Setup steps

  1. 1
    Install VLC

    Download VLC from videolan.org and install it on your platform. (Already installed on most Linux systems.)

  2. 2
    Open Network Stream

    Windows/Linux: Media → Open Network Stream. macOS: File → Open Network. iOS/Android: tap the network tab and "Open Network Stream".

  3. 3
    Paste the TrexTV M3U URL

    Paste the M3U URL we email you and press Play. VLC opens the playlist and starts playing the first channel.

  4. 4
    Browse the channel list

    View → Playlist (Ctrl+L on Windows/Linux, Cmd+Option+P on macOS) to see all channels. Double-click any channel to switch.

  5. 5
    Save the playlist for next time

    Media → Save Playlist to File so you can reopen TrexTV instantly later without re-entering the URL.

When to use VLC for IPTV

VLC is the perfect "first 5 minutes" tool for IPTV. Got a fresh subscription? Open VLC, paste the M3U URL, and you'll know within 30 seconds whether the stream works, the channels are correct, and your internet handles it. It's also the easiest way to test specific channels without leaving the PC.

What VLC does not do

VLC has no EPG (TV guide), no channel logos, no favourites, no parental PIN, and a fairly basic channel list. For a permanent setup on a TV, you want IPTV Smarters Pro or TiviMate.

VLC on a PC + HDMI setup

If you've connected your laptop to a TV via HDMI, VLC is more than enough for watching IPTV in full-screen. Press F (or fullscreen icon) and you've got a basic TV experience.

VLC on iOS and Android

Mobile VLC also supports M3U network streams — handy for travel, hotel TVs, or watching on a tablet.

FAQ

VLC Player IPTV — FAQ

Does VLC support EPG (TV guide) for IPTV?

No. VLC plays IPTV streams but has no built-in TV guide. For EPG, channel logos, and a TV-style interface, use IPTV Smarters Pro, TiviMate, or Kodi PVR.

Will all TrexTV channels show up in VLC?

Yes — VLC reads the same M3U playlist as Smarters or TiviMate, so the full TrexTV channel list is available.

Can I use VLC on my Smart TV?

Most Smart TVs do not have VLC. VLC is best on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. For a Smart TV, use the dedicated IPTV apps on the <a href="/devices/">devices page</a>.

Do I need special hardware to use TrexTV?

No. If you already own a Firestick, Smart TV, Android box, Apple TV, Roku, or a computer, you can install a supported IPTV player and start watching.

Which IPTV player do you recommend?

IPTV Smarters Pro and TiviMate are the most popular options. They work on most platforms, look great, and support both M3U and Xtream Codes login.

Can I use TrexTV on multiple devices?

Each subscription includes one connection by default. You can be logged in on several devices but only stream from one at a time. Extra connections can be added on request.
