screen.
