View IP-tv on Android TV console

Many Internet service providers offer their customers an additional service-IPTV tv. And if you view it on your computer or modern tv special problems does not cause, until recently, there were no easy solutions for IPTV Viewer for Android media players.

But with the recent establishment of the application from the developer of Aleksei Sofronov, arrange viewing IPTV on Android devices was very simple.

So, If you want to watch IPTV on your Internet service provider or tv from any other online source to media player running Android OS, us first, as you have probably guessed, need a special IPTV application. This application, called IPTV, You can free download

Android Market Play Store

. The program lets you download playlists with channels in m3u format and play it using Media Player installed on PDAs, such as MX Video Player, Daroon Player, Vplayer etc..

IPTV Viewer application for Android
At the moment I am aware application such 2A:

IPTV from Safronova

 

IP-TV from QSmart

Features of the application:
support for m3u playlists
reproduction of multicast streams over UDP proxy (the proxy must be installed on your local network)
channel display in list view or grid view

here

)
television program JTV format support (When there is a link to a tv program in the playlist; supported only ZIP archives)
Both application are similar and have similar functionality, everyone will choose the, that soul.

Playlists IPTV
One of the most frequent questions, This is where to get playlists.
The best option is a playlist of your ISP. but, first, not all ISPs provide IPTV service. And secondly, the playlist will only work in a local network provider.
The second option is third-party services providers, as an example of service

Telehouse

(14 days free after registration).
The third option, free public playlists. As a rule they do not live long, but I can give

. On specialized forums there are appropriate topics.

Multicast and Unicast
Links to the playlists can be unicast and multicast. Unicasts start with https:// and work, usually, on all devices. Multicast links begin with udp://@ and are often problems.
The reasons for the, Why not running Multicast:
The video player does not support udp streams
Router does not pass multicast packets
The best solution to these problems is to connect via LAN or UDP Proxy. This small program, which converts UPD threads in Http. UDP proxy features both under Windows and Linux.
But the best, If such a feature is your router. Firmware DD-WRT and Open-WRT have exactly this functionality.

Configuring an IPTV on Android Media Player

Enter the address of the file with the list of channels.

Go to the settings of the program and in the section "channel list, enter the Web address of a file from the playlist, you provided the service provider.

If IPTV viewing is accompanied by the deposition of parts of the video stream and the image contains many artifacts, then, most likely, your router doesn't proxy UDP, and to view IPTV, we will need to arrange your own proxy or connect the media player running Android OS to the router through the LAN connector.

Enter the settings for UDP proxy in IPTV application:
Go to the application settings menu, and in the section "Configure UDP proxy, enter the IP address and port, that have been set up in the program (UDP)-to-HTTP proxy, then select the type of proxy server (Windows or Linux) and click "OK".

On the basic settings of the program completed. For facilities, You can still select "video player" specific annex, with the help of which you'll see videos, or select "Select system" , so you can choose a player each time you start browsing new channel.

What video player select
IPTV application for Android are only "Viewer playlist". For video playback responds to an external video player. What player is best suited to your playlist, You should try. In one picture, the player may slow down and crumbles, on another play fine. I personally chose for themselves

Mx Player

, native video player from

Boxing media firmware

also copes with this function.

The use of IPTV applications is not particularly comfortable for the following reason:
Impossible in live view mode, switch to the next channel. It is necessary to return to the channel list and start a new. I hope so, the developers IP TV in the near future decide this question. For example, the application works

GoWEB

to view the Russian and Ukrainian tv channels with P2P technology.

Additional information:
Russian interface: Yes

Yesterday everything worked, Today, there is no, Why? The firmware has not changed.
If you are using an open playlist forums, that this is normal, t.. Open playlists very often banâtsâ providers when you increase the load on the server. If you are watching tv from the Internet provider via UDP proxy, then make sure, that the proxy is up and running, and the IP address of the computer with proxy has not changed. Also, It is quite possible, that provider-side issues, to verify, open the same playlist on your computer.

What is the difference between Pro-version and the normal?
IPTV – There are advertising, history of playlists is limited to 5-th elements.
IPTV Pro – No advertising, history of playlists is limited to 250-th elements, There is a possibility of application Autostart when the device boots (useful for consoles running Android OS).
In the future the list of differences can vary.
