How to use VLC for iOS and Panasonic TV>IP server?

[Slim]

I would like to use VLC for iOS to receive the DVB-C TV program that the built-in TV>IP server of my Panasonic TX65-FZW954 streams into my home LAN. I have activated the TV’s TV>IP server but VLC doesn‘t find the stream. What am I doing wrong?

You don't do anything wrong. The problem is that we don't support the SAT>IP protocol on iOS. It is available on Windows, Linux and macOS only.

Thanks! This explains a lot.

I now installed VLC media player 3.0.8 for Windows. It finds my TV and shows it under "Universal Plug'n'Play". Unfortunately, after I double-click the TV, VLC displays ASTRA Satellite playlists only - while my Panasonic TV is streaming the cable TV program into the network. Any hint where I can find a m3u playlist that works with cable TV or where I can find instructions how I can write a m3u playlist for cable TV myself?

No, this depends on your cable TV provider. However, once you found such a m3u file, you can hook it up in VLC. Go to VLC's Preferences / Settings, then on "advanced" (or "all") and expand "Playlist" -> "Services discovery" -> "UPnP" - you'll find the option to enter your "Custom SAT>IP channel list URL". Make sure to select "Custom List" in the switch above, too.

Thanks for that hint! I am not there yet, but I think I am getting closer.

In the preferences, I set the channel list type in the UPnP Services Discovery section to "Server List". VLC now shows the m3u channel list as provided by the Panasonic TV>IP server (I believe). This is one entry as an example:
rtsp://192.168.1.12:554?&freq=386.00&msys=dvbc&mtype=256qam&sr=0
Unfortunately, when I try to play a channel, VLC throws the following error:
mjpeg error: cannot peek
live555 error: URL is for SAT>IP, bailing out

Any ideas?
