Howtos and Tutorials from behind the firewall
In my last post I told you how to change the interface metric from command line if your Ptcl smart tv is not working on your pc.
In this post I will tell you how to change the interface metric from GUI.
If you has multiple interface on your PC then chances are multicast streaming (like iptv PTCL smart tv pc application) will not work on your pc.
Most of the peoples who has the multiple interface like lan card wifi connected on the same time complains ptcl smart tv not working on their pc.
The reason behind this problem is your video player is send multicast packets to the wrong interface. To solve the problem simply follow these steps.
Run cmd .
If you has Windows vista or later then right click on the cmd and run as administrator.
Enter the following command on the cmd to check the interface name and metric
netsh interface ipv4 show interface
output will be like this.
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.
