Setup steps
Before you start
Your M3U URL or Xtream login (username, password, server URL) arrives on WhatsApp right after your order is confirmed. Keep that message handy — you will paste from it in the steps below.

The quick way — VLC
- Install VLC from videolan.org if you do not have it.
- Open VLC → Media → Open Network Stream (Windows) or File → Open Network (Mac).
- Paste your M3U URL from WhatsApp and select Play.
- The playlist opens as a list — press Ctrl+L (Cmd+L on Mac) to see all channels.
Note — VLC has no TV guide and no favourites. It is a diagnostic tool and a second screen, not a lounge setup.
