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.
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.

Download is updated
I am using smart Tv on ptcl evo. In the app, it asked for username and password. so in this file (*.m3u) how to give the username and password for vlc ? because currently i am unable to play it… 🙁
This file is not for PTCL evo users. Only users how are using smart tv app on dsl can use this.

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
I am using Smart TV with my DSL and its activated on LAN1 on the modem, what if I want to see the same on my PC? Any possibility?

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 !
What is your current settings here. Are you using smart tv device or its only pc tv ? Which Operating system you are using. Is it wifi or lan card ?
I dont have smart tv in lahore, just the 1mb dsl. I use Mac book air to run it. I use Wifi to connect.
I dont know how to tell you the settings.
In fsd, no smart tv, just 4mb dsl, on my mac over wifi.
hello bhai, it is not working on VLC, and also not working on android App, can u plz help me, its working on official web application but not on, VLC, and ur m3u file is also not available, where can i download it??
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.
