M3U link works but takes 10 minutes to load network stream
Posted: 12 Sep 2020 22:24
Hello,
I use VLC to watch IPTV on Windows 10 with a .m3u link. The link takes 10 minutes to load and another 10 minutes to load a specific channel, VLC will simply freeze during this time. Once the channel is loaded, VLC and the stream work flawlessly, but getting there can take 20-30 minutes. I believe this is because the channel listing may be too large (i.e. 1000+). It's only the initial load time that takes a long time, post-load, the stream works fine for hours.
Is there a way to:
- load a specific channel or channel shortlist from a .m3u link
- improve performance
Thanks in advance
