I just want the Manjaro Arm to not fizzle the gui’s and run Firefox at speeds faster than 1980s era internet…

Or any desktop distro, even gnome or ubuntu

    I didn’t know VLC worked with IPTV. I’m guessing through plug in?

    VLC was giving me issues too when playing video as well though, but only on some distros

      I got the directions from iptv-orgs github

      1. open up vlc media player or in theory any.
      2. select the media tab in top left, navigate to ‘open network stream’
      3. paste this url in

      https://iptv-org.github.io/iptv/index.m3u

      Note: No video will play. This is to import the playlist of iptv streams.

      1. Open vlc’s playlist viewer with ctrl+L or right click > view > playlist You should see a bunch of IPTV streams probably in all sorts of languages since this is the main global playlist. Go to search bar located top right to search playlist for the stream you want. I live in us so I searched for Fox News based around my states capital. You can look for a more specific iptv-org playlist for your language and stuff.

      Note: when commercial breaks happen it just shows a still frame. If nothing is playing right away try waiting a few minutes.
