M3U playlist in VLC

Postby ralome » 30 Jun 2014 02:09

Hi

I have a m3u playlist with around 100 URLs of video streams. With VLC for OSX I can open the m3u file and have all of them in the playlist, but with VLC for iOS I can't open it. I tried both via iTunes and direct download.

Each stream is played by VLC just fine if I enter the URL manually, but it'a a big hassle to enter all of them. Also I'm not able to edit the title to have some meaningful description for each one.

Is there a way to import this playlist? If not is there a plan for such feature?

So far, we don't support that, but we will, in the future.

Please add this feature as soon as you can.

I have all my TV channels available via RTP://*** streaming (more than 100) and I can't use this .m3u playlist.

Thanks in advance.

We need to expose that feature in the interface. The underlying implementation is already there, which allows playback of network hosted m3u files already as in http://server.com/myradio.m3u

Hello. I have iPad Air and with VLC Player (v2.5.1) it´s impossible to Play/Import playlist .m3u (iptv channels). Sooo, when, and how long we need to wait for this option?
Have a nice day ;)

paoloandrea... IP Television is ''--please stay polite--''. You don't get, what you pay for! And after you pay for it, you Need to buy several things, and after that you have ''full'' funktional app.

Sooo my question is, how Long we Need to wait for VLC? ;)
