Hey Guys,
I am trying to set up IPTV simple so I can watch Live TV on XBMC but I am unable to load the M3U playlist. I am able to play it on VLC without any problem.
I've been looking for the past 2 days for a solution or if I have missed a step but could not find an answer or maybe I could not decrypt the proper method to do it.
I've tried first on my computer (Windows 8) XBMC, ATV2 and Openelec (Atv1). I have xbmc 12.3 frodo on the first 2 and 12.2 on Openelec.
Question, do I need a TV tuner ? Apparently No based on what I read.
So here's what I did, enabled IPTVsimple under PVR addons then I went to enable Live TV under system settings in XBMC
I created the playlist and transferred the file under my downloads folder. I directed the path under IPTV simple to locate the file.
When I go to Live TV, it does not load anything, I tried multiple M3U files but none of them is working.
I am sure, I am missing something very obvious to do and excuse my ignorance. Can someone help with my apparent stupid request. Usually, when I face an issue, I just look in the forum until I find the answer but this time I am stuck.
Thanks!
