WINDOWS AND MAC IPTV INSTALLATION

Set up Lounge Hub on your computer.

  3. Open the installer and allow installation if your system asks for permission.
  4. Launch the app and choose Add New User.
  5. Select Login with Xtream Codes API.
  6. Enter your Lounge Hub username, password, and portal URL.
  7. Save the profile and wait for live TV, movies, series, and EPG to load.

MyIPTV Player or VLC Setup

MyIPTV Player for Windows

  1. Install MyIPTV Player from Microsoft Store.
  2. Open Settings and choose Add new playlist and EPG source.
  3. Name your playlist, paste your Lounge Hub M3U URL, and add the remote list.
  4. Select the playlist from the channel playlist menu and open Channels.

VLC Player

  1. Open VLC and choose Media, then Open Network Stream.
  2. Paste the M3U playlist URL from Lounge Hub.
  3. Press Play. VLC is useful for quick testing, but dedicated IPTV apps usually provide a better guide and VOD experience.

Troubleshooting Desktop IPTV

If the app shows invalid login, re-enter the portal URL and credentials exactly. If video stutters, test ethernet, close VPN temporarily, restart the router, and check that no other downloads are using bandwidth.
