Run PTCL Smart tv (iPTV) on linux MAC etc

 

If you want to run PTCL smart tv on linux , mac or  you did not like the application that ptcl has created for its smart tv customers then you are on right place. Simply download the file from here. And open it with any player like vlc kme etc and you are good to go. The attached file smarttv.m3u has the list of all the PTCL smart tv channels. You can use this file to run the channels on your iPad etc.

PTCL smart tv channel list

Personally I did not like the PTCL smart tv pc application. It did not provide you much control like you did not change the video aspect ratio. Put the video on top so you can work and watch tv on the same time.

Update 20/01/2015

Download is updated

    Hello! I tried this .m3u playlist on my mac via VLC. Although it pickups the channel but the picture is very shaky and breaks up a lot – also no sound…

    does it require some sort of routing or proxy setup via the DSL model? Thanks

    Zeeshan bhai !
    Help me please…
    This app works perfectly fine when I’m in faisalabad but it stops working when I come home in lahore. What could be the possible reason why it doesnt work here?
    I personally think that this could be due to my network settings here at home in lahore which do not allow it to work.
    HELP PLEASE !

    Hey, Zeeshan!

    This is Awais, I am trying to use PTCL Smart TV, it isn’t working anywhere, neither the way you described nor the online site.

    Here’s my setup
    — Macbook Pro (Yosemite)
    — PTCL 8Mbps with SmartTV (not the tv device just I know I got registered at SmartTV.pk when I applied for 8Mbps connection)
    — When I sign in online and play anything, it asks me to sign in again.(I’ve installed the ViewRightWeb Package for Mac)

    — Your playlist opens up just fine in the VLC player, but it doesn’t play anything.
