How to setup IPTV M3U File to view on VLC Media Player?

Here are the instructions on how to use the VideoLan’s VLC media player to stream and run IPTV, the IP-based TV service, to view TV programs from around the world. Normally, IPTV is viewed with the media player on the IPTV website. However, using the newer versions of VLC, you can stream TV from IPTV through the VLC player if you properly configure the player. You can download the standard VLC Player (v2.2.1 for Windows) from here or choose to download the latest VLC player version for any operating system from Videolan.org.

 STEP 1: Open the VLC media player. 

 STEP 2: Click the “Media” button on the top navigation bar to show the File menu.

STEP 3: Click the “Open File” option, and select the M3u file.

 STEP 4: To change channels, look for the ‘Toggle playlist’ icon which is the 3rd square icon from the right at the bottom of the VLC app.
