is iptv on openbox v8s possible

I have iptv working on openbox. It's only 24hr test line but so far so good. Just renamed file to WebTV.m3u & loaded it onto box via USB on web Tv menu. I had tried a test from different provider last week and had no channel names and wouldn't connect so might just depend on where your are getting line. Yes it's slow to change channels but even found it slow to change channel on firestick

Hi, do you sell IPTV line for openbox V8S?

It is possible but is very basic. The v8s does have a crashing issue when changing channel within the WebTV. There is the issue of the No Channel name on the channel list that pkr-gramps touched on. As mentioned it is possible if its your only option but very basic.

It should have the names next to the channel number. It is a issue which seems to be with the WebTV on the v8s box. There are a few members who have mentioned a fix within the forum about the issue.

I found a program which will convert your original m3u file and save a copy as WebTV.m3u. It keeps all the original channel names. Its called Swan IPTV m3u converter. Hopefully it uploads here ok. If not, get back to me and I will forward it directly.

I'm new to IPTV and running the Openbox V8S. It works but I wouldn't recommend it, regularly freezes when you are flicking through channels and then you have to kill the power to get it working again. Plus no EPG. Also football yesterday was unwatchable (pic freezing), though not sure if that was down to my provider, waiting on a reply.

I had the same problems as stated above. I found that once you have your m3u file from your provider you then download this and rename it. Most guides state to rename webtv.m3u, which i did. For my V8S this failed to recognise the file. After a bit of searching I found that if you just rename the file webtv without the .m3u extension this works, which it did for me.

It seems for some V8S boxes it works with the .m3u extension and for others like mine it only works without the extension and just renaming the file webtv. Whether this is down to some differences between boxes or the .m3u files from providers, I don't have the technical knowledge to say.

In terms of uploading the file to the V8S, process is exactly as described in an earlier post by barneygumble, takes just a minute to sort.

I'm looking at getting a new box and leaning towards the mag256, seems a solid choice, any others I should look at?

Hello Matie

The file needs an extension of some sort so do you mean it was named webtv.txt and not webtv.m3u?

Cheers
